Hi slickkitty
Only one press for each display,
When you press the FAX RECEIVE MODE button, the display should change each time you press. eg: AUTO, FAX ONLY
When you see the FAX ONLY, press the SET button and leave it like that. Don't try to do it when the fax rings. Do it when the fax machine is idle.

Check if the machine is set on automatic recieve.
When on manual recieve, you'll have to start recieving manualy by pressing the button.

You need to set the machine up to AutoAnswer as follows per HP:

Receiving faxes automatically If the Auto Answer option is set to On , the unit automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes after the number of rings specified by the Rings to Answer setting. Press Auto Answer to turn on the Auto Answer option. 1: Setting the Auto Answer option

1. 1 - Auto Answer button
   NOTE: The Auto Answer button is lit when the Auto Answer option is turned on.
2. Press Auto Answer again to turn off the Auto Answer option.

First make sure that the fax button has been pushed and is llit...

The 2820 should have a handset. In order to use manual transmission (when you get to hear all the beeps and whistles) you will need to load the document then pick up the handset. then dial the number, when you hear the recieving fax tone then hit the start button.

The 2820 should also have a hook hold button pressing this will allow you to hear the dial tone and the numbers you dial along with the receiving fax tone. If you dont hear anything when you press this button then you may want to use the volume buttons to increase the volume.

Also remember that if you have not picked up the handset or pressed he hook/hold button the unit will use automatic mode, which is to say that all you will do is load the document, dial the number, and then press the start button.

you have to set machine for fax mode by pressing auto answer button on key pad of machine. then you have received faxes automatically.
