Yes. Read your manual. Your particular machine may have some settings you can adjust for different masks. My Respironics M Series does not.

Cheers,

You can use just about any mask w/just about any of the xPAPs. Certainly all that I know of. The Resmeds do have some Mask Selection settings where if you use a Resmed mask it will figure your Leak rate for you whereas if you use a non-Resmed mask or use one of the other brands, including Respironics, you always have to do the math to figure your Leak rate yourself.

That's funny, since Respironics makes an excellent pillows mask (the OptiLife) that I'm currently using with my APAP. You'd think if they were going to recommend a specific mask, it would be their own.
