Receiving Manually in the Tel Mode

You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the external telephone and then pressing the remote receive code (see "Available Fax Settings Options"), or by setting OnHook to On (you can hear voice or fax tones from the remote machine) and then pressing Start.

The multifunction printer begins receiving a fax and returns to the standby mode when the reception is completed.

Receiving Automatically in the TEL/FAX or Ans/FAX Mode

To use the TEL/FAX or Ans/Fax mode, you must attach an answering machine to the Phone connector ( ) on the back of your multifunction printer.

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

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

Receiving Manually Using an External Telephone

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

When you receive a call on the external telephone and hear fax tones, press the two-digit keys on the external telephone.

The multifunction printer receives the document.

Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try pressing the two-digit keys once again.

The remote receive code is set to Off 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 "Available Fax Settings Options".

Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode

The DRPD mode is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you on is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds.

Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you will need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial your FAX number from outside.

To set up the DRPD mode:

1.Press until >SETUP appears, and then press .

2.Press until >Admin Menu appears, and then press .

3.Press until >Fax Settings appears, and then press .

4.Press until >DRPD Pattern appears.

5.Use to select the desired setting, and then press .

6.To return to the standby mode, press Cancel.

To receive faxes in the DRPD mode, you need to set the menu to DRPD; see "Available Fax Settings Options".

Your multifunction printer provides five DRPD patterns. If this service is available from your telephone company, ask your telephone company which pattern you need to select to use this service.

Receiving Faxes in the Memory

Since your multifunction printer is a multi-tasking device, it can receive faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a fax while you are copying, printing, or run out of paper or toner, your multifunction printer stores incoming faxes in the memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying, printing, or re-supply the consumables, the multifunction printer automatically prints the fax.

Polling Receive
