Using receive modes

Some receive modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the ring delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 46.)

Fax only

Fax only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax call.

Fax/Tel

Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognizing
whether they are fax or voice calls and
dealing with them in one of the following
ways:
Faxes will be automatically received.
Voice calls will start the F/T Ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T Ring is a fast
double ring made by your machine.
(See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 46 and Ring Delay on page 46.)
You can provide useful information or advise
callers to hold until their call is answered by
recording a voice message. They will hear
this message when the F/T ring sounds. The
caller will not be able to leave a message.
See Outgoing message (OGM) on page 78.
