Receiving Faxes Manually: Manual Mode
To use this mode, you must have the optional handset or a telephone connected to the machine.
See “Connecting the Telephone Line,” on p. 1-7. In Manual Mode, the machine rings every time it
receives a call, whether the call is from a telephone or a fax machine.
NOTE
Make sure the <REMOTE RX> setting in the <RX SETTINGS> menu is enabled. See p. 10-11 for detail.
If you use your machine with Manual Mode, answer incoming calls as follows:
1
When the optional handset or the telephone rings, pick up the receiver.
●
If you hear a person’s voice:
❑
Start your conversation. If the caller wants to send a document after talking to you, ask them to press the
start button on their fax machine. When you hear a beep, press [Start] to begin receiving the document, then
hang up.
●
If you hear a slow beep or silence:
❑
A fax machine is trying to send you a document.
Press [Start] on the machine
➞
hang up.
-or-
Enter the two-digit ID code from the telephone, then hang up.
•
The machine then begins receiving the document. (This is particularly convenient if your telephone is located
away from the machine.)
•
If you do not hang up after pressing [Start] or the two-digit ID code, the machine beeps intermittently for a few
seconds after you receive the document. (You can turn the beeping off by disabling the <OFFHOOK ALARM>
in the <USER SETTINGS> menu. See p. 10-7.)
NOTE
If you have an answering machine connected to your machine that can carry out remote-control operations
(controlling your answering machine from a remote telephone), the security code for this function may be the
same as the two-digit ID code described above. If so, make sure you change the machine two-digit ID code to
make it distinct from the answering machine’s security code. See p. 10-11 for details on changing the code
(<REMOTE RX ID>) setting.
