FAX FUNCTIONS
USING AN EXTENSION PHONE
Using an extension phone for voice calls
An extension phone connected to the machine can be used to place and receive voice calls just like a normal phone.
A extension phone can be used while another mode is being used (copying, etc.).
Activating fax reception from an extension phone (remote reception)
After receiving a call on the extension phone, you can activate fax reception from the extension phone. This is called
"remote reception". After speaking, or when you hear a fax tone through the extension phone, perform the following
procedure with the extension phone still lifted. (If you made the call, remote reception will not be possible.)
1
If you are on a pulse dial line, set your phone to issue tone signals.
Refer to your phone's manual to set the phone to issue tone signals.
If your phone is already set to issue tone signals, proceed to the next step.
2
Press the
key once and the
key twice on the extension phone.
Fax reception is activated.
3
Replace the extension phone.
• It may not be possible to make a call on your line during a power outage. This depends on the type of line
(optical line, etc.).
• If the fax reception mode is set to auto reception, you must lift the phone to answer a call before the machine
automatically begins reception. The machine is initially set to answer calls on two rings. The number of rings
can be changed to any number from 0 to 15 in the system settings. (See
"#Of Rings At. RX" (p.187)
.)
• A call cannot be placed on hold.
The following procedure is not possible if you are on a pulse dial line and your extension phone cannot produce
tone signals. To find out whether your extension phone can produce tone signals, refer to the manual for your
extension phone.
The one-digit number that is used to activate fax reception from an extension phone (initially set to "5") is called
the "remote reception number". You can change this number to any number from 0 to 9 in the system settings.
(See "Remote Reception" (p.185).)
