Answering calls manually

NOTE: To answer a call manually, you must install an external phone to your machine.
Make sure the document is not set on the ADF.

Receiving a call manually with an external phone

In “Tel Ready” or “Tel/Fax Ready” mode, when the external phone rings, pick up handset:
If you hear fax tones (“beep — beep — beep”), put the handset down, but do not
hang up. Walk to your machine and press <Start>. After you press <Start>, hang
up the external phone’s handset. Because remote fax machines will wait several
seconds to hear reception tones from your machine, you have about 30 seconds to
walk to your machine and press <Start>.
