Receiving a Fax in FAX/TEL Mode

When the reception mode is set to FAX/TEL mode, the machine receives a fax automatically if the incoming call is a fax call and rings when it receives voice calls.

  1. When there is an incoming call, the machine tries for five seconds to detect a fax calling tone.

    If a fax calling tone is detected, the machine starts to receive the fax automatically.

  2. If a fax calling tone is not detected, the machine starts to ring, and continues to try to detect a fax calling tone for the period of time specified in [F/T Ring Time] under [Fax Settings].

    • If a fax calling tone is detected, or if you do not pick up the handset, the machine starts to receive the fax automatically.

    • To start a normal telephone call, pick up the handset, press the [Facsimile] key, and then press the [Clear/Stop] key. If you hear a fax calling tone or no sound, receive the fax manually.

    • If you pick up the handset but the time specified in [F/T Ring Time] passes before a normal telephone call starts, the machine starts to receive the fax automatically.

    • After you pick up the handset to answer a call, make sure to press the [Facsimile] key to activate fax mode before pressing the [Clear/Stop] key does not start a normal telephone call.
