# Receiving a fax in FAX/TEL Automatic mode

When the reception mode is set to FAX/TEL Automatic mode, the machine receives a fax automatically if the incoming call is a fax call and rings when it receives voice calls.

1. When there is an incoming call, the machine tries to detect a fax calling tone for five seconds.

   If a fax calling tone is detected, the machine starts to receive the fax automatically.

2. If a fax calling tone is not detected, the machine starts to ring, and continues to try to detect a fax calling tone for the period of time specified in [RX Mode Auto Switch Time] under [Fax Features].

   - If a fax calling tone is detected, or if you do not pick up the handset, the machine starts to receive the fax automatically.

   - To start a normal telephone call, pick up the handset, press the [Facsimile] key, and then press the [Clear/Stop] key. If you hear a fax calling tone or no sound, receive the fax manually.

   - If you pick up the handset but the time specified in [RX Mode Auto Switch Time] passes before a normal telephone call starts, the machine starts to receive the fax automatically.

- After you pick up the handset to answer a call, make sure to press the [Facsimile] key to activate fax mode before pressing the [Clear/Stop] key. If the machine is not in fax mode, pressing the [Clear/Stop] key will not let you start a normal telephone call.

- For details about [RX Mode Auto Switch Time], see Fax Feature Settings.
