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 MFC take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the MFC starts to receive a fax. (See Setting FAX/TEL (F/T) Ring Time, page 5-3 and Easy Receive, page 5-3.) If the 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 MFC phone, press Start, and 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 LCD shows RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.) For FAX/TEL Mode Only When the MFC is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (doubleringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call. If you're at the 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 then 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 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.
