Epson C823301 - Manual (Page 4)

Automatic reception
Select this mode if you use the fax board with a telephone line
that you use exclusively for fax reception.
If you select Automatic reception mode, the board receives
faxes automatically any time fax data is received and the
printer it turned on. If you wish, you can connect a telephone
to the PHONE connector and place calls when the fax board is
not receiving a fax, but you cannot answer any calls.
Selective reception
Use this mode if you want the fax board to share the same line
with a telephone.
In this mode the telephone rings for a short time (15 or 30
seconds, depending on your setting) when a call comes in and
then the board begins fax reception if you do not answer the
telephone. If you answer the phone and it is a fax transmission,
you press the manual reception button and transmission
begins. If it is a voice call and you do not answer the phone,
the caller will hear a fax tone.
You can place telephone calls any time the board is not
receiving a fax.
