When receivingor printing faxes, always make sure that the paper tray is loaded with the desired paper. After closing the tray, ensure that this paper is selected on the printer control panel.

Receive a fax automatically

By default, the printer automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes, after the number of rings specified in the Rings to Answer setting.

If an answering machine is connected to the printer, the Rings to Answer setting for the printer must be set to a higher number than the answering machine.

If you have subscribed to a voicemail service on the same phone line that you will use for faxing, you cannot receive faxes automatically. You must respond in person to incoming fax calls. (If you want to receive faxes automatically, contact your phone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring service or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.)

Receive a fax manually
