Use the Paging option if you want your machine to dial a pre-programed cell phone or pager number. This
feature activates your cell phone or pager so you will know there is a fax message in the machine’s memory.
• This feature is available only for black and white faxes.
• This feature is available only in the USA and Canada.
If you turn on Paging, a backup copy of the incoming fax will be printed automatically. You cannot change a
pager number, cell phone number, or PIN remotely.
