Advanced Receiving Operations

Operation from External or Extension Telephone

If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT. 
jack, you can make your fax machine take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When 
you press the Fax Receive Code 

5 1

, the fax machine starts to receive a fax. (See 

Easy Receive, page 5-3.)

If the fax machine 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. (See 

Setting F/T Ring Time, page 5-3.)

If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the 
fax machine phone, press 

Start

, 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 screen displays RECEIVE) 

before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press 

Start

 to send the fax.) 

For FAX/TEL Mode Only

When the fax machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double 
ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the fax machine, 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 press
