Receiving Faxes - e-Manual
Depending on the type of telephone connected to it, the
machine may not be able to send or receive faxes properly.
If you are connecting an external telephone with fax
functions, set the telephone to not receive faxes
automatically.
If you pick up the telephone handset and hear a beep, the
call is a fax. You can receive the fax just by using the
telephone to enter a specific ID number.

ring pattern is for a fax, the machine
automatically receives the fax.
