Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external telephone, you can make your machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 51, the machine starts to receive a fax. (See Fax Detect on page 5-5.)

If the machine 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 5-4.)

If you answer a call and no one is on the line, you should assume that you’re receiving a manual fax.

■Press 51 and wait for the chirp or until the machine’s LCD displays Receiving, and then hang up.

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

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the 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 the machine, you can lift the handset to answer.

Lift the external telephone's handset, and then press Tel/R to answer.

If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 between the pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing 51.
