5-4 Receiving Faxes Chapter 5
Use the telephone to receive manual calls as follows:
1. When you answer a call and hear a long beep or silence, a fax is
being sent.
2. Enter the two-digit ID code on your telephone (the default code is
25). Wait for five seconds, then hang up. The MultiPASS C5000 then
begins receiving the document.

If you have an answering machine connected to your MultiPASS C5000
and you can control your answering machine from a remote telephone,
make sure the security code for this function is different than the two-
digit ID code described above. You change the two-digit ID code used by
the MultiPASS C5000 to make it distinct from the answering machine’s
security code. See page 8-10.
Using an Answering Machine—Ans. Machine Mode
Connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS C5000 allows you
to receive faxes and phone messages while you are out of the office.
In Answer Machine Mode, the MultiPASS C5000 allows the answering
machine to answer incoming calls, then listens for a fax tone or for four
seconds of silence (also an indication that a fax is coming in), and
automatically receives the fax if it detects the tone or a four-second
silence. (Four seconds is the default; you can change this value.)

Canon does not recommend using an “answering service” (like those
offered by local telephone companies that provide voice mail) on the
telephone line you are connecting to the MultiPASS C5000. If you do
subscribe to an answering service, you may want to dedicate a separate
line for fax communication only and connect that line to the MultiPASS
C5000. Or, you can see if your telephone company offers a Distinctive
Ring Pattern (DRP) service (see page 5-9 for details).
