Fax Detect

When you use this feature, you don’t have to press

Start

when you answer a fax call and hear calling

beeps. Just hold the handset and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVE on the fax
screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another
wall jack, just replace the handset, and your machine does the rest (see page 10 fig.2).

Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset
of an extension phone or a phone or TAD connected to the machine.

Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the machine.

Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing

Start

or by

pressing

if you are not at your machine. See “Operation from an External or Extension

Telephone” on page 42. Also see “For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only” on page 42.
