In Manual mode, if you connect a telephone to your machine, you can receive voice calls as well as manually
activate reception of faxes. You can activate reception from the machine or from the telephone connected to the
machine (this is called

Remote receiving).

• For this mode, you need to connect a telephone to your machine. (

→ p. 1-4)

• Make sure there are no documents in the ADF.
• Make sure the REMOTE RX setting is enabled. (

→ p. 9-7)

• If your telephone line uses rotary pulse and the telephone connected to the machine cannot be switched

to tone dialing, you cannot activate Remote receiving.

• If the telephone is located away from your

machine, dial 25 (the remote receiving ID)
on your telephone and hang up. When your
telephone line uses rotary pulse, switch to
tone dialing on your telephone before

• If you have an answering machine

connected to your machine that can carry
out remote-control operations (controlling
your answering machine from a remote
telephone), the security code for this
function may be the same as the remote
receiving ID. If so, make sure you change
the machine’s remote receiving ID to make
it distinct from the answering machine’s
security code. (
