Advanced Receiving Operations
Operation from Extension Telephones
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 6-3.)
If the MFC 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.
(See Setting F/T Ring Time , page 6-3.)
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At
the MFC phone press
Black Fax Start , and then hang up. At an extension
phone, press 5 1 , wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), and then hang up. At
an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected before
you hang up (the LCD shows RECEIVING ). (Your caller will have to press
Black Fax Start to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the MFC is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double-
ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the MFC, 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 MFC by
pressing
5 1 .
Using a Cordless External Handset
If your cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the MFC and you
typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay. If you let the MFC answer first, you will have to answer using
the cordless and then go to the MFC so you can press
Hook/Hold to transfer
the call to the cordless handset.
Changing the Remote Codes
Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax
Receive Code is
5 1 . The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1 .
Note
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely,
try changing the Fax Receive Code from
5 1 to # # # and the Telephone
Answer Code from # 5 1 to 9 9 9 .
