RECEIVING A FAX AT AN
EXTENSION TELEPHONE
You can receive a fax from someone
you are talking to on a telephone con-
nected to the
EXT LINE jack, without
having to go to the fax machine.
1. When you hear a fax tone, press
* 9 * on the extension telephone.
The fax machine receives the doc-
uments.
2. Hang up the telephone’s handset.
Notes:
• Press the buttons slowly in
sequence. If you still hear the fax
tone from the remote machine, try
pressing
* 9 * again.
• * 9 * is the remote receive start
code preset at the factory. The
first and the last asterisks are
fixed, but you can change the mid-
dle number. For more information,
see “Setting User Options” on
Page 27.
• This feature only works from the
telephone connected to the EXT
LINE jack.
POLLING
Polling is when one fax machine re-
quests that another fax machine send
a document. This is useful when the
person with the original document is
not in the office.
The person who wants to receive the
document calls the fax machine hold-
ing the original and requests that the
document be sent. In other words, it
“polls” the fax machine holding the
original.
Notes:
• No documents should be loaded
in your machine, and the remote
machine must be ready for your
call and have the polling feature.
• Your TFX-1031 can only receive
polled documents. You cannot poll
documents from it to another fax
machine.
1. Lift the handset or press DIAL .
2. Dial the remote fax machine’s
number.
3. When you hear a fax tone from
the remote fax machine, press
CALL/POLL .
4. Your machine starts to receive the
document.
USING HELP FEATURES
You can print a help list of the fax ma-
chine’s basic functions and com-
mands to use as a quick reference
guide. You can also use the function
menu to remind you how to use a par-
ticular function.
