Using remote codes 7 Fax Receive Code 7 If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by dialing the Fax Receive Code 5 1. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Easy Receive on page 37.) If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Black Start.
