Receiving faxes with an extension telephone
When you are using an extension telephone connected to the EXT socket, you
can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone,
without going to the fax machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the
keys *9* on the extension phone. The machine receives the fax.
*9* is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the last
asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle number to whatever you
want.
While you are talking over the telephone connected to the EXT socket, copy
and scan features are not available.

Press OK when DRPD appears and start over from step 2.
• DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or connect
the machine to another telephone line.
• After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the
machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call placed to a different
number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT socket.
