Receiving Faxes Manually

In Manual mode, if you connect a telephone to your machine, you can receive voice calls as well as manually activate reception of faxes. You can activate reception from the machine or from the telephone connected to the machine (this is called Remote receiving).

• For this mode, you need to connect a telephone to your machine. (→ Set-up Guide) NOTE • Make sure there are no documents in the ADF.

• Make sure the REMOTE RX setting is enabled. (→ p. 10-7)

• If your telephone line uses rotary pulse and the telephone connected to the machine can not be switched to tone dialling, you can not activate Remote receiving.

•You can change the number for the remote receiving ID, with a combination of two characters using 0 to 9, T and #, or disable remote receiving. (→ p. 10-7)

•If you have an answering machine connected to your machine that can carry out remote-control operations (controlling your answering machine from a remote telephone), the security code for this

function may be the same as the remote receiving ID. If so, make sure you change the machine’s remote receiving ID to make it distinct from the answering machine’s security code. (→ p. 10-7)

•The machine will beep and HANG UP PHONE will be displayed if the handset is not hung up properly.

Make sure the handset is placed properly in its cradle. If you do not want the machine to beep, disable the OFFHOOK ALARM setting. (→ p. 10-4)
