Receiving Faxes
■ If you hear a voice:
4 Start your conversation. If the caller
wants to send a fax after talking to
you, ask them to press the start button
on their fax machine.
5 When you hear a long beep, press
Start/Copy on your machine and
hang up to begin receiving the
document.
• If you are using the extension telephone
and it is located away from your
machine, dial 25 (the default remote
receiving ID) on your telephone and
hang up.
n
• If using the handset, be sure to hang up after you press Start/Copy on the machine,
otherwise the call will be disconnected.
•Your machine will alert you by beeping if the handset is not hung up properly. Make sure
the handset is seated properly in its cradle. If you do not want the machine to beep,
disable the
OFFHOOK ALARM setting (1 p. 14-4).
• If you cannot activate reception from the extension telephone, check that the
REMOTE
RX
setting is enabled (1 p. 14-7).
•You can change the remote receiving ID (1
REMOTE RX ID, p. 14-7), or disable remote
receiving (1
REMOTE RX, p. 14-7).
• If you have an answering machine connected to your machine that can carry out remote-
control operations (controlling your answering machine from a remote telephone), the
security code for this function may be the same as the remote receiving ID of your
machine. If this is the case, make sure you change the machine’s remote receiving ID to
make it distinct from the answering machine’s security code (1
REMOTE RX ID, p. 14-
7).
