288 Faxing
Receiving a Fax Manually Using an External Telephone
This feature works best when you are using an external telephone connected to the phone connector ( ) on the
back of your printer. You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the external telephone without having
to go to the printer.
When you receive a call on the external telephone and hear fax tones, press the two-digit number on the external
telephone.
The printer receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try pressing the two-
digit keys once again.
The remote receive code is set to Off at the factory. You can change the two-digit number to whatever you choose.
For details on changing the code, see "Available Fax Settings Options" on page 278.
You can also receive the fax by pressing the
(Fax) button when you hear the fax tones on the external telephone.
See "Receiving a Fax Manually in the Telephone Mode" on page 287.
NOTE: Set the dialing system of your external telephone to DTMF.
Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode
The DRPD is a telephone company service which allows a user to use a single telephone line to answer several
different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you on is identified by different ringing
patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds.
Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your
telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you will need another
telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial your FAX number from outside.
To set up the DRPD:
1 Press the (Menu) button.
2 Press the button until System is highlighted, and then press the (Set) button.
3 Press the button until Admin Menu is highlighted, and then press the (Set) button.
4 Press the button until Fax Settings is highlighted, and then press the (Set) button.
5 Press the button until DRPD Pattern is highlighted, and then press the (Set) button.
6 Press the button until the desired menu item is highlighted, and then press the (Set) button.
7 To return to the previous screen, press the (Back) button.
To receive faxes in the DRPD, you need to set the menu to DRPD mode; see "Available Fax Settings Options" on
page 278.
Your printer provides seven DRPD patterns. If this service is available from your telephone company, ask your
telephone company which pattern you need to select to use this service.
Receiving Faxes in the Memory
Since your printer is a multi-tasking device, it can receive faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you
receive a fax while you are copying, printing, or run out of paper or toner, your printer stores incoming faxes in the
memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying, printing, or re-supply the consumables, the printer automatically prints
the fax.
Polling Receive
You can receive faxes from the remote fax machine when you want to receive it.
