Operation from External Telephones
If you answer a fax call on an external phone in the EXT. jack, you can
make your machine take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When you
press the Fax Receive Code

, the machine starts to receive a fax.
(See Setting Ring Count, page 5-2 and EXT.TEL.RX, page 5-3.)
If the machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over,
use the Telephone Answer Code

to take the call at an extension
phone.
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a
fax. At the machine’s phone, press
Send/Receive

phone, press

screen displays RECEIVING) before you hang up. (Your caller will have
to press

For Fax/Telephone Mode Only
When the machine is in Fax/Telephone mode, it will use the F/T Ring
Time (double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call. If you’re at the
machine, you can lift the handset to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the
F/T Ring Time and press

between the double rings. If no one is
on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to
the machine by pressing
