Chapter 4 Receiving Documents
Receiving documents on an extension phone
If you hear a fax tone when you answer an extension phone, wait until your fax
answers with a pronounced, high-pitch tone, and then hang up. Your fax will
automatically receive the document.
If your fax does not respond within 5 seconds, noise on the line may be pre-
venting it from detecting the fax tone. In this case, manually activate fax re-
ception as described in the following paragraph.
If the other party first talks to you and then wants to send a document, press "5",
"*" and "*" if you are on a tone dial phone. If you are on a pulse dial phone,
set the handset down (do not hang up), walk over to the fax, pick up the handset,
and press the START key.
Your fax will not accept the signal to begin reception ("5", "*", and "*") if a
document is loaded in its feeder.
Comments:
If you have set Option Setting 15 to OFF and hear a fax tone when you
answer the extension phone, you must press "5", "*", and "*" if you are on
a tone dial phone, or walk over to the fax, pick up the handset, and press the
START key if you are on a pulse dial only phone.
The code used to activate fax reception from a tone dial extension phone
("5", "*", and "*") can be changed if desired. See Option Setting 5
("Tel/Fax Remote Number") in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
If you do not intend to use the code for activating fax reception, you can turn
detection of the code off by resetting Option Setting 6. This will ensure that
the fax never mistakenly attempts to begin reception if it detects a signal
which it perceives to be similar to "5", "*", and "*" while you are talking on
an extension phone.
