Introduction
&
Your UTAX FAX 320 has three distinct operating modes, which are described below:
• automatic mode with TAD: your machine answers all calls and records incoming messages,
• automatic mode without TAD: your machine sorts incoming calls before presenting them to you,
• manual mode: your fax machine never answers any calls automatically.
❑ In each of these three modes, you may pick up the handset at any time:
• when receiving a fax call, you can switch your fax machine to the fax reception mode by pressing the
key,
• when receiving a voice call, talk with the caller as you would on the phone.
+ Press the key once or repeatedly depending on the required reception mode: the icons
corresponding to each mode are blanked (function off) or displayed (function on), as shown in the
following three sections.

Your unit works like a telephone answering device combined with a fax machine. Select that mode when you
go out or if you do not want to lose any fax or voice calls.
When your machine rings, it answers after a couple of rings and plays the greeting message you have recorded
on your TAD:
• if the call is a fax call, it automatically switches to the fax reception mode,
• if the call is a voice call, the caller will be able to leave a message on your TAD.
❑ You can set the number of rings before your machine automatically answers
(please refer to § Number of rings for the auto mode on page 15).

In that case, it will play the greeting message).
