Operation from External or Extension Telephone

If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the FAX/MFC phone, press 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 screen displays RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the FAX/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 FAX/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 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/MFC by pressing 
5 1.
