receptions?

turned on with an outgoing message properly recorded.
Q Is the sending fax machine able to send the CNG signal that tells the machine
that the incoming signal is a fax?

incoming call is a fax.
In such cases, you will have to receive the fax manually. (See “Receiving Faxes
Manually: Manual Mode,” on p. 5-7.)

handset. Otherwise you will disconnect the call.

A The sending fax machine usually determines the fax's quality. Call the sender
and have them make sure the scanning glass of their fax machine is clean.
