Lexmark 6500 Series manual Forwarding faxes, Receiving a two-sided fax, 118, Press Fax Mode

To receive a fax with an answering machine connected to the printer:

1Make sure that the Auto Answer light is on.

2Make sure you have set the number of times the telephone rings before receiving a fax automatically. For more information, see “Setting the number of rings before receiving a fax automatically” on page 128.

When a telephone ring is detected, the answering machine picks up the call.

•If the printer detects a fax, it receives the fax and disconnects the answering machine.

•If the printer does not detect a fax, the answering machine receives the call.

3Set the answering machine to answer incoming calls before the printer does.

For example, if you set the answering machine to answer calls after three rings, set the printer to answer calls after five rings.
