Operation from Extension Telephone
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external
phone in the EXT. jack, you can make your MFC take over by using
the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code

If the MFC answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take
over, use the Telephone Answer Code

to take the call at
an extension phone.
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re
receiving a fax. At the MFC phone, press
Start
, then hang up. At an
extension phone, press
5

(chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press

wait for the phone to be disconnected (the screen displays

For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the MFC is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring
Time (double ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call. If you’re
at the MFC, you can lift the handset to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset
during the F/T Ring Time and press
5

between the double
rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a
fax, send the call back to the MFC by pressing
