Operation from external or
extension telephones 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine through
the T-piece connection, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation code. When you press the Remote
Activation code l51 the machine starts to
receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on the line:
You should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
Touchscreen shows Receiving, and then
hang up.
NOTE
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatically take the
call (see Fax Detect on page 47).
For Fax/Tel mode only 7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (fast double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and
then press Pickup to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 between the fast
double-rings. If no one is on the line, or if
someone wants to send you a fax, send the
call back to the machine by pressing l51.
