Receiving a fax

You can set up your printer to receive faxes automatically or manually. Even if your printer is set up to receive faxes automatically, you can still receive them manually at any time.

Receiving a fax automatically

  1. Load letter (8.5 x 11 in. / 22 x 28 cm) or A4 (8.3 x 11.7 in. / 21 x 30 cm) plain paper into the main paper tray (see Loading plain paper).

  2. Make sure the Fax Auto-Answer is set to On (see Setting the answer mode (auto answer or manual)).

The printer will receive all incoming faxes automatically.

IMPORTANT: Whenever there is an incoming fax, the printer LCD shows the message, "Incoming Call. (Name and number if available)." When Auto-Answer is turned on, you do not need to touch Answer now on the LCD to receive the fax. The printer will automatically receive the fax after the number of rings that you selected (see Rings to Answer in the table under Selecting fax settings). However, you may choose to receive the fax sooner by touching Answer now on the LCD. (Whether the fax is color or black and white is determined by the sender.)

Receiving a fax manually

If Auto-Answer is turned off, you can receive incoming faxes manually. You can receive any incoming fax manually, even if Auto-Answer is turned on.

To receive a fax manually:

  • When you hear the phone ring, touch Answer now on the LCD.

If your printer is connected to the same phone line as another telephone and you are using tone dialing (see Dialing Mode in the table under Selecting fax settings), you can receive an incoming fax manually from another phone. When you hear the distinctive ring of your fax line or know that the incoming call is a fax:

  • Pick up any phone and dial 234 (the remote access code).
