Using external and extension telephonesUsing extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on 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, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 47.)

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

If you answer a fax call at the external telephone connected to the EXT jack of the machine, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Speaker Phone followed by Black Start, and then pressing Receive.

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.

Note

You can also use the Easy Receive feature to make your machine automatically take the call. (See Easy Receive on page 48.)
