Other ways to set up your fax

You can receive faxes to the all-in-one or to your computer. In general, incoming faxes to the all-in-

one are automatically answered. However, if you change the devices that are connected to the same

telephone line as the all-in-one, you must change how the all-in-one answers incoming faxes. See

Setting the answer mode for instructions.

Follow the procedures in this section to manage faxes that are routed to the all-in-one.

To receive faxes when you hear fax tones

If you have a telephone line that receives both fax and telephone calls, and you hear fax tones when

you answer the telephone, you can start the receiving process in one of two ways:

●

If you are close to the all-in-one, press Start Fax on the control panel.

●

When you answer any telephone connected to the line (an extension telephone) and hear fax

tones, the all-in-one should begin answering the call automatically. If not, press 1-2-3 in

sequence on the telephone keypad (in tone-dialing mode only), listen for fax transmission

sounds, and then hang up.

NOTE In order for the second method to work, the extension telephone setting must be set

to YES. See

Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes to check or change the

setting.

Setting the answer mode

Depending on your situation, you can set the all-in-one answer mode to Automatic or Manual. The

factory-set default is Automatic.

●

Automatic: In this answer mode, the all-in-one answers incoming calls after a specified number

of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones. To specify the number of rings, see

Changing

the rings-to-answer setting.

●

Manual: In this answer mode, the all-in-one never answers calls. You must start the fax-

receiving process yourself, either by pressing Start Fax on the control panel or by picking up a

telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3 (in tone-dial mode only).

NOTE Although most users leave the answer mode set to Automatic, voice callers who dial

the fax telephone number will hear fax tones if the telephone is not answered, or if they do not

hang up by the specified number of rings-to-answer. If you do not want voice callers to hear

fax tones, use the Manual setting. But remember that fax calls are not received automatically

when the mode is set to Manual.

To set the answer mode

To set or change the answer mode, complete the following steps:

1. On the all-in-one control panel, press Menu.

Use the < or the > button to select Fax setup, and then press

Use the < or the > button to select Fax Recv. setup, and then press

Press

to select Answer mode.
