) on the back of your printer.
If your printer does not detect a fax tone,
the answering machine will take the call.
If your printer detects a fax tone,
it automatically initiates reception of the fax.
Receiving Manually Using an Extension Telephone
This feature works best when you are using an extension telephone connected to the extension telephone socket (
) at the back of your printer. You can
receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone without having to go to the fax machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear a fax tone, press the keys
*9*
(star nine star) on the extension telephone.
The printer receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence.
If you still hear the fax tone from the remote printer,
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. The code should be one digit. For details on changing the code, see
"Available Fax Defaults Options"
.
Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode
"Distinctive Ring" is a telephone company service which enables you 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, available in combinations of long and short ringing sounds.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can "learn" the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the FAX machine. This
ringing pattern may be recognized and answered as a FAX call, and all other ringing patterns may be forwarded to the extension telephone or answering
machine plugged into the extension telephone socket (
) at the back of your printer. 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 for your telephone line by the telephone company. To set
up Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you may need another telephone line at your location, dial your FAX number from another line.
