Receiving faxes manually using an extension telephone
This feature works best when you are using an extension telephone connected to the EXT socket on the back of your
machine. You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone, without going to the
fax machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the keys *9* on the extension phone.
The machine receives the fax.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, 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 wish. For details about changing the code, see
Changing the fax setup options
Receiving faxes using DRPD mode
Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables an user to use a single telephone line to answer
several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different
ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This feature is often used
by answering services who answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which number someone is
calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature, your fax machine can learn the ring pattern you
designate to be answered. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as
a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged
into the EXT socket. You can easily suspend or change DRPD at any time.
Before using the DRPD option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone
company. To set up DRPD, you will need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial your
fax number from outside.

When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The machine requires several rings to learn the
pattern.
When the machine completes learning, the display shows
Completed DRPD Setup
. If the DRPD setup fails,
Error DRPD Ring
appears.
Press OK when DRPD appears and start over from step 6.
DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or connect the machine to another
telephone line.
After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the machine answers with a fax
tone. Then have a call placed to a different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is
forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT socket.
