Set the answer mode
Depending on the situation, set the product answer mode to Automatic or Manual. The factory-set default is Automatic.
| ●
|
| Automatic: In this answer mode, the product answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones. To specify the number of rings, see Set the number of rings-to-answer.
|
|
| ●
|
| TAM: In this answer mode, the product has a telephone answering machine (TAM) attached to the line-out port. The product does not answer incoming calls, but listens for fax call tones after the TAM has answered the call.
|
|
| ●
|
| Fax/Tel: In this answer mode, the product answers an incoming call and determines if the call is a voice call or fax call. If the call is a fax call, the product receives the fax from the call. If the call is a voice call, the product generates an audible ring to indicate an incoming voice call that you must answer on an extension phone.
|
|
| ●
|
| Manual: In this answer mode, the product never answers calls. You must start the fax-receiving process yourself, either by pressing Start Fax on the control panel or by picking up a telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3.
