Receiving a Fax About Receiving Modes • In Fax mode, the machine answers an incoming fax call and immediately goes into the fax reception mode. • In Tel mode, you can receive a fax by pressing On Hook Dial (you can hear a fax tone from the sending machine) and then pressing Start on the control panel of your machine. You can also pick up the handset of the extension phone and then press the receive start code (see page 7.4). • 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 Fax mode. • 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. For further details, see page 7.17. When your machine's memory is full, the receiving mode automatically switches to Tel. For details about changing the receiving mode, see page 7.3. NOTES: • To use the Ans/Fax mode, attach an answering machine to the EXT jack on the back of your machine. • If you do not want other people to view your received documents, you can use Secure Receiving mode. In this mode, all of the received faxes are stored in memory. For further details, see page 7.34. 7.14 FAXING
