CHAPTER FIVE
Advanced Receiving Operations
Operation from an External or Extension
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 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 the machine 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 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.
Extension telephones are not permitted in some countries, in such a case
the Deactivation Code will not work.
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 Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode Only
When the machine is in Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, it will use the F/T Ring
Time (F/T pseudo-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the
machine, you can lift the external telephone’s handset (and press Tel for
MFC-9050) to answer.
