Setting the Reception Mode
There are five fax reception modes: [Fax Ready Mode], [Tel/Fax Ready Mode], [Ans/Fax Ready Mode], [Tel Ready Mode], and [DRD]. The reception operation varies depending on the reception mode. When you change the fax reception mode, check the reception behavior. In reception mode other than [Fax Ready Mode], you must connect a telephone to the machine. A telephone that is connected to the machine is called an external telephone.
When a fax reception is in progress, the sender's information is displayed on the display screen. Even if the reception is complete, the [DATA IN MEMORY] indicator lights as long as the data is saved in the memory of this machine.

Change the reception mode in [Admin Setup] > [User Install].

If memory overflow occurs during data reception, the reception is canceled. In such a case, ask the sender to send the fax again.

This mode is the factory default setting. If [Fax Ready Mode] is set, the machine automatically receives faxes.
