Using the Printer with a Computer 29
PHONE/FAX Mode
After a certain number of rings (modifiable selecting Toolbox > Settings > Fax settings > Installation > Reception),
the printer connects to the telephone line and is able to detect if the incoming call is a fax or voice call.
In the cae of a voice call, the printer’s ring tone changes (after the default number of rings), and it rings for the time
defined by Fax/tel timer (modifiable selecting Toolbox > Settings > Fax settings > Installation > Reception), to
allow the call to be answered. If the call is not answered, it is returned to the printer. In the case of a fax call, it is
received and printed.
ANSWERING DEVICE/FAX Mode
The answering device must be connected to the printer.
In this Reception mode, the number of rings preceding intervention of the answering device (see the answering device’s
manual), must be less than that (modifiable selecting Toolbox > Settings > Fax settings > Installation > Reception)
after which the incoming call is received by the printer; in this way the answering device receives the line first. Even
when the call is answered by the answering device, the printer modem is able to recognise if it is a Voice or Fax call. In
the case of a Voice call it does not intervene, otherwise it receives and prints the fax.
Note: If an answering device is connected to the printer, the Reception mode selected must be
