Receiving Automatically in the Fax Mode

Your printer is preset to the fax mode at the factory.

When you receive a fax, the printer answers the call on a specified number of rings and automatically
receives the fax.

To change the number of rings, see "Available Fax Defaults Options" .

If you want to adjust the ringer volume, see "Setting Sounds" .

Receiving Manually in the Tel Mode

You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the extension phone and then pressing the remote
receive code (see "Receive Code" ), or by accessing Fax

On Hook Dial

Yes when the bell is ringing

(you can hear voice or fax tones from the remote printer) and then pressing Start (

) on the

operator panel.

The printer begins receiving a fax and returns to Standby mode when the reception is completed.

Receiving Automatically in the Ans/Fax Mode

If you are using an answering machine in this mode, attach it to the extension telephone socket (

) on the

back of your printer.

If your printer does not detect a fax tone , the answering machine will take the call. If your printer detects a
fax tone
, it automatically initiates reception of the fax.

NOTE:

If you have set your printer to Ans/Fax mode and your answering machine is

switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your machine, your printer
may automatically go into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.

Receiving Manually Using an Extension Telephone

This features works best when you are using an extension telephone connected to the extension telephone
socket (

) on the back of your printer. You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the

extension telephone without having to go to the fax machine.

When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the keys *9* (star nine star) on
the extension telephone.

The printer receives the document.

Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote printer, try pressing *9*
once again.

*9* is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can
change the middle number to whatever you choose. The code should be one digit. For details on changing
the code, see "Available Fax Defaults Options" .
