• The machine then begins receiving the document. (This is particularly convenient if your telephone is located away from the machine.) • If you do not hang up after pressing [Start] or the two-digit ID code, the machine beeps intermittently after you receive the document. (You can turn the beeping off by disabling the in the menu. See p. 15-7 for details.) NOTE If you have an answering machine connected to your machine that can carry out remote-control operations (controlling your answering machine from a remote telephone), the security code for this function may be the same as the two-digit ID code described above. If so, make sure you change the machine two-digit ID code to make it distinct from the answering machine's security code. See p. 15-11 for details on changing the code ( setting). Receiving Faxes Automatically: FaxOnly Mode When the machine is set up for a dedicated line, set FaxOnly Mode to automatically receive documents whenever a call comes over the fax line. • The machine assumes all incoming calls are from fax machines sending documents. It receives the documents automatically and disconnects all voice calls. • In FaxOnly Mode, you can control whether or not the machine rings when it receives a fax call. To set this option from the machine operation panel, see p. 15-10 ( setting). Using an Answering Machine: AnsMode Connecting an answering machine to the machine allows you to receive faxes and phone messages while you are out of 7 the office. Using the Machine With an Answering Machine Follow these guidelines when using the machine with an answering machine: • Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring. • If the machine runs out of paper or toner in AnsMode, it receives all faxes into memory. The faxes then print automatically when you add paper or replace the toner cartridge. • When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine: - The entire message must be no more than 15 seconds long. - In the message, tell your callers how to send a fax. For example: "Hello. I can't answer the phone right now. If you would like to send a fax, press the start button on your fax machine. Thank you." Receiving with a DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) service: DRPD DRPD service assigns two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a single telephone line, allowing you to have both a fax number(s) and a telephone number(s) using only one telephone line. Your fax will automatically monitor incoming calls and based on the ring pattern, will let you know if the call is a fax or voice call. Set the fax ring pattern that matches the pattern assigned by your telephone company. NOTE Contact your local telephone company for detailed information on this service.
