The printer begins receiving a fax and returns to the standby mode when the
reception is completed.
Receiving a Fax Automatically in the Telephone/Fax or Ans
Machine/Fax
To use the
Telephone/Fax
or
Ans Machine/Fax
mode, you must
connect an external telephone to the phone connector ( ) on the back of your
printer.
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it
would normally. If your printer hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically
starts to receive a fax.
NOTE:
If you have set your printer to Ans Machine/Fax and your
answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your
printer, your printer will automatically go into the
Fax mode after a predefined
time.
Receiving a Fax Manually Using an External Telephone
This feature works best when you are using an external telephone connected to
the phone connector (
) on the back of your printer. You can receive a fax
from someone you are talking to on the external telephone without having to go
to the printer.
When you receive a call on the external telephone and hear fax tones, press the
two-digit keys on the external telephone, or set
OnHook
to
Off
and then press
the (Start) button.
The printer receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the
remote machine, try pressing the two-digit keys once again.
The remote receive code is set to
Off
at the factory. You can change the two-
digit number to whatever you choose. For details on changing the code, see
"Available Fax Settings Options."
NOTE:
Set the dialing system of your external telephone to DTMF.
