    NOTE
    • The machine can print received fax documents on A4 or Letter size paper. If received fax documents are printed on other paper sizes, a portion of the page may not be printed or a page may be printed on two separate sheets of paper.

    Methods for Receiving Faxes
    The machine provides the following receiving methods. Select the method that best suits your needs and then set it up by following the procedure.

    The machine receives the fax automatically.

    When the call is a telephone call

    <Answering Machine>
    When the call is a fax
    After an incoming call rings, the machine receives the fax automatically.

    When the call is a telephone call
    The answering machine activates, enabling the caller to leave a message. If you pick up the handset before the answering machine starts recording a message, you can talk with the caller.

    NOTE
    • You need to connect your answering machine to the machine beforehand.
    • Set the answering machine to answer after a few rings.
    • We recommend that you add approximately 4 seconds of silence at the beginning of the message or set the maximum recording time to 20 seconds.

    <Net Switch>
    The machine distinguishes between fax and telephone calls. This mode is only available for Australia and New Zealand and requires a subscription to a network switch service.

    NOTE
    • You need to connect your telephone or the optional handset to the machine beforehand.

    Telstra FaxStream. Duet (Only for Australia)
    In Australia, Telstra offers the FaxStream. Duet capability. This service assigns two numbers to a single telephone line: one for faxes and one for telephone calls. When the fax number is called, the network sends a specific ringing tone which your machine recognizes and automatically handles as a fax call. If the telephone number is called, a different ringing tone is sent out from the network so that the call is handled as a telephone call. This means that there is no switching delay at the caller's end. Contact Telstra for connection information.
  • Triple ring (short-short-short) for fax receiving.

  • Three short rings, at regular intervals.
  • Any ring except triple ring (depending on your switchboard) for telephone conversation.

  • NOTE
    • You need to subscribe to the FaxStream service beforehand.
