Advanced receiving
operations
Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone
connected to the EXT. jack of the MFC, you
can make your MFC take the call by using the
Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax
Receive Code 51, the MFC starts to
receive the fax. (See Easy Receive on page
4-3.)
If the MFC answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Telephone Answer Code #51 to take the
call at an extension phone. (See Setting the
F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page
4-3.)
If you answer a call and no one is on the line,
you should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
■ Press 51 and wait for the chirp or until
the MFC’s LCD displays
Receiving, and
then hang up.
For Fax/Tel mode only
When the MFC 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.
Lift the external telephone's handset, and
then press Hook 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 #51 between the pseudo/double
rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone
wants to send you a fax, send the call back to
the MFC by pressing 51.
Using a cordless external
handset
If your cordless telephone is connected to the
EXT. jack of the MFC and you typically carry
the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to
answer calls during the Ring Delay. If you let
the MFC answer first, you will have to go to
the MFC so you can press Hook to transfer
the call to the cordless handset.
Changing the remote codes
The preset Fax Receive Code is 51. The
preset Telephone Answer Code is #51. If you
want to, you can replace them with your own
codes.
