Handling Incoming Calls
MFC ‘Hears’ Voice as CNG
Tone.
If your MFC is set to Fax Detect On, it is more sensitive to sounds. Your
MFC may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a
calling fax machine and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the
fax by pressing Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax
Detect to Off. (See Fax Detect on page 5-5.)
Transferring a Fax Call to the
MFC. If you answered at the MFC, press Start and hang up immediately. If
you answered on an external or extension phone, press your Rem ote
Activation Code (default setting is ( 51). When your MFC answers,
hang up.
Custom features on a single
line. If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, Voice Mail,
an answering machine, an alarm system or other custom featu re on a
single phone line with your MFC, it may create a problem sending or
receiving fax data.

to access the Setup
Receive and Setup Send
menus.
Make sure that MFC is in Fax mode. If the Fax key is not
illuminated, press it to turn on Fax mode. Setup Receive setting
(Menu, 2, 1) and Setup Send setting (Menu, 2, 2) are available only
when the MFC is in Fax mode.
