There are four different receive modes for your FAX/MFC. You can choose the
mode that best suits your needs by pressing

LCD displays the setting you want to use.
*In FAX/TEL mode 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.
LCD How it works When to use it
MANUAL
(manual receive) You control the
phone line and must
answer every call
yourself. Use this mode when
you are using a
computer modem on
the same line or if
you receive very few
fax messages. You
can also use this
mode with
Distinctive Ringing.
FAX ONLY
(automatic receive) The FAX/MFC
automatically
answers every call as
a fax. For dedicated fax
lines. You cannot
receive a voice call
but you can call out.
FAX/TEL*
(fax and telephone) The FAX/MFC
controls the line and
automatically
answers every call.
If the call is a fax it
will receive the fax.
If the call is not a fax
it will ring (double
ring) for you to pick
up the call. You cannot have an
answering machine
on the same line,
even if it is on a
separate jack on the
same line. You
cannot use the
telephone company’s
Voice Mail in this
mode.
TAD:ANSWER MACH.
(External Telephone Answering
Device) The external TAD
automatically
answers every call.
Voice messages are
stored on the external
TAD. Fax messages
are printed. Use this mode if you
have an answering
machine on your
phone line.
