Operation From External Or Extension Telephones; For Fax/Tel Mode Only; Using A Non-Brother Cordless External Handset; Using Remote Codes - Brother MFC-7240 Basic User's Manual

Operation from external or
extension telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine through
the T-piece connection, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation code. When you press the Remote
Activation code l51 (l91 for New Zealand)
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 l51 (l91 for New Zealand) and wait for
the chirp or until the LCD shows 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 uu page 29.)

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (fast/double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the machine's handset to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset of the extension
telephone during the F/T Ring Time and then
press #51 (#91 for New Zealand) on the
extension telephone between the fast/double
rings to turn the F/T ring off. 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
l51 (l91 for New Zealand).

Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the telephone line cord (see
Connecting an external or extension
telephone uu page 38) and you typically
carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is
easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, press
Hook/Hold and then lift the cordless handset.
Press Hook/Hold again so you can transfer
the call to the cordless handset.
