5-4 Receiving Faxes Chapter 5
Receive option must be enabled in the Advanced: Receive Fax dialog box.
(The default is enabled.) For details, see page 8-8.
Use the telephone to receive manual calls as follows:
1. When you answer a call and hear a long beep or silence, a fax is being
sent.
2. Enter the two-digit ID code on your telephone (the default code
is 25). Wait for five seconds, then hang up. The MultiPASS then
begins receiving the document.

If you have an answering machine connected to your MultiPASS and you
can control your answering machine from a remote telephone, make sure
the security code for this function is different than the two-digit ID code
described above. You change the two-digit ID code used by the MultiPASS
to make it distinct from the answering machine’s security code. See page 8-
10.
Using an Answering MachineÑAns. Machine Mode
Connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS allows you to receive
faxes and phone messages while you are out of the office.
In Answer Machine Mode, the MultiPASS allows the answering machine
to answer incoming calls, then listens for a fax tone or for four seconds of
silence (also an indication that a fax is coming in), and automatically
receives the fax if it detects the tone or a four-second silence. (Four seconds
is the default; you can change this value.)

Canon does not recommend using an “answering service” (like those
offered by local telephone companies that provide voice mail) on the
telephone line you are connecting to the MultiPASS. If you do subscribe to
an answering service, you may want to dedicate a separate line for fax
communication only and connect that line to the MultiPASS. Or, you can
see if your telephone company offers a Distinctive Ring Pattern (DRP)
service (see page 5-10 for details).
