How do I send a fax at a scheduled time?

How can I make sure that the fax answers the call before the answering machine?

To make sure the printer picks up incoming faxes, set Auto Answer to On, and then set the printer to pick up after a greater number of rings than the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after five rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.

What settings work best with digital voice mail?

Voice mail and fax can share the same telephone line if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know which telephone number was dialed, and which device you should use to answer the call.

If you do not have distinctive ring service, then set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off). This setting lets you receive both voice calls and fax calls, but works best if you use voice mail more often. You need to turn off voice mail whenever you are expecting a fax.

How do I change the resolution of the documents that I fax?

The resolution, or fax quality, of the documents that you send may affect fax transmission. The receiving fax machine may not support high resolutions and may not be able to receive your fax. You can fix this by enabling Auto Fax Conversion, but the automatic conversion may result in an unreadable fax, especially if the original document is already blurred.

Choose a fax quality that best suits the capacity of the receiving fax machine and the quality of the original document.
