Receiving faxes automatically

1Make sure that Auto Answer is on:

aFrom the home screen, navigate to:

> Fax Setup > Ringing and Answering > Auto Answer

bIf Auto Answer is not set to On, touch On, and then touch Accept.

2Set the number of rings before the printer picks up incoming faxes:

aTouch Pick Up On.

bSet the number of rings, and then touch Accept to save the setting.

When the number of rings you set is detected, the printer automatically receives the incoming fax.

Warning—Potential Damage: Do not touch the cables or the and ports while receiving a fax.

Tips:

If the printer is sharing the line with other analog devices (telephone, answering machine), then set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six 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. If the printer is on a dedicated fax line, then you may set the printer to pick up on any number of rings.

If you have multiple numbers on a single line, or if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.

Receiving faxes manually

1Make sure that Auto Answer is off:

aFrom the home screen, navigate to:

> Fax Setup > Ringing and Answering > Auto Answer

bIf Auto Answer is not set to Off, touch Off, and then touch Accept.

2When the telephone rings and you hear fax tones when you pick up the handset, press on the printer or *9* on the telephone attached to the printer.

Note: The default code for answering faxes manually is *9*, but for increased security, you can change it to a number that only you know. You can enter up to 7 characters for your code. The valid characters are the digits 0–9 and the characters # and *.

Warning—Potential Damage: Do not touch the cables or the and ports while actively receiving a fax.

If I skipped the fax setup initially, do I need to run the installer again to set up the printer to fax?
