Setting up to receive faxes
Selecting the receiving mode ___________________
Before you set up the receiving mode on your FAXPHONE, you should determine how you plan to use your FAXPHONE: � Are you able to dedicate the use of one telephone line to the FAXPHONE only to receive document transmissions from other fax machines? If yes, choose Fax Only Mode (see below). � Do you want to use your FAXPHONE as both a telephone and fax, receiving documents automatically and ringing only for telephone calls? If yes, choose Fax/Tel Mode (see below). � Do you want to use your FAXPHONE mainly as a telephone, and answer every call yourself, whether from a person or a fax unit? If yes, choose Manual Mode (see below). � Do you want to connect an answering machine to your FAXPHONE and receive the other party�s document and also record the other party�s message? If yes, choose Ans. Machine mode (see below). � Can you use the Distinctive Ring Pattern (DRP) service offered by your telephone company allowing you to have separate numbers for telephone and fax using only one phone line? If yes, use the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature (see below). How you answer these questions will determine which receiving method you choose. If you are not satisfied with the mode you select, you can always change it at any time.

s Fax Only Mode (See p. 16)
You may want to use this mode if you have two phone lines in your office, and plan to use one line for the FAXPHONE and the other line for your telephone. Set the Fax Only Mode if you want to use your FAXPHONE only to receive faxes automatically and do not intend to use it as a telephone.

s Fax/Tel Mode (See p. 17)
If you only have one phone line in your office, you may be planning to use it for both fax and telephone communication. By setting this mode, you will be able to use your FAXPHONE for both fax and telephone communication using only one phone line. You will need to have an extension phone connected to the FAXPHONE so that when it rings to alert you of a call, you can answer the call. The FAXPHONE will automatically receive faxes without ringing.

s Manual Mode (See p. 18)
Use Manual Mode if you receive more telephone calls than faxes. By having telephone connected to your FAXPHONE, you can answer every call, whether from a person or from another fax unit. If you hear a slow beep, simply press [START/COPY] on your FAXPHONE and hang up the phone to receive the fax.

s Ans. Machine Mode (See p. 19)
Use Ans. Machine Mode if you have an answering machine connected to the FAXPHONE. This mode allows you to receive not only documents sent from other fax machines, but also messages from people calling when you are out.
