1From the printer control panel, navigate to:

> Setup > > Fax Setup > > Ringing and Answering > > Manual Pickup Code >

2Copy the manual answer code that appears on the display.

Note: To increase the security, you can change your manual pickup code to a number that only you know. You can enter up to 7 characters for your code. The valid characters are the digits 0–9 and the characters # and *.
