Reception Modes When used as a Stand Alone fax machine, your multi-function machine has four reception modes as described below: n FAX The machine answers an incoming call and immediately goes into fax receive mode. n TEL/FAX The machine answers the incoming call. If a fax signal is not detected, the WorkCentre 385 sounds a ringing tone to indicate a voice phone call. If the external phone is not lifted while the ringing tone is sounding, the machine will switch to automatic fax reception mode. n ANS/FAX To use the ANS/FAX mode, you have to attach an answering machine to the EXT. LINE socket on your fax machine. If the WorkCentre 385 senses a fax tone, it automatically switches to fax reception mode. However, if a fax is not sensed, the WorkCentre 385 routes the call to the answering machine, and the caller can leave a message. n TEL In TEL mode, automatic fax reception is turned off. You can receive a fax only by manually picking up the external phone to accept the call and pressing Start to receive the fax. Determining the Reception Mode The current reception mode is displayed in the bottom line of the LCD display window.
