4. :j;;; BASIC USES
3. RECEIVING A FAX
Fax reception can be either manual or automatic. You will
probably want to receive faxes automatically^, as this is the
more straightforward method. Ilowevex;, if you are using a
single telephone line for both telephone and fax reception
there are several options available. You can either use the
unit in manual reception and monitor all in-coming calls, or
you can use the FAX/TEL switch and let the machine decide
if the call is a fax message or not. In addition, a TAD mode
can be selected if you have set up your unit for use with an
external TAD.
Automatic reception
To receive faxes automatically, set the AUTO ANS function to
ON (the AUTO ANS. LED is lighted — see page 4-7). No fur­
ther effort need be made. The machine will answer all calls
automatically at any time. Flaving successfully received a
fax, the machine will beep once.
Manual reception
To receive faxes manually, set the AUTO ANS function to
OFF (none of the LEDs are lighted — see page 4-7). The pro­
cedure for receiving a fax is as follows:
1) When the telephone rings either pick up the handset or
press the HOOK key.
2) If you hear a fax tone, press the START key.
3) Replace the handset if necessary.
Having successfully received a fax, the machine will beep
once.
