Using your DF450

To send a fax using the phone to dial

You can dial a fax number using the phone
connected to your DF450.

•

Insert the document to be faxed in the
Automatic Document Feeder.

•

Dial the number you want on the phone.

•

Press the

START

button on your DF450. (To

cancel at any time, press the

STOP

button.)

•

Replace the handset.

To use with an answer machine

With your DF450 set to

TAD/FAX

mode, your

connected answer machine will take all calls as
normal. Your DF450 will respond after the
outgoing message if it hears fax tones and will
override the answer machine to automatically
receive the incoming fax.

To enable the reception of faxes from a fax
machine which does not send fax tones, your
DF450 is pre-set to switch to fax reception if,
when it is called, it detects up to 6 seconds of
silence. You may need to adjust this time to suit
your answering machine. Shorten the time if
your DF450 fails to cut in, or lengthen it if it
cuts in while a caller is leaving a message (see
Additional Features, page 25).

Remote control from an extension

If your DF450 is connected to a telephone
network which has other telephone
extensions, it is possible to take the call on an
extension and, if it is a fax call, transfer the call
to your DF450.

you can alter the second digit of the remote
start command as follows:

•

Press the

and

) using the keypad.

•

Enter the new digit then press the

button to confirm your choice.

•

Press the

button to return to standby.

As a precaution, to prevent your DF450 cutting in
during a voice call, press the

✱

and

buttons

before starting a conversation. This will immobilise
your DF450 during the call and may be necessary
as there are rare occasions where certain voice
tones or pitches can be mistaken for fax tones,
which would set off a fax response.
