Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external
telephone in the EXT. jack of t he machine, you can make the fax
machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you
press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the fax machine starts to
receive a fax. (See Easy Receive on page 5-3.)
If the fax machine answ ers a voice call an d pseudo/double-ri ngs
for you to take over, use th e Telephone Answer C ode # 5 1 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, y ou should assume
that you’re receiving a manual fax.
■At an extension phone (on a separate telephone wall jack),
press 5 1, wait for fax-receiving tones (chirps), an d then
hang up.
■At an external phone (connected to the fax machine’s EXT
jack), press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected
before you hang up (the LCD shows RECEIVE).
Your caller will have to press the Start key to send the fax.

For FAX/TEL mode only

When the fax machine is in FAX/TEL mo de, it will use the F/T Ring
Time (pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you’re at an extension or exte rnal phone, you’ll need t o lift the
handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press # 5 1 between
the double rings. If no one is on the line, o r if someone wants t o
send you a fax, send the call back to the fax machine by pressing
5 1.

Using a cordless external handset

If your cordless telephone is connected to the EXT . jack of the fax
machine and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it
is easier to answer calls durin g the Ring Delay. If you let the fax
machine answer first, you will have to answer using the cordless
and then go to the fax machine so you can press Hook to transfer
the call to the cordless hands et.
