Xerox 480cx - Manual (Page 138)

4-6 Receiving a Fax
Note: The characters * 9 * (star-nine-star) are preset at the factory as the
default remote receive start code for machines operated with a telephone
connected to the EXT jack on the side of the WorkCentre. The asterisks in
the code are fixed characters, but the number can be changed. For more
information, see
Selectable Options on page 1-52.
4 Replace the external phone. The machine begins receiving and returns
to Standby mode when reception is complete.
Receiving Automatically in ANS/FAX Mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT jack
on the left side of your machine.
1 Press the Receive button until the display indicates ANS/FAX. Any
incoming voice calls will be answered by the answering machine. The
caller can then leave a message on the answering machine.
2 If a fax tone is detected on the line, the fax receive mode is
automatically activated.
Note: If you set your machine to ANS/FAX mode and your answering
machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to the Xerox
WorkCentre 480cx, the machine will automatically go into fax receive mode
after six rings.
If your answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set it to
answer incoming calls after one ring.
If the machine is in TEL mode, and an answering machine is connected to
the machine, turn off the answering machine. This will prevent the
answering machine’s outgoing message from interrupting your phone
conversation.
