Receiving Faxes Manually

In Manual mode, if you connect a telephone to your machine, you can receive voice calls as well as manually activate reception of faxes. You can activate reception from the machine or from the telephone connected to the machine (this is called Remote receiving).

• For this mode, you need to connect a telephone to your machine. (→ Quick Start Guide)

•If your telephone line uses rotary pulse and the telephone connected to the machine cannot be switched to tone dialling, you cannot activate Remote receiving.
