Some receive modes answer faxes
automatically (Fax Only and Fax/Tel).
You may want to change the Ring Delay
before using these modes. (See Ring Delay
on page 30.)

Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel 5

double ring made by your machine.
Use this mode if you receive few voice calls.
