Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external telephone into the correct socket (See Connections on page 1-9.), you can make the fax machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the fax machine starts to receive a fax.

(See Fax Detect on page 5-5.)

If the fax machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 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 and no one is on the line, you should assume that you’re receiving a manual fax.

At an extension phone (on a separate telephone wall socket, press 5 1, wait for fax-receiving tones (chirps), and then hang up.

At an external phone (connected to the correct socket), press

5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected before you hang up (the LCD shows RECEIVE).

Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.

For FAX/TEL mode only

When the fax machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.

If you’re at an extension or external phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press # 5 1 between the double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the fax machine by pressing 5 1.
