Canon MultiPASS C635 User Manual - Page 101

Use the telephone to receive manual calls as follows: 1. When you answer a call and hear a long beep or silence, a fax is being sent. 2. Enter the two-digit ID code on your telephone (the default code is 25). Wait for five seconds, then hang up. The MultiPASS then begins receiving the document. N If you have an answering machine connected to your MultiPASS and you can control your answering machine from a remote telephone, make sure the security code for this function is different than the two-digit ID code described above. You change the two-digit ID code used by the MultiPASS to make it distinct from the answering machine's security code. See "Setting Up Advanced Receive Fax Options" in Chapter 3, Using the MultiPASS Fax Setup Utility. Using an Answering Machine-Ans. Machine Mode Connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS allows you to receive faxes and phone messages while you are out of the office. In Answer Machine Mode, the MultiPASS allows the answering machine to answer incoming calls, then listens for a fax tone or for four seconds of silence (also an indication that a fax is coming in), and automatically receives the fax if it detects the tone or a four-second silence. (Four seconds is the default; you can change this value.) N Canon does not recommend using an "answering service" (like those offered by local telephone companies that provide voice mail) on the telephone line you are connecting to the MultiPASS. If you do subscribe to an answering service, you may want to dedicate a separate line for fax communication only and connect that line to the MultiPASS. Or, you can see if your telephone company offers a Distinctive Ring Pattern (DRP) service (see "Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature" later in this chapter). 5-4 Receiving Faxes Chapter 5
