pressing the MODE button repeatedly until you have changed the AUTO and F/T lights to the
setting you want. For more information about a particular mode, refer to the page number given.

You control the phone line and must answer every 7.2
call yourself. Use this mode when you are using a
computer modem on the line or if you receive very few
fax messages.
(Automatic) The fax machine automatically answers 7.2
every call with fax tones (dedicated fax line). You can
not receive a telephone call, but you can use the line
to call out.
(Fax/Telephone) The fax machine controls the phone 7-3
line and automatically answers every call. If it an­
swers and hears fax tones coming over the line, it will
receive the fax message. If the fax machine answers
and does not hear fax tones, it will ring for you to pick
up a phone and take over the call. This mode is for
people who do not use an answering machine.
You can not have a telephone answering de­
vice in a separate phone jack on the same
phone line.
You must set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time.
If you have extension phones on the line, set the
Ring Delay to 4 rings.
(Telephone Answering Device) The answering ma- 7-10
chine controls the phone line and answers every call.
As soon as the TAD answers, the fax machine listens
for fax tones; if it hears them it will take over the call
and receive the fax message. The TAD must be a
physical device that is plugged into the EXT
jack of the fax machine. Your fax machine will
not work with an outside telephone answering
service. TAD mode can be .set so you can leave it
turned on when you are at the fax machine and still
have time to answer your calls before the TAD picks
up; you do not have to change modes when you come
and go.
The Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do not
apply! The number of rings is set on the an­
swering machine, which overrides the Ring
Delay setting on the fax machine.
