Receiving Automatically in Ans/Fax Mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the
EXT jack on the back of your machine. See page 2.11.
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the
message as it would normally. If your machine detects a fax
tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive the fax.

Receiving Manually Using an Extension Telephone
This features works best when you are using an extension
telephone connected to the EXT jack on the back of your
machine. You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to
on the extension telephone without going to the fax machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax
tones, press the keys
9
on the extension telephone. The
machine 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 receive start code preset at the factory. The first
and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle
number to whatever you wish. For details about changing the
code, see page 7.4
