Fax
Receiving a Fax Automatically in the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX
Mode
To use the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode, you must connect an external telephone to the TEL connector
on the rear of the device.
If the device hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive a fax.
Note: If you have set the device to Ans/FAX Mode and if you do not answer the external telephone,
the device will automatically go into the FAX Mode after a predefined time.

Receiving a Fax Manually Using an External Telephone

This feature works best when you are using an external telephone connected to the TEL connector on the
rear of the device. You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the external telephone
without having to go to the device.
When you receive a call on the external telephone and hear fax tones, press the two-digit keys on the
external telephone, or select [Manual Receive] in [OnHook] and then press the <Start> button.
The device receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote device, try pressing the
two-digit keys once again.
The remote receive code is set to [Off] at the factory. You can change the two-digit number to whatever
you choose. For details on changing the code, refer to
Note: Set the dialing system of your external telephone to DTMF.

Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode

The Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) is a telephone company service which enables a user to use
a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone
uses to call you on is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long
and short ringing sounds.
Before using the DRPD option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the
telephone company. To set up DRPD, you will need another telephone line at your location, or someone
available to dial your fax number from outside.
