4 - 3 SETUP RECEIVE
Basic receiving operations
(FAX-1940CN only)
Choosing the Receive Mode
There are four different Receive Modes for your machine. You can
choose the mode that best suits your needs. (See Message Center
mode on page 7-1 to set up the
MC:Msg. Ctr.
mode.)
LCD How it works When to use it
Fax Only
(automatic receive)
The machine
automatically answers
every call as a fax.
For dedicated fax lines.
Fax/Tel
(fax and telephone)
The machine 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
(pseudo/double ring) for
you to pick up the call.
Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax
messages and few telephone calls. You cannot
have an answering machine on the same line, even
if it is on a separate wall jack on the same line. You
cannot use the telephone company’s Voice Mail in
this mode.
Manual
(manual receive)
(with Distinctive Ring)
You control the phone
line and must answer
every call yourself.
Use this mode if you do not receive many fax
messages, have an external TAD connected to the
machine, use Distinctive Ring, or if you are using a
computer modem on the same phone line.
If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the
machine takes over the call, then hang up.
(See Easy Receive (FAX-1840C and FAX-1940CN
only) on page 4-9.)

Make sure Easy Receive is set to On. (See
Easy
Receive (FAX-1840C and FAX-1940CN only) on
page 4-9.)
MC:Msg. Ctr. The built-in digital
Message Center

faxes.

machine’s memory. (For details, see

Center mode on page 7-1.)
