How to Use Remote Access and Control Codes
1. Pick up the handset of a remote touch tone phone or fax machine.
2. Dial your MFC’s number.
3. When your MFC answers with a beep, immediately press your Remote Access Code
(159*). (See page 8-7.)
4. If you hear a long beep, it means your machine has received fax message(s).
If you do not hear a long beep, it means your machine did not receive any
message(s).
5. As soon as you hear two (2) short beeps, press a Control Command.
Each time your MFC completes an instruction, it gives two (2) short beeps telling
you to enter the next command; if you wait longer than 30 seconds to enter the
command, your machine will disconnect the line. If you perform a wrong operation,
you will hear three (3) short beeps.
6. When you are ready to exit remote control mode, press 90 to reset your machine.
Remote Fax Retrieval
If you have set your FAX STORAGE: ON to store incoming fax messages, you have
the ability to retrieve these fax messages from any remote group 3 facsimile machine.
Remote fax retrieval is accomplished via remote control access commands, which are
described in the remainder of this chapter.
When to Enter the Remote Access Code
Just after the line is connected, you should enter the remote access code
from any touch tone phone. Make sure that you enter the remote access
code while you do
NOT hear any chirping sound of a MFC. If the machine
is set to MANUAL mode, it will answer the call after about 20 rings (about
100 seconds). You will have 30 seconds to press the remote access code or
the line will be disconnected.
