Receiving Faxes Manually: Manual Mode

To use this mode, you must have the optional handset or a telephone connected to the machine.
See "Connecting the Telephone Line," on p. 1-7. In Manual Mode, the machine rings every time it
receives a call, whether the call is from a telephone or a fax machine.
NOTE
Make sure the <REMOTE RX> setting in the <RX SETTINGS> menu is enabled. See p. 10-11 for detail.
If you use your machine with Manual Mode, answer incoming calls as follows:
1
When the optional handset or the telephone rings, pick up the receiver.
If you hear a person's voice:
Start your conversation. If the caller wants to send a document after talking to you, ask them to press the
start button on their fax machine. When you hear a beep, press [Start] to begin receiving the document, then
hang up.
If you hear a slow beep or silence:
A fax machine is trying to send you a document.
Press [Start] on the machine
-or-
Enter the two-digit ID code from the telephone, then hang up.
The machine then begins receiving the document. (This is particularly convenient if your telephone is located
away from the machine.)
If you do not hang up after pressing [Start] or the two-digit ID code, the machine beeps intermittently for a few
seconds after you receive the document. (You can turn the beeping off by disabling the <OFFHOOK ALARM>
in the <USER SETTINGS> menu. See p. 10-7.)
NOTE
If you have an answering machine connected to your machine that can carry out remote-control operations
(controlling your answering machine from a remote telephone), the security code for this function may be the
same as the two-digit ID code described above. If so, make sure you change the machine two-digit ID code to
make it distinct from the answering machine's security code. See p. 10-11 for details on changing the code
(<REMOTE RX ID>) setting.
