Set standby mode
If your fax machine is connected to the PSTN, there are 4 different ways of receiving documents.
Automatic reception
If the line is reserved exclusively for fax operation.
The fax machine switches over to reception as soon as the line rings. The number of rings before the fax
machine is activated can be set (see below).
The fax machine is always activated, even if the call is initiated by a voice partner.
Manual reception
If the line is used primarily for telephone traffic.
The call must be accepted manually; the fax machine is not activated when the line rings. The call must be
accepted manually; the fax machine is not activated when the line rings. The call must be accepted by an
additional telephone. If you wish to transmit a document, you must press the START key of the fax machine.
Ensure that any fax calls can be accepted by means of the external telephone. Pressing the start key
only has an effect if the handset is off-hook. See also information on
Combined mode (TEL/FAX):
If the line is defined for telephone as well as for fax operation, and if you are primarily situated in the room.
In the event of a call, the fax machine decides on the subsequent mode fully automatically:
If the connection is a telephone call, the fax machine generates ringing signal via the loudspeaker so that this
call is indicated as a call. In parallel, the calling party receives an announcement with a subsequent ringing
signal to indicate that the other party is being called.
In order to receive the call, simply pick up the external telephone handset. In this context, the telephone can be
connected via the telephone socket or the TEL jack of the fax machine.
If the call is a fax transmission, your fax machine does not generate a ringing signal and automatically receives
the document.
Ensure that, in this mode, there is always somebody present to collect the call. As soon as the call signal
is indicated, the connection is established and the caller is subject to charges.
Call answering mode (FAX/TAD):
If the fax machine is to be operated with an external answering machine.
This mode enables you to receive fax documents and also to handle
callers. Two situations are possible:
You are at home:
Switch the answering machine off or set it in such a way that it
intercepts the call after a delay. In the event of a call, pick up the
telephone handset as usual. If the call has been initiated by a fax
machine, simply replace the telephone handset on the hook; your fax
machine will start receiving the incoming fax automatically.
If the answering machine no longer intercepts calls (e.g. because its recording capacity is exhausted), the call
is automatically intercepted by the fax machine after the tenth ring.
You are absent:
If a fax document arrives, your fax machine automatically handles the process of receiving the document.
• Note that the answering machine must be connected for this reception mode. If not, the receipt of faxes
cannot be guaranteed.
• Avoid using background music for your answering machine message, as this can lead to malfunction of the
fax machine.
