There are four different receive modes for your MFC.  You can choose the mode 
that best suits your needs by pressing 

 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, set the Ring Delay to 4 rings.

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.

FAX ONLY
(automatic receive)

The 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 and telephone)

The 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 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 answering 
machine on your 
phone line.
