Operation from Extension Telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the
EXT. jack, you can make your fax machine take over by using the Fax Receive
Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the fax machine starts to
receive a fax. (See
Easy Receive, page 6-3.)
If the fax machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over,
use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone.
(See Setting F/T Ring Time, page 6-3.)
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At
the fax machine phone press Black Fax Start, and then hang up. At an
extension phone, press 5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), and then
hang up. At an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be
disconnected before you hang up (the LCD shows RECEIVING). (Your caller
will have to press Black Fax Start to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the fax machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time
(double-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the fax machine, you
can lift the handset to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T
Ring Time, and then press # 5 1 between the double-rings. If no one is on the
line or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the fax machine
by pressing 5 1.
Using a Cordless External Handset
If your cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the fax machine and
you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls
during the Ring Delay. If you let the fax machine answer first, you will have to
answer using the cordless and then go to the fax machine so you can press
Hook/Hold to transfer the call to the cordless handset.
Changing the Remote Codes
Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax
Receive Code is 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1.
Note
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely,
try changing the Fax Receive Code from 5 1 to # # # and the Telephone
Answer Code from # 5 1 to 9 9 9.
