When do I need to set Auto Answer to On?

Auto Answer is set to On by default, which lets the printer receive faxes automatically.

If the printer is connected to the same telephone line with an answering machine, then you must set Auto Answer to On so that you can receive both your voice calls and your faxes. Make sure that the answering machine is set to pick up on fewer rings than the rings set in the printer. This lets the other devices pick up the voice calls first. If an incoming call is a fax, the printer can detect fax signals on the line and takes the call.

How many rings should I set?

If the printer is sharing a line with an answering machine, 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 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 that you want.

How do I set the distinctive ring for the printer?

Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature offered by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (single ring, double ring, triple ring, or double and triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know what telephone number was dialed, and what device you should use to answer the call.

Assign one of your telephone numbers to the printer as the fax number, and then set the printer to answer the ring pattern of that number. If the pattern is set incorrectly, then the printer rings, but does not receive the fax.

Distinctive Ring is also called Ident-a-Call, Smart Ring, Teen Ring, RingMaster, and IdentaRing.

1From the home screen, navigate to:

> Fax Setup > Ringing and Answering > Ring Pattern

2Touch the correct ring pattern for the printer, and then touch Accept.

How can I check the dial tone?

A dial tone lets you know if the telephone line is working or if the printer is properly connected to the telephone line. If you encounter problems sending and receiving faxes, then make sure you can hear a dial tone on the line and through the printer.

Make sure the telephone line and the wall jack are working

1Plug an analog telephone into the wall jack.

2Listen for a dial tone through the telephone handset.

If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line and the wall jack are working.

If you do not hear a dial tone, plug the analog telephone into a second wall jack, and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line is working but the first wall jack is not working.
