If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine into the
correct socket on the machine, you can make
your machine take the call by using the Fax
Receive Code. When you press the Fax
Receive Code l51, the machine starts to
receive the fax. (See Fax Detect on page 42.)
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:

You should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
a Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until
the machine’s LCD shows Receiving,
and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine tactically take the call.
(See Fax Detect on page 42.)
For Fax/Tel mode only 7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and
then press Tel/R to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you will need
to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time
and then press #51 between the
pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line,
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send
the call back to the machine by pressing l51.
Connecting an external or
extension phone 7
You can connect a separate telephone
directly to your machine as shown in the
diagram below.

2 External telephone
When you are using an external telephone,
the LCD shows Telephone.
Using extension telephones (U.K.
only) 7
Your premises may already be wired with
parallel extension telephones (those
connected to sockets in other rooms in the
building), or perhaps you intend to add
extension telephones to your line. While the
simplest arrangement is a parallel
connection, there are some reasons why this
arrangement may cause problems.
The most common problem, is someone
picking up an extension telephone while the
machine is trying to send a fax.
Such problems can easily be eliminated, if
you arrange modification of your extension
wiring circuit, such that extension devices are
connected “downstream of your machine, in
a master/slave configuration (see figure 2). In
such a configuration, this machine can
always detect whether a telephone is in use,
so it will not attempt to seize the line during
that time. This is known as telephone off-
hook detection”.
