40 CHAPTER FIVE
Fax Detect (with an External T elephone)
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you
answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait
for several seconds. When you see RECEIVE on the fax screen or when
you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected
to another wall socket, just replace the handset, and your machine does
the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls
automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external
phone. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the machine
yourself, by pressing Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your
machine. (You have to set Remote Activation to ON in Menu, 2, 4 to
use 5 1.)

If you’ve set the feature to ON, but your machine doesn’t automatically

press 5 1. At the machine, lift the handset and press Start.
Printing a Reduced Incoming Document
You can always reduce the size of an incoming fax to a fixed percentage
with your machine. If you choose AUTO, the machine chooses the level
of reduction for you regardless of the original size of the incoming
document.
