Setting up the printer to fax

34

Connected to different wall jacks

To connect:

Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.

Tips for this setup:

If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On).

Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.

If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.

Setup 3: Printer is sharing the line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail service

To connect:

1Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.

2Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the port.

Tips for this setup:

This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. If you have distinctive ring service, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.

If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off).

When you answer the telephone and you hear fax tones, press *9* or the manual answer code on the telephone to receive the fax.
