Using Remote Receive Use Remote Receive to manually receive a fax from an external telephone without having to go to the printer. To manually receive a fax using the external telephone, you must connect an external telephone to the phone connector on the rear of the printer and also set Remote Receive to On. See "Connecting a Telephone or Answering Machine." When you receive a call on the external telephone and hear a fax tone, enter the remote receive code from the external telephone. NOTE: • When entering the remote receive code from the external telephone, press the number keys slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try entering the two-digit code again. • The default remote receive code is 00. You can change the two-digit code to a number of your choice. See "Receive Mode." • Set the dialing system of your external telephone to DTMF.
