5 CONVENIENT METHODS OF USE This chapter explains convenient functions that can be used when sending a fax, connecting an extension phone, and other features that expand the scope of use of the fax machine. Please read those sections that are of interest to you. CONNECTING AN EXTENSION PHONE You can connect a telephone to the machine and use it as an extension phone to make and receive calls like any normal phone. Fax reception can also be activated from an extension phone connected to the machine. (Remote operation) If you connect a combination telephone/answering machine to the machine, you will not be able to use the Note answering machine function. USING AN EXTENSION PHONE Using an extension phone for voice calls An extension phone connected to the machine can be used to place and receive voice calls just like a normal phone. Note • If the fax reception mode is set to auto reception, you must lift the phone to answer a call before the machine automatically begins reception. The machine is initially set to answer calls on two rings. The number of rings can be changed to any number from 0 to 9 in the key operator programs. (See "#OF RINGS AT. RX" on page 104.) • If you cannot hear a dial tone when you pick up the extension phone, the machine is sending or receiving a fax. Replace the phone.
