Operation from Extension Telephone

If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT. jack, you can make your FAX/MFC take over by using the Fax

Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1 , the FAX/ MFC starts to receive a fax.

If the FAX/MFC answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over,

use the Telephone Answer Code 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone.

If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the FAX/MFC phone, press Start , then hang up. At an extension phone,

press	5 1 , wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an
external phone, press		5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected

(the screen displays RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)

For FAX/TEL Mode Only

When the FAX/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 FAX/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 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/

MFC by pressing 5 1 .

Changing Remote Codes

Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax

Receive Code is 5 1 . The preset Telephone Answer Code is 5

1.

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 .
