Introduction to Using Fax Functions

This section describes the settings you need to make before using fax functions. Make sure to set the following items first:

●Your fax number

Register your machine’s fax number. (See “Registering Your Machine’s Fax Number,” on p. 5-12.)

●Your personal name or company name

Register your name or company name. (See “Registering the Machine’s Name,” on p. 5-12.)

●Time and date

Set the current time and date. (See “Setting the Current Date and Time,” on p. 5-11.)

●Your telephone line type

Set the type of telephone line that is connected to the machine. (See “Setting the Type of Telephone Line,” on p. 5-11.)

●Fax receiving mode

Set how the machine receives fax documents to suit your needs. (See “Methods for Receiving Faxes,” on p. 5-4.)

Methods for Receiving Faxes

Your machine offers several methods for receiving fax documents. You can receive documents automatically or manually. Follow the chart below to choose the fax receive mode that best suits your needs.

The default setting is <FaxOnly>.

Printing fax documents and scanning documents over the network cannot be processed at the same time. If this happens, these documents are handled differently depending on the following:

–If you scan documents when the machine is receiving fax documents, or the machine receives fax documents when scanning documents, the machine scans documents first, then starts printing the fax documents when scanning is complete.

–If you scan documents when the machine is printing received fax documents, scanning is canceled. Wait for the fax documents to be printed out, then perform the scanning operation again.
