Receiving a Fax 27
BASIC FAX USE
Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, all phones on this line will
ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.
You can let the machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax call, the machine
prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of
time you selected in F/T Ring Time. Lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Tel to
answer.
Fax Detect (with an External or Extension Telephone)
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Fax Start or 5 1 when you answer a fax call
with an external or extension telephone and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset of an external
or extension telephone and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the fax screen
or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall
socket, just replace the handset, and the machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to
receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an external or extension phone.
Selecting OFF means you will have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing Fax Start or
5 1 at the external or extension telephone. (You have to set Remote Activation to ON in Menu,
2, 1, 4 to use 5 1.) (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page 43.)
In case Fax Detect does not work, because of a poor phone line connection, just press the Activation
Code 5 1 at the external or extension telephone.
