Setting the answer mode

Depending on your situation, you can set the device answer mode to Automatic or Manual.

The factory-set default is Automatic.

Automatic: In this answer mode, the device answers incoming calls after a specified

number of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones. To specify the number of rings,

see

Changing the rings-to-answer setting

.

Manual: In this answer mode, the device never answers calls. You must start the fax-

receiving process yourself, either by pressing

FAX

/

SEND

on the control panel or by picking

up a telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3 (in tone-dial mode only).

Note

Although most users leave the answer mode set to Automatic, voice callers who dial the fax

telephone number will hear fax tones if the telephone is not answered, or if they do not hang

up by the specified number of rings-to-answer. If you do not want voice callers to hear fax

tones, use the Manual setting. But remember that fax calls are not received automatically

when the mode is set to Manual.
