    Using receive modes6
    Some receive modes answer automatically 
    ( Fax Only  and Fax/Tel ). You may want to 
    change the ring delay before using these 
    modes. (See  Ring Delay on page 51.)
    Fax only6
    Fax only mode will automatically answer 
    every call as a fax call.
    Fax/Tel6
    Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically 
    manage incoming calls, by recognizing 
    whether they are fax or voice calls and 
    dealing with them in one of the following 
    ways:
    „ Faxes will be automatically received.
    „ Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you 
    to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast 
    double ring made by your machine.
    (Also see  F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)  
    on page 51 and  Ring Delay on page 51.)
    Manual6
    To receive a fax in manual mode lift the 
    handset of an external telephone. When you 
    hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press 
    Mono Start  or Colour Start  and choose 
    Receive . You can also use the Fax Detect 
    feature to receive faxes by lifting a handset on 
    the same line as the machine.
    (Also see  Fax Detect  on page 52.)
    External TAD6
    External TAD mode lets an external 
    answering device manage your incoming 
    calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in one 
    of the following ways:
    „ Faxes will be automatically received.
    „ Voice callers can record a message on the 
    external TAD.
    (For more information see  Connecting an 
    external TAD (telephone answering device)  
    on page 71.)
    Note
    • When changing your Receive Mode, if the  message appears  DR Mode in Use , 
    please go to page 65 to turn Distinctive 
    Ring Off. Then return to change your 
    receive mode.
    • Do not turn off Distinctive Ring if you are  subscribed to FaxStream
    ® Duet®.

    Ring Delay6
    The Ring Delay sets the number of times the 
    machine rings before it answers in  Fax Only 
    or  Fax/Tel  mode. If you have external or 
    extension telephones on the same line as the 
    machine choose the maximum number of 
    rings.
    (See  Operation from extension telephones  
    on page 73 and  Fax Detect on page 52.)
    aPress Menu.
    bPress  aor b to choose  Fax.
    Press  OK.
    cPress  aor b to choose 
    Setup Receive .
    Press  OK.
    dPress  aor b to choose  Ring Delay .
    ePress dor c to choose how many times 
    the line rings before the machine 
    answers ( 2-10  for Australia,  1-10  for 
    New Zealand,  0-10  for some countries).
    Press  OK.
    If you choose  0, the line will not ring at 
    all.
    fPress  Stop/Exit .
    F/T Ring Time 
    (Fax/Tel mode only)6
    When somebody calls your machine, you and 
    your caller will hear the normal telephone ring 
    sound. The number of rings is set by the ring 
    delay setting. 
    If the call is a fax, then your machine will 
    receive it; however, if it is a voice call the 
    machine will sound the F/T ring (a fast 
    double-ring) for the time you have set in the 
    F/T ring time setting. If you hear the F/T ring 
    it means that you have a voice caller on the 
    line.
    Because the F/T ring is made by the machine, 
    extension and external telephones will  not 
    ring; however, you can still answer the call on 
    any telephone. (For more information see 
    Using remote codes  on page 73.)

    countries, 20, 30, 40 or 55 seconds for 
    New Zealand).
    Press  OK.
    fPress  Stop/Exit .
    Note
    Even if the caller hangs up during the 
    pseudo/double-ringing, the machine will 
    continue to ring for the set time.

    fax6
    If you choose  On, the machine automatically 
    reduces each page of an incoming fax to fit on 
    one page of A4, Letter or Legal size paper. 
    The machine calculates the reduction ratio by

    Setting Receiving Priority6
    If a A3 Colour fax is sent to your machine, your machine will receive either a A3 mono fax or a A4 
    Colour fax depending on the Receiving Priority setting. If you choose  Mono(Max.A3), you will 
    receive a A3 mono fax. If you choose  Colour(Max.A4), you will receive a A4 Colour fax.

    PC Fax Receive6
    If you turn on the PC-Fax Receive feature 
    your machine will store received faxes in 
    memory and send them to your PC 
    automatically. You can then use your PC to 
    view and store these faxes.
    Even if you have turned off your PC (at night 
    or on the weekend, for example), your 
    machine will receive and store your faxes in 
    its memory. The number of received faxes 
    that are stored in the memory will appear at 
    the bottom left side of the LCD.
    When you start your PC and the PC-FAX 
    Receiving software runs, your machine 
    transfers your faxes to your PC automatically.
    To transfer the received faxes to your PC you 
    must have the PC-FAX Receiving software 
    running on your PC. (For details, see  PC-FAX 
    receiving  in the Software User’s Guide on the 
    CD-ROM.)

    software on your PC. Make sure your PC 
    is connected and turned on. (For details 
    see  PC-FAX receiving  in the Software 
    User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.)
    • In the event of a power failure, the  machine will store your faxes in the 
    memory for approximately 24 hours. 
    However, if you choose 
    Backup Print:On  the machine will print 
    the fax, so you will have a copy if there is 
    a power failure before it is sent to the PC.
    • If you get an error message and the  machine cannot print the faxes in memory, 
    you can use this setting to transfer your 
    faxes to your PC. (For details, see  Error 
    and Maintenance messages
