Advanced receiving

operations

Operation from extension

telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension, or an
external telephone that is correctly connected
to the machine, you can make your machine
take the call by using the Fax Receive Code.
When you press the Fax Receive Code 51,
the machine starts to receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on the line,
you should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
Press 51 and wait for the chirp or until the
machine’s LCD displays Receiving, and
then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatically take the
call. (See Fax Detect (Easy Receive for USA
and Canada) on page 4-3.)

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick
up a voice call.
(For USA and Canada only)
If you're at the machine, you can lift the
handset to answer.
(For EU model only)
If you are at the machine with external
telephone connected to the EXT jack of the
machine, lift the external telephone's
handset, and then press Tel/R to answer.
(For Asia/Oceania model only)
If you are at the machine with external
telephone connected to the EXT jack of the
machine, lift the external telephone's
handset, and then press Hook/Hold to
answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to
lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and
then press #51 between the pseudo/double
rings.
After taking the call, if no one is on the line, or
if someone wants to send you a fax, send the
call back to the machine by pressing 51.

Using a cordless external

handset

If the base unit of the cordless telephone is
connected (see page A-14) and you typically
carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is
easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay.
Note
Not all brands of cordless phones are
compatible for use with your machine.
