Advanced Receiving Operations
Operation from Extension Telephone or External Telephone
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone (or on an external phone in the
EXT. jack), you can make your machine take over by using the Fax Receive
Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the machine starts to
receive a fax. (See
If the machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use
the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone.
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At
the machine’s phone, press Fax Start, then hang up. At an extension phone,
press
5
1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external
phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the LCD shows
RECEIVING
) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Fax Start
to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call. If you’re at the machine, you can lift
the handset 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 # 5 1 between the double rings. 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 5 1.
