Fax features • 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. 36 Receiving faxes with an extension telephone 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. 37 Receiving faxes using DRPD mode Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables an user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. This feature is often used by answering services who answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone. 1 Select (fax) > (Menu) > Fax Setup > Receiving > DRPD > Waiting Ring on the control panel. 2 Call your fax number from another telephone. 3 When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The machine requires several rings to learn the pattern. When the machine completes learning, the display shows Completed DRPD Setup. If the DRPD setup fails, Error DRPD Ring appears. 4 Press OK when DRPD appears and start over from step 2. • DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or connect the machine to another telephone line. • After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call placed to a different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT socket. 4.
