Set Easy Receive
If Easy Receive is On: The machine can receive a fax automatically, even if you answer the call. When the
message that your machine is receiving a fax appears on the LCD or when you hear a click on the phone line
through the handset you are using, just replace the handset. Your machine will do the rest.
If Easy Receive is Off: If you are at the machine and answer a fax call first by lifting the external handset, press
the Start button, and then select [Receive] to receive the fax. If you answered at an extension telephone,
press *51.
• If Easy Receive is set to [On], but your machine does not connect a fax call when you lift an extension
or external telephone handset, press the fax receive code *51.
• If you send faxes from a computer on the same telephone line and the machine intercepts them, set
Easy Receive to [Off].
