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/MFC take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When 
you press the Fax Receive Code 

5 1

, the FAX/MFC starts to receive a fax. (See 

Easy Receive, page 5-4.)

If the FAX/MFC 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/MFC 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/MFC 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/MFC, 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

wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the FAX/MFC by pressing
