Using Caller ID from the control panel

Caller ID is a service provided by some telephone companies that identifies the telephone number or the name of the person who is calling. If you subscribe to this service, it works with the printer. When you receive a fax, the telephone number or name of the person who is sending you the fax appears on the display.

Notes:
