Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone plugged into the correct
socket on the machine, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Fax
Receive Code. When you press the Fax
Receive Code l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand),
the machine starts to receive the fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 (# 9 1 for
New Zealand) to take the call at an extension
phone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode
only) on page 39.)
If you answer a call and no
one is on the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press l 5 1 (l 9 1 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 on page 39.)

Using remote codes

Fax receive code
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine to
receive it by dialling the fax receive code l 5 1

sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax
Detect on page 39.) Your caller will have to
press Start to send the fax.

Telephone answer code
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
7
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you
pick up the call on an extension phone you
can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1
(# 9 1 for New Zealand) (make sure you
press this between the rings).
Changing the remote codes
If you want to use Remote Activation, you
have to turn on the remote codes already On
by default. The preset Fax Receive Code is
l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). The preset
Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1 (# 9 1 for
New Zealand). If you want to, you can replace
them with your own codes.
