Advanced receiving operations

Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external telephone in the EXT. jack of the MFC, 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 4-4.)

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 4-3.)

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 MFC’s LCD displays Receiving, and then hang up.

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

Fax/Tel mode when power key is On

When the MFC 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 are 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 MFC by pressing 51.

Fax/Tel mode when power key is Off

Fax/Tel mode does not work when the power button is off. The MFC will not answer telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing. If you are at an external or extension phone, lift the handset of the extension phone and talk. If you hear fax tones, hold the handset until Easy Receive activates your MFC. If the other party says they want to send you a fax, activate the MFC by pressing 51.
