Using extension telephones
7
If you answer a fax call at an extension
telephone, you can make your machine
receive the fax by pressing the Fax Receive
Code l51.
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at an extension telephone by
pressing the Telephone Answer Code #51
(see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 47).
Using an external telephone
(Connected to the EXT. jack of the
machine)

If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone connected to the EXT. jack of the
machine, you can make the machine receive
the fax by pressing Fax Start and choosing
Receive.
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at the external telephone by
pressing Pickup.
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
7
You should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
Touchscreen displays Receiving, and then
hang up.
NOTE
You can also use the Easy Receive
feature to make your machine
automatically take the call (see Easy
Receive on page 48).
Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset
7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the
machine(see page 59) and you typically carry
the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to
answer calls during the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you must
go to the machine so you can press Pickup
to transfer the call to the cordless handset.
