Operation from External or Extension Telephone
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT.
jack, you can make your FAX/MFC take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When
you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the FAX/MFC starts to receive a fax. (See
Easy Receive, page 5-4.)
If the FAX/MFC 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 5-3.)
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the
FAX/MFC phone, press Start, then hang up. 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 RECEIVE) before you hang
up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the FAX/MFC 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/MFC, 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 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/MFC by pressing 5 1.
