Operation from an External or Extension (For
FAX-8350P/MFC-9650 Only) Telephone
An external phone is a telephone that is plugged into your machine
(either into the machine’s EXT socket or into the back of the connector
that plugs into the telephone wall socket).
An extension phone is another phone on the same phone number as your
machine, but plugged into a different telephone wall socket. For
example, your machine may be connected to a phone line in your study,
and you may have another phone on the same line (and same phone
number) in your kitchen. This feature described below enables you to
answer the phone in the kitchen if it rings while you are making a coffee,
knowing that you can transfer the call to your machine if the incoming
call is a fax.
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make
your machine take over by using the Activation Code. When you press
the Activation Code
5 1, the machine starts to receive a fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-rings for you to take
over, use the Deactivation Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension
phone. The Deactivation Code is used only in Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode.
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a
fax. At an extension phone, press
5 1, wait for fax receiving tones
(chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press
5 1 and wait for the
phone to be disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVING) before you
hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)
If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is
being received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions
unreadable.
The Remote Activation Code can also be used by your callers. When you
are using an external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end
with the statement “to send a fax, press
5 1”.
For the FAX-8750P, the Activation Code and Deactivation Code can be
used only from an external phone.
