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.

this chapter.

2) Manual transmission from the other party.

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

switch elsewhere in this chapter.)
