Advanced Receiving Operations Operation from Extension Telephone or External Telephone If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT. jack, you can make your FAX/MFC take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the FAX/MFC starts to receive a fax. (See Setting F/T Ring Time, page 5-3 and Easy Receive, page 5-3.) If the FAX/MFC answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 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 FAX/MFC phone, press Start, then hang up. At an extension phone, press 5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.) For FAX/TEL Mode Only When the FAX/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 FAX/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 1 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 FAX/MFC by pressing 5 1. Changing Remote Codes Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax Receive Code is 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1. Note If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try changing the Fax Receive Code from 5 1 to # # # and the Telephone Answer Code from # 5 1 to 9 9 9. 1 For the FAX, press Function, 2, 4.
