Stand-alone Fax
2. When you receive a call, the answering machine will answer.
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the
message as it would normally. If your machine hears a fax tone on
the line, it automatically starts to receive fax.
Notes:
• If you have set your machine to ANS/FAX mode and your answering
machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your
machine, your machine will automatically go into FAX mode after 6 rings.
• If your answering machine has a ‘user-selectable ring counter’, set the
machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If you are in TEL mode (manual reception) when the answering machine
is connected to your machine, you must switch off the answering
machine, or the outgoing message from the answering machine will
interrupt your phone conversation.
Receiving Manually in TEL Mode Using anExtension Phone
If you are using the external telephone connected to the EXT jack on
your machine, you can answer calls and start the machine to receive a
fax.
1. Press Receive Mode/Contrast on the front panel until the display
shows ‘TEL’.
2. When the telephone rings, answer it by picking up the handset of the
external phone.
3. If you hear a fax tone, or if the person on the other end asks you to
receive a fax, press Start/Enter on the front panel.
Or, press the keys “ 9 ” (star nine star) on the extension
telephone.
If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try pressing
“ 9 ” once again.
“ 9 ” is the remote 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 choose. For more information, see page xx.
4. When the machine starts receiving the document, replace the handset
of the telephone.
