Receiving a fax

This part explains how to receive a fax and the special receiving methods
available.

Changing the receive modes

Your machine is preset to the Fax mode at the factory. When you receive a
fax, the machine answers the call on a specified number of rings and
automatically receives the fax. However, if you want to change the receive
mode to another mode, follow the steps below:
1. Press Machine Setup > Application Settings > Fax Settings > Fax
Initial Settings from the display screen.
2. Press a fax line if your machine has multiple fax lines.
3. Press Receive Mode.
4. Press the appropriate option.
• Telephone: Receives a fax by pressing On Hook and then Start.
• Fax: Answers an incoming fax call and immediately goes into the
fax reception mode.
• Answering Machine/Fax: Is for when an answering machine is
attached to your machine. Your machine answers an incoming call,
and the caller can leave a message on the answering machine. If the
fax machine senses a fax tone on the line, the machine automatically
switches to Fax mode to receive the fax.
5. Press OK to save the information.

Receiving manually in Telephone mode

You can receive a fax call by pressing On Hook and then pressing Start
when you hear a fax tone from the remote machine. The machine begins
receiving a fax.
Receiving faxes manually using an extension
telephone
This feature works best when you are using an extension telephone
connected to the EXT socket on the back of your machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press
the key *9* on the extension phone. The machine receives the fax.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the
remote machine, try pressing *9* once again.
To change the *9* to, for example, *3*, follow the steps below:
1. Press Machine Setup > Application Settings > Fax Settings >
Recieve Start Code from the display screen.
2. Press On to activate this feature.
3. Enter the number 3 using the numeric keypad on the control panel
4. Press OK.

Receiving in secure receiving mode

You may need to prevent your received faxes from being accessed by
unauthorized people. You can turn on secure receiving mode to restrict
printing of received faxes when the machine is unattended. In secure
receiving mode, all incoming faxes go into memory.
1. Press Machine Setup > Application Settings > Fax Settings >
Secure Receive from the display screen.
The Secure Receive mode can only be configured by an
authorized user who has registered an ID and a password on the
machine. When the machine requests, enter the ID and password.
2. Press a fax line if your machine has multiple fax lines.
3. Press On to active this feature.
When the machine receives a fax in this mode, Print will be
activated. If you want to print the secured faxes, press Print. All
secured faxes will be printed out.
4. If you want incoming faxes to go into memory always, press Whole Day.
Otherwise, go to the next step.
5. Set Start Time by pressing the + and - buttons. Press OK.
6. Press End Time, and set the specific end time using the up/down or
left/right arrows. Then press OK.
7. Press OK from the display screen.
To deactivate the Secure Receive feature, press Off. In this case, the
received fax will be printed out.
