Fax Detect

When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall socket, just replace the handset, and your machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting SEMI (Only for MFC-9550) lets the fax machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the machine. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your machine.

Printing a Reduced Incoming Document
