Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension, or an
external telephone that is correctly connected
to the machine, you can make your machine
take the call by using the Fax Receive Code.
When you press the Fax Receive Code
the machine starts to receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on the line,
you should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press 51 and wait for the chirp or until the
machine's LCD displays Receiving , and
then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatically take the
call. (See Fax Detect on page 4-3.)

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick
up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone's handset, and
then press Tel/R 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 #51 between the pseudo/double
rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone
wants to send you a fax, send the call back to
the machine by pressing
A - 2
51,
51.
Using a cordless external
handset
If the base unit of the cordless telephone is
connected (see page A-3) and you typically
carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is
easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay.
