(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the ring delay before using these
modes. See Ring Delay on page 44.
Fax only 6
Fax only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax call.
Fax/Tel 6
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognising
whether they are fax or voice calls and
handling 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.
Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 44 and Ring Delay on page 44.
Manual 6
Manual mode turns off all automatic

Distinctive Ring feature or you are using an
external TAD.
To receive a fax in manual mode lift the
handset of the machine or an external
telephone. When you hear fax tones (short
repeating beeps), press Black Start or
Color Start. You can also use the Easy
Receive feature to receive faxes by lifting a
handset on the same line as the machine.
Also see Easy Receive on page 45.

manage incoming calls, by recognizing
whether they are fax or voice calls and
handling them in one of the following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice callers can record a message.
To set up the Message Center mode see
page 68.
If Message Center Mode is On, it

setting. The screen shows MC.
If Message Center Mode is Off, the
receive mode returns to your
original setting. (See Message
Center mode on page 68.)
