Using Receive Modes

Some Receive Modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the Ring Delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 30.)
Fax Only
5
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax call.
Fax/Tel
5
Fax/Tel mode helps you manage incoming
calls by recognizing whether they are fax or
voice calls and handling them in one of the
following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T Ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T Ring is a fast
pseudo/double-ring made by your
machine.
If you use Fax/Tel mode, see F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only) on page 30 and Ring
Delay on page 30.

Manual mode turns off all automatic
answering functions unless you are using the
Distinctive Ring feature.
To receive a fax in Manual mode, lift the
handset of the external telephone or press
Hook. When you hear fax tones (short
repeating beeps), press Black Start or
Color Start, and then press 2 to choose
Receive. You can also use the Easy
Receive feature to receive faxes by lifting a
handset on the same line as the machine.
(See Easy Receive on page 31.)

External TAD mode lets an external
answering device manage your incoming
calls. Incoming calls will be handled in one of
the following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice callers can record a message on the
external TAD.
