Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP)

You may subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes with your device by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP). You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone company) if you:

Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or

Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone ports for the fax connection.

NOTE: You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the port labeled "1-LINE" on the device. This means that your connection to the Internet must be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular analog phone jacks for fax connections) or your telephone company.

Some Internet faxing services do not work properly when the device is sending and receiving faxes at high speed (33600 bps) or when sending color faxes. If you experience problems sending and receiving faxes while using an Internet fax service, use a slower fax speed and only send black-and-white faxes. You can do this by using a lower Fax Speed setting. For information on changing this setting, see Set the fax speed.
