If you have set your machine to this mode and your answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to EXT socket, your machine automatically goes into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
If the answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set the machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
If the machine is in Tel mode, disconnect or switch off the answering machine with the fax machine. Otherwise, the outgoing message from the answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation.

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.

*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 want.


	While you are talking over the telephone connected to the EXT socket, copy and scan features are not available.

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. 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.
