Receiving Manually in the Tel Mode

You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the extension phone and then pressing the
remote receive code (see "Receive Code"), or by accessing Fax

On Hook Dial

when the bell

is ringing (you can hear voice or fax tones from the remote printer) and then pressing Start ( ) on
the operator panel.

The printer begins receiving a fax and returns to Standby mode when the reception is completed.

Receiving Automatically in the Ans/Fax Mode

If you are using an answering machine in this mode, attach it to the extension telephone socket
(

) on the back of your printer.

If your printer does not detect a fax tone, the answering machine will take the call. If your printer
detects a fax tone, it automatically initiates reception of the fax.

NOTE:

If you have set your printer to Ans/Fax mode and your answering machine is switched off,

or no answering machine is connected to your machine, your printer may automatically go into Fax
mode after a predefined number of rings.

Receiving Manually Using an Extension Telephone

This features works best when you are using an extension telephone connected to the extension
telephone socket (

) on the back of your printer. You can receive a fax from someone you are

talking to on the extension telephone without having to go to the fax machine.

When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the keys *9* (star nine
star) on the extension telephone.

The printer receives the document.

Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote printer, try
pressing *9* once again.

*9* is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the last asterisks are fixed, but
you can change the middle number to whatever you choose. The code should be one digit. For
details on changing the code, see "Available Fax Defaults Options".

Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode

“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables 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, available in combinations of long and short
ringing sounds.
