Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an e xtension telephone, or an exte rnal
telephone in the EXT. jack, you can make your MFC take the call by
using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code
51, the MFC starts to receive a fax.
(See Easy Receive on page 5-4.)
If the MFC answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to
take over, use the Telephone Answer Code #51 to take the call at an
extension phone. (See Setting the F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode
only) on page 5-3.)
If you answer a call an d no one is on the lin e, you should assume that
you’re receiving a manual fax.
■At an extension phone (on a separate telephone wall jack),
press 51, wait for fax-receiving tones (chirps), and then
hang up.
■At an external phone (connec ted to the MFC’s EXT jack), pres s
51 and wait for the phone to be disconnected before you hang
up (the LCD shows Receiving).
Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the MFC is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringi ng) to alert you to pick up a voice cal l.
If you’re at the MFC, you can lift the handset to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you will need to lift the handset
during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 between the double
rings. If no one is on the line, or if someo ne wants to send you a fax,
send the call back to the MF C by pressing 51.
