4-6 Receiving a Fax
Note:
The characters * 9 * (star-nine-star) are preset at the factory as the 
default remote receive start code for machines operated with a telephone 
connected to the EXT jack on the side of the WorkCentre. The asterisks in 
the code are fixed characters, but the number can be changed.  For more 
information, see 
Selectable Options
 on page 1-52.

Replace the external phone.
The machine begins receiving and returns 
to Standby mode when reception is complete.
Receiving Automatically in ANS/FAX Mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT jack 
on the left side of your machine.
1
Press the 
Receive
 button until the display indicates ANS/FAX. Any 
incoming voice calls will be answered by the answering machine. The 
caller can then leave a message on the answering machine.
2
If a fax tone is detected on the line, the fax receive mode is 
automatically activated.
Note:
If you set your machine to ANS/FAX mode and your answering 
machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to the Xerox 
WorkCentre 480cx, the machine will automatically go into fax receive mode 
after six rings.
If your answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set it to 
answer incoming calls after one ring.
If the machine is in TEL mode, and an answering machine is connected to 
the machine, turn off the answering machine. This will prevent the 
answering machine’s outgoing message from interrupting your phone 
conversation.
