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

1Make sure that Auto Answer is on. For more information, see “Setting Auto Answer to On” on page 132.

Note: An indicator, resembling a telephone handset with the word FAX under it, is shown in the top left corner of the display when Auto Answer is on.

2Make sure you have set the number of times the telephone rings before receiving a fax automatically. See “Setting the number of rings before receiving a fax automatically” on page 135.

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.
