Receiving faxes

So what’s the big deal, anyway?!?

That may be what you’re wondering, upon seeing the title above. After all, telling

you how to

send

faxes is one thing, but — as long as the fax machine is running and

has paper installed — why spend time on explaining how to

receive

faxes?

Well, you have a point. Still, there are just a few little niceties you may find helpful

to know. So…

Different ways to get the job done

Reception modes

Your fax machine has two different reception modes — Tel Ready and Fax Ready

— each of which we’ll explain in a moment, along with giving you an idea of

which one you should use, depending upon your set-up.

Answering calls manually — for both reception modes

In either reception mode, you can always answer calls manually if you have an

optional handset installed. Just pick it up, as you would if using a normal phone.

If you hear someone speaking to you...

...go ahead and have a normal phone call.

If you hear distinctive fax tones (“beep — beep —

beep — beep”) press

START

and hang up the optional

handset. Your fax machine will begin receiving a fax.

Note:

Don’t try to answer a call by pressing

MONITOR

CALL

. The monitor function is

only for on-hook dialing. Your fax machine

does

not

have a speakerphone.

Tel Ready mode: when Auto Answer is off

Use it if:

• You intend to use the same line for both fax and phone calls

and

• You’re using, on that line, at least one other phone which is not

connected to your fax machine

and

•

You have installed an optional handset on your fax machine.

In this mode:

Your fax machine never answers calls automatically; you must

answer each call and handle it as described in “Answering calls

manually — for all reception modes” (this page, left column).

To select Tel Ready:

Press

COPY

FA X

to change to the Fax mode, if the machine isn’t the

Fax mode.

Press

PROGRAM

, and then

ENTER

six times. The

LCD

will show your

current reception mode.

Fax Ready

Program/Enter

To change the reception mode, press

PROGRAM

once or twice until “Tel

Ready” appears.

Press

ENTER

to save the setting.

The machine will return to the standby mode.

In Tel Ready mode, the Auto Answer light isn’t lit.
