Each model is different.

Usually "answer mode" will be that the fax will pick up the phone line after a certain number of rings.

If this feature is not enabled, it will not pick up the phone (a fax would need to be received manually by pressing the "receive" button when the phone is ringing).

If the feature is enabled, it will pick up the phone line after a designated number of rings (be sure to be aware of any conflicting systems like voicemail that either will pick up before the fax or won't answer if the fax picks up before it).

Do most fax machines generate a cng tone?

reference: ftp://ftp.faximum.com/pub/faqs/fax/fax-faq unfortunately CNG tones are only required if the fax machine is working in 'autmoatic mode'. If a person is manually faxing the standards do not require a CNG tone to be generated by the fax machine. This causes problems for some voice+fax services that rely on detecting the fax tone to switch their system to fax recipt mode.

What does sleep on the fax machine mean?

It depends on the model. Usually, it means go into low power mode, but wake automatically if a fax arrives. This keeps the temperature of certain parts of the machine lower (the printing can use a lot of heat, even when on standby) to keep power usage down. The drawback to this is that when a fax arrives, it takes longer to print out compared with when the machine is in non-sleep mode.


Full form of FAX machine?

Fax is a shortened version of facsimile. A facsimile machine is a combination copier-telephone system. That is, you put a document in the fax machine, enter a phone number, push a start button and the machine dials the number entered (it should be a number of another fax machine) and makes a copy of the document on the receiving fax machine. Fax machines are currently becoming obsolete because most computer printers are also scanners that can put a document placed on it directly into a computer file that can be sent to another party via email.
