Remote Retrieval
You can call your MFC from any fax machine using touch tone and use a
Remote Access Code and other button presses to retrieve fax messages. Cut out
the Remote Retrieval Access Card on the last page of this manual and keep it in
your wallet as an aid. (See
Changing Remote Retrieval Access Code, page 8-3.)
Using Remote Retrieval Access Code

Dial your fax number from a fax machine using touch tone.

When your MFC answers and beeps, immediately enter your Remote Retrieval
Access Code (1 5 9 ).

The MFC signals the kinds of messages received:
1 long beep—Fax message(s)
No long beeps—No messages

enter an invalid command, the MFC beeps three times.
