Receiving Faxes

Reception Mode

Your fax machine has four different reception modes, each of which we’ll explain
in a moment ---- along with giving you an idea of which one you should use,
depending upon your set-up.

Answering calls manually ---- for all reception modes

In any reception mode, you can always answer calls manually.
Just pick up the fax handset.

If you hear someone speaking to you …
… go ahead and have a normal phone call.

If you hear distinctive fax tones …
… press

start

and hang up the

handset.
Your fax machine will begin receiving
fax.

Note:

Do not attempt to answer a call by pressing

monitor/call

. The monitor

function is only on-hook dialing. Your fax machine does not have a
speaker phone.

Tel Ready Mode

Use it if:

• You intend to use the same line for both fax and phone calls

and

• You’re using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not

connected to your fax machine.

In this mode: Your fax machine never answers calls automatically; you must

answer each call manually using the fax’s telephone handset or
another telephone in your home or office.

To select Tel Ready:

1. If you have an M880 and the red answer lamp is lit, press

answer

to turn off

answering machine mode.

2. If there isn’t a document in the feeder, skip to step 3.

If there is a document in the feeder, press

3. Press

until the following display is shown.

Fax Ready Mode

Use it if:

You have your fax machine installed on a “dedicated” line (one it

doesn’t share with either an answering machine or second phone).

In this mode: Your fax machine answers each incoming call after a certain

number of rings (see page 2.2) and attempts fax reception.
