Advanced Receiving Operations
Operation from Extension Telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the
EXT. jack, you can make your FAX/MFC take over by using the Fax Receive
Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the FAX/MFC starts to
receive a fax. (See
Easy Receive, page 5-3.)
If the FAX/MFC answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use
the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone.
(See Setting F/T Ring Time, page 5-3.)
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At
the FAX/MFC phone press Fax Start, and then hang up. At an extension
phone, press 5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), and then hang up. At
an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected before
you hang up (the LCD shows RECEIVING). (Your caller will have to press
Fax Start to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the FAX/MFC is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time
(double-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the FAX/MFC, you can
lift the handset to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T
Ring Time, and then press # 5 1 between the double-rings. If no one is on the
line or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the FAX/MFC
by pressing 5 1.
Changing the Remote Codes
Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax
Receive Code is 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1.
