Dell 1600n manual Receiving Manually in the Tel Mode, Receiving Automatically in the Ans/Fax Mode

If you want to adjust the ringer volume, see "Setting Sounds" on page 115.

Receiving Manually in the Tel Mode

You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the extension phone and then pressing the remote receive code (see page 119), or by pressing <On Hook Dial> (you can hear voice or fax tones from the remote machine) and then <Send Fax> on the operator panel.

The multi-function printer begins receiving a fax and returns to Standby mode when the reception is completed.

Receiving Automatically in the Ans/Fax Mode

For this mode, if an answering machine is used, you must attach an answering machine to the Phone connector ( ) on the back of your multi-function printer.

If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it would normally. If your multi-function printer hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive fax.

NOTE: If you have set your multi-function printer to Ans/Fax mode and your answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your multi-function printer, your multi-function printer will automatically go into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.

Receiving Manually Using an Extension Telephone

This features works best when you are using an extension telephone connected to the Phone connector ( ) on back of your multi-function printer. You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone without having to go to the fax machine.

When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the keys "*9*" (star nine star) on the extension telephone.

The multi-function printer receives the document.

Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try pressing "*9*" once again.

"*9*" is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle number to whatever you choose. For details on changing the code, see page 118.
