Reception
Your OKIFAX 740 provides four modes for call reception:
• TEL mode
• FAX mode
• TEL/FAX mode
• TAD mode
Each mode is selectable at any time by pressing [RECEIVE
MODE] . You may also set the machine’s default mode (the
mode adopted by your OKIFAX 740 when it is switched
on) by programming function 47.
TEL Mode
In this mode your OKIFAX 740 will not automatically
answer incoming calls. This is convenient if you have a
normal telephone installed and wish to answer incoming
voice calls on the same line.
If you answer a call and hear a remote fax machine (short
beeps at 3-second intervals), press
[START] to begin fax
reception.
FAX Mode
In this mode of operation your OKIFAX will automatically
answer incoming calls with a fax answer tone. This is
appropriate if your telephone line is dedicated to fax.
TEL/FAX Mode
In this mode your OKIFAX 740 will automatically answer
incoming calls. If it detects a remote fax machine calling it
will automatically respond and receive the fax message.
If no remote fax machine is detected your OKIFAX 740
will emit a high-pitched audible tone. In this case, lift your
telephone handset and press
[STOP] to begin a voice
conversation.
After a voice exchange, to commence a fax exchange press
[START] and hang up the telephone.
TAD Mode
TAD stands for ‘Telephone Answering Device,’ and is
appropriate if you wish to receive both voice and fax calls
while the OKIFAX 740 is unattended.
