Basic receiving operations (FAX-1940CN only) Choosing the Receive Mode There are four different Receive Modes for your machine. You can choose the mode that best suits your needs. (See Message Center mode on page 7-1 to set up the MC:Msg. Ctr. mode.) LCD Fax Only (automatic receive) Fax/Tel (fax and telephone) Manual (manual receive) (with Distinctive Ring) MC:Msg. Ctr. How it works The machine automatically answers every call as a fax. The machine controls the line and automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax it will receive the fax. If the call is not a fax it will ring (pseudo/double ring) for you to pick up the call. You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself. The built-in digital Message Center answers voice calls and automatically receives faxes. When to use it For dedicated fax lines. Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax messages and few telephone calls. You cannot have an answering machine on the same line, even if it is on a separate wall jack on the same line. You cannot use the telephone company's Voice Mail in this mode. Use this mode if you do not receive many fax messages, have an external TAD connected to the machine, use Distinctive Ring, or if you are using a computer modem on the same phone line. If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call, then hang up. (See Easy Receive (FAX-1840C and FAX-1940CN only) on page 4-9.) -OR- Make sure Easy Receive is set to On. (See Easy Receive (FAX-1840C and FAX-1940CN only) on page 4-9.) Use this mode to record voice messages in the machine's memory. (For details, see Message Center mode on page 7-1.)
