Receiving Manually Using Remote
Receive Start Code
You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the
extension telephone without going to the fax machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax
tones, press the keys
9 on the extension telephone. The
machine receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax
tone from the remote machine, try pressing
9 once again.
9 is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first
and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle
number to whatever you choose. For details about changing the
code, see page 4.4.
Receiving Faxes
Using the DRPD Mode
“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables
a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different
telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call
you on is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist
of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This
feature is often used by answering services who answer
telephones for many different clients and need to know which
number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax
machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be
answered by the FAX machine. Unless you change it, this ringing
pattern will continue to be recognised and answered as a FAX
call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the
EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring
Pattern Detection at any time.
Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option,
Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line
by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection, you will need another telephone line at your location,
or someone available to dial your FAX number from outside.
