Receiving Manually Using an
Extension Telephone
This features works best when you are using an extension
telephone connected to the EXT. jack on the back of your
machine. 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 telephone. The
machine receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax
tone from the remote machine, try pressing
9
once again.
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 wish. For details about changing the
code, see “Receive Code” on page 7.2
Receiving Faxes Using the
DRPD Mode
“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which
enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several
different telephone numbers. The particular number someone
uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which
consist of various combinations of long and short ringing
sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who
answer telephones for many different clients and need to know
which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the
phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax
machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be
answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing
pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax
call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the
EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring
Pattern Detection at any time.
Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option,
Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line
by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection, you will need another telephone line at your
location, or someone available to dial your fax number from
outside.

OTES
:
• 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. jack.
Receiving Faxes in the Memory
Since your machine is a multi-tasking device, it can receive
faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a
fax while you are copying or printing, your machine stores
incoming faxes in memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying
or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax.
