Operation Manual

Receiving a Fax Manually in the TEL Mode
You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the external telephone and then pressing the remote
receive code (see “Available Fax Settings Options” on page 220), or by setting OnHook to On (you can
hear voice or fax tones from the remote machine) and then pressing the Start button.
The printer begins receiving a fax and returns to the standby mode when the reception is completed.
Receiving a Fax Automatically in the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode
To use the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode, you must connect an external telephone to the phone
connector (
) on the rear of your printer.
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it would normally. If your
printer hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive a fax.
Note:
If you have set your printer to Ans/FAX Mode and your answering machine is turned off, or no
answering machine is connected to your printer, your printer will automatically go into the FAX Mode
after a predefined time.
Receiving a Fax Manually Using an External Telephone
This feature works best when you are using an external telephone connected to the phone connector
(
) on the rear of your printer. You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the external
telephone without having to go to the printer.
When you receive a call on the external telephone and hear fax tones, press the two-digit keys on the
external telephone, or set OnHook to On and then press the Start button.
The printer receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try
pressing the two-digit keys once again.
The remote receive code is set to Off at the factory. You can change the two-digit number to whatever
you choose. For details on changing the code, see “Available Fax Settings Options” on page 220.
Note:
Set the dialing system of your external telephone to DTMF.
