Receiving a Fax Using receive modes 6 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 on page 48.) Fax only 6 Fax only mode will automatically answer every call as a fax call. Fax/Tel 6 Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically manage incoming calls, by recognizing whether they are fax or voice calls and handling 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 pseudo/double-ring made by your machine. (Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 48 and Ring Delay on page 48.) Manual 6 Manual mode turns off all automatic answering functions unless you are using the Distinctive Ring feature or an external telephone answering device (TAD). To receive a fax in manual mode lift the handset of the machine or an external telephone. When you hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press Black Start or Color Start. You can also use the Easy Receive feature to receive faxes by lifting a handset on the same line as the machine. (Also see Easy Receive on page 49.) Message Center (MC) 6 Message Center (MC) helps you automatically manage incoming calls, by recognizing whether they are fax or voice calls and handling them in one of the following ways: „ Faxes will be automatically received. „ Voice callers can record a message. To set up the Message Center mode see page 83. If Message Center Mode is On, it will override your receive mode setting. The screen shows MC. If Message Center Mode is Off, the 6 receive mode returns to your original setting. (See Message Center mode on page 83.) 47
