Faxing 112

Initial fax setup

Many countries and regions require outgoing faxes to contain the following information in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission: station name (identification of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message) and station number (telephone number of the sending fax machine, business, other entity, or individual).

To enter your fax setup information, use the printer control panel, or use your browser to access the Embedded Web Server and then enter the Settings menu.

Note: If you do not have a TCP/IP environment, then you must use the printer control panel to enter your fax setup information.

Using the printer control panel for fax setup

When the printer is turned on for the first time or if the printer has been off for an extended time, a series of start‑up screens appear. If the printer has fax capabilities, then the following screens appear:

Fax Name or Station Name Fax Number or Station Number

1When Fax Name or Station Name appears, enter the name to be printed on all outgoing faxes.

2After entering the Fax Name or Station Name, touch Submit.

3When Fax Number or Station Number appears, enter the printer fax number.

4After entering the Fax Number or Station Number, touch Submit.

Using the Embedded Web Server for fax setup

1Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. If you do not know the IP address of the printer, you can:

•View the IP address on the printer control panel in the TCP/IP section under the Networks/Ports menu.

•Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.

2Click Settings > Fax Settings > Analog Fax Setup.

3In the Fax Name or Station Name field, enter the name to be printed on all outgoing faxes.

4In the Fax Number or Station Number field, enter the printer fax number.

Choosing a fax connection

Notes:

•The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the telephone wall outlet. Other devices(such as a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the printer, as described in the setup steps.

•If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, then a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is required. Contact your DSL provider for a DSL filter. The DSL filter removes the digital signal on the telephone line that can interfere with the ability of the printer to fax properly.
