Receiving Manually Using an Extension Telephone

When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the keys 9 on the extension telephone. The machine receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try pressing 9 once again.

Receiving Faxes Using 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, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the FAX machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection at any time.
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.
