Set Fax Detect
If Fax Detect is On: The machine receives a fax call automatically, even if you answer the call. When the
message that your machine is receiving a fax appears on the LCD or when you hear “chirps” through the
handset you are using, just replace the handset. Your machine will do the rest.
If Fax Detect is Off: If you are at the machine and answer a fax call by lifting the handset, press the Start button,
and then select [Receive] to receive the fax. If you answered at an extension or external telephone, press *51
(*91 for New Zealand).
• If Fax Detect is set to [On], but your machine does not connect a fax call when you lift an extension or
external telephone handset, press the remote activation code *51 (*91 for New Zealand).
• If you send faxes from a computer on the same telephone line and the machine intercepts them, set
Fax Detect to [Off].
1. Press [Settings] > [All Settings] > [Fax] > [Setup Receive] > [Fax Detect].
2. Press [On] (or [Off]).
