Receiving faxes

You can receive faxes to the device or to your computer. In general, incoming faxes to the device are automatically answered. However, if you change the devices that are connected to the same telephone line as the device, you must change how the device answers incoming faxes. See Setting the answer mode for instructions.

Follow the procedures in this section to manage faxes that are routed to the device.

To receive faxes when you hear fax tones

If you have a telephone line that receives both fax and telephone calls, and you hear fax tones when you answer the telephone, you can start the receiving process in one of two ways:

●If you are close to the device, press START FAX on the control panel.

●When you answer any telephone connected to the line (an extension telephone) and hear fax tones, the device should begin answering the call automatically. If not, press 1-2-3 in sequence on the telephone keypad (in tone-dialing mode only), listen for fax transmission sounds, and then hang up.

Note	In order for the second method to work, the extension telephone setting must be set to YES.
	See Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes to check or change the setting.
