Fax Detect

If Fax Detect is On:
The machine receives a fax call automatically,
even if you answer the call. When you see
Receiving on the LCD or when you hear
"chirps" through the handset you are using,
just replace the handset. Your machine will do
the rest.
If Fax Detect is Semi:
The machine will only receive a fax call
automatically if you answered it using the
machine's handset, cordless handset or
Speaker Phone. If you answered at an
extension telephone, press l 5 1 (l 9 1 for
New Zealand). (See Operation from
extension telephones on page 56.)
If Fax Detect is Off:
If you are at the machine and answer a fax call
by lifting the handset or cordless handset,
press Mono Start or Colour Start, then press
2 to receive the fax.
If you answered at an extension telephone,
press l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand). (See
Operation from extension telephones
on page 56.)
Note
• If this feature is set to On, but your
machine does not connect a fax call when
you lift an extension or external telephone
handset, press the remote activation code
l 5 1 (l 9 1 for New Zealand).
• If you send faxes from a computer on the
same telephone line and the machine
intercepts them, set Fax Detect to Off.
• (MFC-885CW) If you typically carry the
cordless handset away from the machine,
we recommend that you turn on Fax Detect.
If Fax Detect is turned off and you answer a
fax call, you will have to go to the machine
and press Mono Start or Colour Start.
