Operation from Extension Telephone

If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT. jack, you can make your MFC take over by using the Fax Receive

Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1 , the MFC starts to receive a fax.

If the MFC answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use

the Telephone Answer Code 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone.

If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the MFC phone, press Start , then hang up. At an extension phone, press 5 1 , wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external

phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVING) before you hang up. (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 (double ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the MFC, you can lift the handset to answer.

If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the

F/T Ring Time and press 5 1 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 5 1 .

Receive Code is	5 1 . The preset Telephone Answer Code is				5 1 .
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD
remotely, try changing the Fax Receive Code from			5	1 to
