Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension, or an
external telephone that is correctly connected
to the machine into the correct socket on the
machine, you can make your machine take
the call by using the Fax Receive Code.
When you press the Fax Receive Code 51,
the machine starts to receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on the line,
you should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
■ Press 51 and wait for the chirp or until
the machine’s LCD displays
Receiving,
and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatiacally take the
call. (See Fax Detect on page 4-3.)
For Fax/Tel mode only
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick
up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone's handset, and
then press Tel/R to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to
lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and
then press #51 between the pseudo/double
rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone
wants to send you a fax, send the call back to
the machine by pressing 51.
Using a cordless external
handset
If the base unit of the cordless telephone to
the machine is connected (see page A-3) and
you typically carry the cordless handset
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay. If you let the machine answer
first, you will have to go to the machine so you
can press Tel/R to transfer the call to the
cordless handset.
