Advanced Receiving Operations
Operation from External or Extension Telephone
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT.
jack, you can make your fax machine take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When
you press the Fax Receive Code
5 1, the fax machine starts to receive a fax.
(See Easy Receive, page 5-4.)
If the fax machine 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 5-3.)
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the fax
machine phone, press Fax Start, then hang up. At an extension phone, press
5 1,
wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press
5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the LCD shows RECEIVE ) before
you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Fax Start to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the fax machine 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 fax machine, 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 fax machine by pressing
5 1.
