Fax Detect

If Fax Detect is On:
The machine can receive a fax automatically,
even if you answer the call. When you see
Receiving on the LCD or hear a click on the
phone line through the handset you are
using, just replace the handset. Your
machine will do the rest.
If Fax Detect is Off:
If you are at the machine and answer a fax
call first by lifting the external handset, then
press Start. (If you set Fax Mode to
Advanced Mode, press Start and then
press 2 to receive a fax)
If you answered at an extension telephone
press l51. (See Operation from external or
extension telephones uu page 37.)
Note
• You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Remote Activation
Code l51. (See Using Remote Codes
uu page 38.)
• If this feature is set to On, but your
machine does not connect a fax call when
you lift an extension telephone handset,
press the Remote Activation Code l51.
• If you send faxes from a computer on the
same telephone line and the machine
intercepts them, set Fax Detect to Off.
• We do not recommend having a PC plus
fax machine on the same line.
