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, 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 5-4.)

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 5-3.)

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

■At an extension phone (on a separate telephone wall jack/phone socket), press 51, wait for fax-receiving tones (chirps), and then hang up.

■At an external phone (connected to the MFC’s EXT jack), press

51 and wait for the phone to be disconnected before you hang up (the LCD shows Receiving).

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

For FAX/TEL mode only

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.

Lift the external telephone's handset, and then press Hook 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 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.
