Advanced Receiving Operations
Operation from Extension Telephone
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone (or on an external phone in the
EXT. jack), you can make your MFC take over by using the Fax Receive Code.
When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the MFC starts to receive a fax.
(See Easy Receive, page 5-3.)
If the machine 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.
If you answer a call at an extension or external phone, and no one is on the line,
assume you’re receiving a fax. At an extension phone, press 5 1, wait for fax
receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press 5 1 and
wait for the phone to be disconnected (the LCD shows
RECEIVING ) before
you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Fax Start to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call. If you’re at the machine, 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 machine by
pressing 5 1.
Changing the Fax Receive Code
The preset Fax Receive Code ( 5 1) may not work with some telephone
systems.
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try
changing the Fax Receive Code from 5 1 to # # #.
