Receiving manually using an extension telephone

This features works best when you are using an extension telephone 

connected to the EXT socket on the back of your printer. You can receive a 

fax from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone without 

going to the fax printer.

* on the extension phone. The printer receives the fax.

Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the 

remote printer, try pressing *

9

* once again.

*

* 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 "Rcv Start Code" on 

page 49.

Receiving automatically in Ans/Fax mode 

To use this mode, you must attach an answering printer to the EXT socket 

on the back of your printer. 
If the caller leaves a message, the answering printer stores the message as 

it would normally. If your printer detects a fax tone on the line, it 

automatically starts to receive the fax.

Receiving faxes using DRPD mode

This setting may not be available depending on your country. 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 

printer can learn the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the fax 

printer. 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 printer 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.
