If you answer a fax call at an extension
telephone, you can make your machine

pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at an extension telephone by
pressing the Telephone Answer Code #51.

machine)

If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone connected to the EXT jack of the
machine, you can make the machine receive
the fax by pressing Start and choosing
Receive.
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at the external telephone by
pressing Hook.

You should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Easy Receive
feature to make your machine
automatically take the call. (See Easy
Receive on page 31.)
Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
(see Connecting an external or extension
telephone on page 36) and you typically carry
the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to
answer calls during the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Hook to transfer the call to the cordless
handset.
