Fax Detect 6
If Fax Detect is On: 6
The machine receives a fax call
automatically, even if you answer the call.
When you see Receiving on the LCD or
when you hear “chirps” through the handset
you are using, just replace the handset. Your
machine will do the rest.
If Fax Detect is Semi: 6
The machine will only receive a fax call
automatically if you answered it using the
machine’s handset, cordless handset or
Speaker Phone. If you answered at an
extension telephone, press l 5 1. (See
Operation from extension telephones
on page 64.)
If Fax Detect is Off: 6
If you are at the machine and answer a fax
call by lifting the handset, press Mono Start
or Colour Start, then press Receive to
receive the fax.
If you answered at an extension telephone,
press l 5 1. (See Operation from extension
telephones on page 64.)
Note
• If this feature is set to On, but your
machine does not connect a fax call when
you lift an extension or external telephone
handset, press the remote activation code
l 5 1.
• If you send faxes from a computer on the
same telephone line and the machine
intercepts them, set Fax Detect to Off.
• (MFC-990CW) If you typically carry the
cordless handset away from the machine,
we recommend that you turn on Fax
Detect. If Fax Detect is turned off and you
answer a fax call, you will have to go to the
machine and press Mono Start or
Colour Start.
