Setting Up Your Printer

If neither of these configurations is available to you, you cannot accept faxes on your printer in the Fax Auto–Answer mode. You can accept them manually, though. See “Manually receiving fax” on page 36.

Using an answering machine with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax

If you use an answering machine to retrieve and record messages from telephone callers when you are not available to pick up the handset, you can set up your telephone to work with both the answering machine and the printer.

However, because answering machines cannot recognize fax calls or record fax signals for conversion later to a fax printout, care must be taken if you plan to accept fax calls automatically.

Before using your printer to accept faxes automatically when you are also using an answering machine, make sure the answering machine is connected correctly to the printer (see the illustrtations that follow). Make sure the answering machine is set to answer calls before the printer. See “Specifying Rings to Answer” on page 35

Connecting the printer to a digital telephone service line

If the telephone line you intend to use for faxing through the All-in-One printer is configured to either an Internet phone service or to a cable phone service, connect your printer to the phone as described below:

1Disconnect the phone cord from the wall jack that connects your modem to the telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled LINE-Inon your printer.

2If you use an answering machine:

Connect your answering machine to the EXT-Outport on the back of your All-in- One printer.

Caution: The answering machine should be set to a fewer number of rings than the Rings to Answer setting. This will ensure that the answering machine picks up first. See “Specifying Rings to Answer” on page 35.
