    need to type text into the FAX/MFC. Most dial pad keys have three or four 
    letters printed above them. The keys for 0, #, and   don’t have printed letters 
    because they are used for special characters.

    and an identification of the business or other entity or other 
    individual sending the message and the telephone number of the

    Basic Receiving Operations
    Choosing the Receive Mode
    There are four different receive modes for your FAX/MFC. You may choose the 
    mode that best suits your needs by pressing Receive Mode repeatedly until the 
    LCD shows the setting you want to use.
    *In FAX/TEL mode you must set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time. If you have 
    extension phones on the line, keep the Ring Delay set to 4 rings. LCD How it works When to use it
    FAX ONLY
    (automatic receive)The FAX/MFC 
    automatically answers 
    every call as a fax.For dedicated fax lines. 
    You cannot receive a voice 
    call but you can call out.
    FAX/TEL*
    (fax/telephone)The FAX/MFC 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 
    (double-ring) for you to 
    pick up the call.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.
    TAD:ANSWER 
    MACH.
    (external telephone 
    answering device)The external TAD 
    automatically answers 
    every call. Voice messages 
    are stored on the external 
    TAD. Fax messages are 
    printed.Use this mode if you have 
    an external answering 
    machine on your phone 
    line.
    MANUAL
    (manual receive)You control the phone line 
    and must answer every call 
    yourself.Use this mode when you 
    are using a computer 
    modem on the same line or 
    if you receive very few fax 
    messages.
    You can also use this mode 
    with Distinctive Ring. 
    						
    							5 - 2   SETUP RECEIVE
    To Select or Change Your Receive Mode
    1Press Receive Mode. The LCD shows your active setting. 
    2Continue to press Receive Mode until your new selection appears. After two 
    seconds, the LCD returns to the date and time and shows the new Receive Mode. 
    Setting the Ring Delay
    The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the FAX/MFC rings 
    before it answers.  If you have extension phones on the same line as the FAX/
    MFC, keep the Ring Delay default setting of 04. (See 
    Easy Receive, page 5-3 and 
    Operation from Extension Telephones and For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5.)
    1Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 1.

    Setting the F/T Ring Time (For FAX/TEL Mode Only)
    If you set the receive mode to FAX/TEL, you’ll need to determine how long the 
    FAX/MFC will send you its special double-ring when you have a voice call.  
    This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company.  Only the 
    FAX/MFC rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds; no other phones on the same line 
    ring the special double-ring. However, you can answer the call on any extension 
    phone (in a separate wall jack) on the same line as the FAX/MFC. (See 
    Operation from Extension Telephone, page 5-5.)
    1Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 2.
    2Press  to select how long the FAX/MFC will ring to alert you that you have 
    a voice call, and then press Menu/Set.
    3Press Stop/Exit.
    Now, when a call comes in and the FAX/MFC is set to FAX/TEL mode, all 
    phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay. 
    You can let the FAX/MFC answer and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a 
    fax call, the FAX/MFC prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the FAX/MFC signals 
    you with a double-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.
    Easy Receive
    When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Fax Start when you answer 
    a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. 
    When you see RECEIVING on the LCD or when you hear “chirps” through the 
    handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the 
    handset. Your FAX/MFC does the rest. Selecting ON allows the FAX/MFC to 
    receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or 
    external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the FAX/MFC receive the call only if 
    you’ve answered it at the FAX/MFC. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to 
    activate the FAX/MFC yourself, by pressing Fax Start or by pressing   5 1 if 
    you are not at your FAX/MFC. 
    (See 
    Operation from Extension Telephones, page 5-5 and For FAX/TEL Mode Only, 
    page 5-5.)
    If you’ve set the feature to ON, but your FAX/MFC doesn’t automatically 
    connect a fax call when you lift an external or extension phone handset, press the 
    Fax Receive code   
    5 1.  At the FAX/MFC, lift the handset and then press 
    Fax Start.
    Even if the caller hangs up during the double-ringing, the FAX/MFC continues 
    for the set time.

    regardless of the size of the paper in your FAX/MFC.  ON lets the FAX/MFC 
    choose the level of reduction for you.
