The correct Receive Mode for you is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services (Voice
Mail, Distinctive Ring and so on) you will be using on the same line as the Dell machine.
Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?
Dell uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but different telephone companies may have other names for this service
such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-
Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing.
Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Dell machine?
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Dell machine, there is a strong possibility that Voice
Mail and the Dell machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls.
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Dell machine?
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will answer every call automatically. Voice messages are stored
on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Select External TAD Mode as your receive mode.
Will you be using your Dell machine on a dedicated fax line?
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Select Fax Only Mode as your receive mode.
Will you be using your Dell machine on the same line as your telephone?
• Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?

Mode as your receive mode.
Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine if you
selected the Fax/Tel Mode.
• Do you expect to receive very few faxes?

yourself.
