Basic Receiving Operations
Select Answer Mode
MANUAL—You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press
Start to begin receiving the fax, then hang up. You can use this mode with
Distinctive Ringing.
FAX ONLY—The FAX/MFC automatically answers every call as a fax call.
You cannot receive a voice call, but you can dial out and make a voice call.
FAX/TEL—The FAX/MFC automatically answers every call. If the call is a
fax, it prints the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with a double ring
(ring-ring), different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick
up the call. If you select this setting, you’ll need to set the Ring Delay and
F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages). If you have extension
phones on the same line as the FAX/MFC, set Ring Delay to 4.
TAD (For FAX 750 and FAX 770 only)—This is the only setting in which
you can use an external answering machine. Your telephone answering
device is connected to your FAX, and answers every call. Once the TAD
answers, the FAX listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it prints the fax.
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device
(TAD); it does not work with telephone company voice mail. Ring Delay
and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.
MSG CTR (For FAX 870MC and MFC 970MC only)—The FAX/MFC
provides you with a built-in digital Message Center for fax and voice. When
you set the machine to answer calls, it will record up to 15 minutes of
messages. For more information about Message Center (MSG CTR)
operation, please see Chapter 10.
