CHAPTER TEN
Remote Retrieval
This section is for the FAX 870MC and MFC 970MC. (If you have the FAX 770,
please see Chapter 9 for your remote fax options.) You can call your FAX/MFC
from any touch tone phone (or remote Group 3 fax machine) and use a Remote
Access Code and other button presses to retrieve voice (and fax) messages. You can
also program and change some settings for your Message Center.
Using Remote Access Code

Dial your FAX/MFC phone number from a touch tone phone.

When your FAX/MFC answers and beeps, immediately enter your Remote

The FAX/MFC signals the kinds of messages received:
1 long beep—Fax message(s)
2 long beeps—Voice message(s)
3 long beeps—Fax and Voice message(s)
No beeps—no messages

The FAX/MFC then prompts you with two short beeps to enter a command.
If you wait longer than 30 seconds to enter a command, the MFC hangs up.
