Other Features of this Fax Automatically Switching Between the Fax and an Answering Machine (TAD Reception) This reception mode is convenient for using a separately purchased telephone with answering machine capabilities together with this fax. If an incoming call is from a fax machine, fax reception will begin automatically. If the call is from a telephone, the functions of the answering machine will engage, so, even if you cannot answer, the caller will be able to leave a message. [Reception flow] Notes • TAD reception is only possible if a separately purchased telephone with answering machine capabilities is connected to this fax machine. • Refer to the Instruction Manual for the telephone in use for details on recording and listening to messages, etc. • BE SURE that the number of times your answering machine is set to ring is LESS than the number of times the fax is set to ring. You can set the number of times the fax will ring. (See Setting the Number of Rings [TAD Reception] ("Number of Rings" setting) on page 7-5.) • If you have selected TAD reception as the current reception mode, MAKE SURE that, in the first minute after the telephone answers the incoming call, there are no silent pauses of 9 seconds or more [6 seconds or more for metric versions] in either the message you record or the message you receive. If there is such a pause, the silence detection function of this fax will be activated and the fax machine will switch to fax reception. l Preparation Open the cover plate to the left and press the TAD/Manual RX key to light the TAD indicator. 5-3
