Basic receiving operations
Choosing the Receive Mode
There are four different Receive Modes for your MFC. You can
choose the mode that best suits your needs.
Setup Receive
LCD How it works When to use it
Fax Only
(automatic receive)
The MFC automatically
answers every call as a
fax.
For dedicated fax lines.
Fax/Tel
(fax and telephone)
The MFC controls the
line and automatically
answers every call. If the
call is a fax it will receive
the fax. If the call is not a
fax it will ring
(pseudo/double ring) for
you to pick up the call.
Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax
messages and few telephone calls. You can
not
have an answering machine on the same line, even
if it is on a separate wall jack on the same line. You
can not use the telephone company’s Voice Mail in
this mode.
External TAD
(with an external
answering device)
The external answering
device (TAD)
automatically answers
every call.
Voice messages are
stored on the external
TAD. Fax messages are
printed.
Use this mode if you have an external answering
machine on your phone line.
The TAD setting works only with an external
answering machine. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time
do not work in this setting.
Manual
(manual receive)
(with Distinctive Ring)
You control the phone
line and must answer
every call yourself.
Use this mode if you don’t receive many fax
messages, with Distinctive Ring, or if are using a
computer on the same line.
If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the
MFC takes over the call, then hang up. (See Easy
Receive on page 5-4.)
