Manual Receive Mode

telephone calls coming in on the same line as fax messages. However, your fax
machine cannot automatically receive fax messages; you have to be by the
machine if a fax message comes in.

1. The machine rings continuously until you answer the call. Pick up the handset.
2. If you hear a voice from the other end, speak in reply.
If you hear a tone every few seconds, the other end is a fax terminal.
Note: Remove any documents that are in the feeder.
3. If the person at the other end wishes to send you a fax message,
press
Start to receive the message. Then hang up the handset.
