answering with the fax’s handset
when the reception mode is set to tel, you must answer all calls by picking up the fax machine’s handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.
1 when the fax machine rings, pick up the handset.
2 if you hear a fax tone, wait until the display shows receiving and then replace the handset.
if you have set the fax signal receive setting to no, press the start/memory key to begin reception.
3 if the other party first speaks with you and then wants to send a fax, press the start/memory key after speaking. (press your start/ memory key before the sender presses their start key.)
when receiving appears in the display, hang up.
answering with an extension phone
1 answer the extension phone when it rings.
2 if you hear a soft fax tone, wait until your fax responds (the extension phone will go dead if it is connected to your fax, or you will hear pronounced, high-pitched tones if the phone is connected to a separate wall jack), then hang up.
3 if the fax doesn't respond, or if the other party first talks to you and then wants to send a fax, press 5, *, and * on the extension phone (only on a tone dial phone). this signals the fax to begin reception. hang up.
1 your fax will not accept the signal to begin reception (5**) if a document is loaded in its feeder.
2 if you have set the fax signal receive setting to no, press 5, *, and * on the extension phone to begin reception.
changing the number for remote fax activation
if desired, you can use a number other than 5 to activate fax reception from an extension telephone. you can select any number from 0 to 9.
turning off detection of the tel/fax remote number
if you don't intend to ever activate fax reception from an extension phone, you can turn off detection of the above tel/fax remote number. this will ensure that the fax never mistakenly attempts to begin reception if it detects a signal similar to the tel/fax remote number while you are talking on an extension phone.
2 press 1 to turn on detection of the tel/fax remote number, or 2 to turn it off.
fax signal receive
your fax will automatically begin reception if you hear a soft fax tone after answering a call on your fax or an extension phone. if you use a computer fax modem to send documents on the same line, you must turn this function off in order to prevent your fax from mistakenly attempting to receive documents from the computer fax modem. follow the steps below to change the setting.
2 in 1 print
to save paper, you can have the size of your incoming faxes reduced by 55%. this will allow you to receive, for example, a 2-page document on one page (note that this may not be possible if the document pages are longer than your printing paper). to turn on this function, follow the steps below.
reception ratio
the fax has been set at the factory to automatically reduce the size of received documents to fit the size of the printing paper. this ensures that data on the edges of the document are not cut off. if desired, you can turn this function off and have received documents printed at full size.
1 if a document is too long to fit on the printing paper, the remainder will be printed on a second page. in this case, the cut-off point may occur in the middle of a line.
2 automatic reduction may not be possible if the received document is too large, contains too many fine graphics or images, or is sent at high resolution. in this case, the remainder of the document will be printed on a second page.
2 press 1 to turn on automaticreduction, or 2 to turn it off.
if you selected auto, go to step 3. if you selected 100%, go to step 4.
3 if you selected auto, select the reception ratio to be used in the event that the memory becomes full (automatic reduction is not possible when the memory is full). press 1 for 93% or 2 for 100%.
4 press the stop key to return to the date and time display.
