Dial your fax number from a telephone or another fax machine using touch tone.

When your MFC answers, immediately enter your Remote Access Code (159 ). The MFC signals the kinds of messages it has received:

1 long beep — Fax message(s) No beeps — No messages

The MFC gives you two short beeps, which tells you to enter a command. The MFC will hang up if you wait longer than 30 seconds to enter a command. The MFC will beep three times, if you enter an invalid command.

If your MFC is set to MANUAL mode and you want to use the remote retrieval features, you can access your machine by waiting about 2 minutes after it starts ringing, and then entering the Remote Access Code within 30 seconds.
