Advanced receiving operations

Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external 
telephone into the correct socket on the MFC, you can make your 
MFC take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press 
the Fax Receive Code 

51

, the MFC starts to receive a fax. (See 

Fax Detect

 on page 4-4.)

If the MFC answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to 
take over, use the Telephone Answer Code 

#51

 to take the call at an 

extension phone. (See 

Setting the F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode 

only)

 on page 4-3.)

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 MFC’s LCD displays 

Receiving

, and then hang up.

Your caller will have to press 

Start

 to send the fax.

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the MFC 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 MFC by pressing 

51

.

Fax/Tel mode in the power save condition

Fax/Tel mode does not work in the power save condition. The MFC 
will not answer telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing.

If you are at an external or extension phone, lift the handset of the 
extension phone and talk. If you hear fax tones, hold the handset 
until Fax Detect activates your MFC. If the other party says they want 
to send you a fax, activate the MFC by pressing 

51

.
