Note: If you have set Option Setting 13 (Fax Signal Receive) to NO and you
hear a fax tone when you pick up the handset, you must press the START
key to begin reception.
Receiving documents on an extension phone
If you hear a soft fax tone when you answer an extension phone, wait until your
fax answers (the extension phone will go dead if it is connected to your fax, or
you will hear pronounced high-pitched fax tones if the phone is connected to a
separate wall jack), and then hang up. Your fax will automatically receive the
document.
♦
If your fax does not respond within 5 seconds, noise on the line may be pre-
venting it from detecting the fax tone. In this case, manually activate fax re-
ception as described in the following paragraph.
If the other party first talks to you and then wants to send a document, press "5",
"
*" and "*" if you are on a touch tone phone. If you are on a pulse dial phone,
set the handset down (do not hang up), walk over to the fax, pick up the hand-
set, and press the START key.
Comments:
•
Your fax will not accept the signal to begin reception ("5", "
*", and "*") if
a document is loaded in its feeder.
•
If you have set Option Setting 13 to NO and hear a fax tone when you
answer the extension phone, you must press "5", "
*", and "*" if you are on
a touch-tone phone, or walk over to the fax, pick up the handset, and press
the START key if you are on a pulse dial phone.
•
The code used to activate fax reception from a touch-tone extension phone
("5", "
*", and "*") can be changed if desired. See Option Setting 5
("Tel/Fax Remote Number") in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
•
If you do not intend to use the code for activating fax reception, you can turn
detection of the code off by resetting Option Setting 6. This will ensure that
the fax never mistakenly attempts to begin reception if it detects a signal
similar to "5", "
*", and "*" while you are talking on an extension phone.
