Advanced receiving operations

Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone in the
EXT. jack, you can make your MFC take the call by using the Fax
Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the
MFC starts to receive a fax.
(See Easy Receive on page 5-4.)
If the MFC answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to
take over, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at
an extension phone. (See Setting the F/T Ring Time (FAX/TEL mode
only) on page 5-3.)
If you answer a call at an extension or external phone and no one is
on the line, you should assume that you're receiving a fax. At an
extension phone, press 5 1, wait for fax-receiving tones (chirps),
and then hang up. At an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for
the phone to be disconnected before you hang up (the LCD shows
RECEIVING ). Your caller will have to press Fax 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. If you're
at the machine, you can lift the handset 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 # 5 1 between the double rings. 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 5 1.

Using a cordless external handset

If your cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the fax
machine and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is
easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay. If you let the fax
machine answer first, you will have to answer using the cordless and
then go to the fax machine so you can press Hook to transfer the call
to the cordless handset.
