Fax features 42 Receiving manually in Tel mode 44 Receiving faxes with an extension telephone You can receive a fax call by pressing (On Hook Dial) button and then pressing (Start) when you hear a fax tone. If your machine has a handset, you can answer calls using the handset (see "Features by models" on page 7). 43 Receiving in Answering Machine/Fax mode To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT socket on the back of your machine. If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message. If your machine detects a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive the fax. When you are using an extension telephone connected to the EXT socket, you can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone, without going to the fax machine. When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the keys *9* on the extension phone. The machine receives the fax. *9* is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle number to whatever you want. While you are talking over the telephone connected to the EXT socket, copy and scan features are not available. • If you have set your machine to this mode and your answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to EXT socket, your machine automatically goes into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings. • If the answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set the machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring. • If the machine is in Tel mode, disconnect or switch off the answering machine with the fax machine. Otherwise, the outgoing message from the answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation. 45 Receiving faxes using DRPD mode This setting may not be available depending on your country.
