Tips for this setup:

•If you have only one telephone number on your line, or if you do not subscribe to a distinctive ring service, 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.
