Using external and extension telephonesUsing extension telephones:

If you answer a fax call at an extension telephone, you can make your machine receive the fax by pressing the Fax Receive Code l 5 1. If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at an extension telephone by pressing the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 36.)

Using an external telephone (connected to the EXT. jack of the machine):

If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Black Start, and choosing 2.Receive.

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Hook.

If you answer a call and no one is on the line:

You should assume that you're receiving a manual fax.

Press l 5 1 and wait for the chirp or until the LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.
