Receiving a Fax About Reception Modes Your machine has four reception modes: • In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive mode. • In AUTO mode, the machine answers an incoming call expecting to receive a fax. If the machine does not sense a fax signal, it will continue to sound the ringing tone to tell you it is a phone call. If you do not lift the handset of the extension telephone during the ringing, the machine will switch to automatic fax reception mode. • In ANS/FAX mode, the answering machine answers an incoming call, and the caller can leave a message on the answering machine. If the fax machine senses a fax tone on the line, the call automatically switches to the fax machine. Note: To use the ANS/FAX mode, attach an answering machine to the EXT. jack on the back of your machine (see page A.1). • In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. If you pick up the extension telephone and hear fax tones, you can receive a fax by pressing Start/Enter on the front panel of your machine. • In DRPD mode, you can receive a call using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature. "Distinctive Ring" is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. This mode is displayed when you have set up the distinctive ring pattern. For details on this feature, see page 2.6. 2.12 Stand-alone Fax
