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 then begins
receiving the document.

If you have an answering machine connected to your MultiPASS 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 to make it distinct from the answering machine’s security
code. See “Setting Up Advanced Receive Fax Options” in Chapter 3,
Using the MultiPASS Fax Setup Utility
.
Using an Answering Machine—Ans. Machine Mode
Connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS allows you to
receive faxes and phone messages while you are out of the office.
In Answer Machine Mode, the MultiPASS 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.)
N
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. 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. Or, you
can see if your telephone company offers a Distinctive Ring Pattern
(DRP) service (see “Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection
(DRPD) Feature” later in this chapter).
