AUTOANS
Fax reception can be either manual or automatic. You will probably
want to receive faxes automatically, as this is the more
straightforward method. However, if you are using a single
telephone line for both telephone and fax reception you will have
several options. You can either use the unit in manual reception and
monitor all in-coming calls, or you can use the FAX/TEL switch
and let the machine decide if the call is a fax message or not.
To receive faxes automatically set the AUTO ANS function to ON
(the AUTO ANS. LED is lit), (see page IV-1-7). There is no need for
any further intervention - the machine will answer all calls
automatically at any time. Having successfully received a fax the
machine beeps once.

a fax is as follows:
HOOK
1) When the telephone rings either pick up the handset or press the
HOOK key.
START
2) If you hear a fax tone press the START key.
3) Replace the handset if necessary.
Having successfully received a fax the machine will beep once.
Reception with
FAX/TEL switching There are two types of reception with FAX/TEL switching as
described in the configuration section (see page IV-1-7) at the start of
this chapter.
1) Automatic transmission from the other party.
2) Manual transmission from the other party.
- Pick up the handset while the machine is ringing. Follow the
same procedure as for manual reception. If you do not pick up the
handset, the machine will he changed to automatic reception
mode after the specified ringing time. (Refer to the section on the
FAX/TEL switch elsewhere in this chapter.)
