Using receive modes 5
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 uu page 32.)
Fax Only 5
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel 5
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognising
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.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
uu page 32 and Ring Delay uu page 32.)

answering functions unless you are using the

Start, and then press 2 to receive a fax. You
can also use the Fax Detect feature to receive
faxes by lifting a handset on the same line as
the machine.

answering device manage your incoming
calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in the
