Operation from extension telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external
telephone into the correct socket (See
Connections
on page 1-9.),
you can make the fax machine take the call by using the Fax Receive
Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code
5 1
, the fax
machine starts to receive a fax.
(See Fax Detect on page 5-5.)
If the fax machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for
you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code
# 5 1
to take the
call at an extension phone. (See Setting the F/T Ring Time (FAX/TEL
mode only) on page 5-3.)
If you answer a call and no one is on the line, you should assume that
you’re receiving a manual fax.
At an extension phone (on a separate telephone wall socket,
press
5 1
, wait for fax-receiving tones (chirps), and then hang
up.
At an external phone (connected to the correct socket), press
5 1
and wait for the phone to be disconnected before you
hang up (the LCD shows
RECEIVE
).
Your caller will have to press 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 (pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you’re at an extension or external 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
.
