Receiving Faxes
Select Answer Mode
Manual—You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, press Start to
begin receiving the fax, then hang up. You can use this mode with Distinctive Ringing.
Fax Only—The FAX/MFC automatically answers every call as a fax call. You
cannot receive a voice call, but you can dial out and make a voice call.
F/T—The FAX/MFC automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax, it prints
the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with a double ring (ring-ring),
different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you
select this setting, you’ll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features
(on the following pages). If you have extension phones on the same line as the
FAX/MFC, set Ring Delay to 4.

Record Fax/Tel Outgoing Announcement

This is the announcement played by your FAX/MFC (not an external TAD) when

announcement, they cannot leave a message.  To erase the announcement, follow
the directions on page 62, “Erasing Outgoing Message”.

Easy Receive
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you answer a fax
call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When
you see “RECEIVE” on the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the
handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the
handset, and the FAX/MFC does the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to
receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension 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 
Start or by pressing  5 1 if you are not at the FAX/MFC.

Setting F/T Ring Time
You must determine how long the FAX/MFC will notify you with 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.

Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to F/T Mode, all phones on this
line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.
You can let the FAX/MFC pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax
call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine signals you with a
double ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.
Even if the caller hangs up during the double ringing, the FAX/MFC continues for
the set time.

Setting Paper Size
You can use three sizes of paper for printing your faxes—letter, legal, and A4.

incoming fax on the page. You can also select the level of page reduction to fit the
paper in your FAX/MFC.

							Making Voice Calls
You can use your FAX/MFC to make voice telephone calls, by dialing manually or
by using One Touch or Speed Dial memory.  You can use the handset or the
Speaker Phone to make and receive calls.  The Speaker Phone allows you to
operate the phone hands-free, or allows more than one person in the room to
participate in a two-way phone conversation.  When using the Speaker Phone,
make sure to speak clearly and close to the microphone.
Manual Dialing
Manual dialing is simply pressing all of the digits of the Phone number.
1Pick up the handset—OR—Press Speaker Phone.
2When you hear a dial tone, dial the call, using the dial pad.
3You can switch from handset to Speaker Phone by pressing Speaker Phone,
then replacing the handset. You can switch from Speaker Phone to handset
by lifting the handset.
4To hang up, replace the handset—OR—Press Speaker Phone.
Answering Calls with the Speaker Phone
When the phone rings, instead of lifting the handset, press Speaker Phone. Speak
clearly, toward the microphone. To end the call, press 
Speaker Phone.
If you have a bad telephone line connection, the other party might hear your
voice echoed during the call. Hang up and try the call again—OR—Pick up the
handset.
