If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the MFC phone press Black Fax Start, and then hang up. At an extension phone, press 5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), and then hang up. At an external phone, press
5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected before you hang up (the LCD shows RECEIVING). (Your caller will have to press Black Fax Start to send the fax.)
When the 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 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 then press # 5 1 between the 5 1.
If your cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the MFC and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay. If you let the MFC answer first, you will have to answer using the cordless and then go to the MFC so you can press Hook/Hold to transfer the call to the cordless handset.
Changing the Remote CodesRemote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax Receive Code is 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1.
Note If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try changing the Fax Receive Code from 5 1 to # # # and the Telephone Answer Code from # 5 1 to 9 9 9.
