If you receive a fax, the printer automatically goes into the fax receive mode after a specified period of
time and receives the fax.
To change the interval at which the printer goes into the fax receive mode after receiving an incoming
call, see “Auto Answer Fax” on page 258.
Receiving a Fax Manually in the TEL Mode
You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the external telephone, and then pressing the
(Start) button.
The printer begins receiving a fax and returns to the standby mode when the reception is completed.
Receiving a Fax Automatically in the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode
To use TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode, you must attach an external telephone to the phone
connector (
) on the back of your printer.
In the TEL/FAX Mode, if the printer receives an incoming fax, the external telephone rings for the time
specified in Auto Ans. TEL/FAX, and then the printer automatically receives a fax.
In the Ans/FAX Mode, if the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it
would normally. If your printer hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive a fax.
Note:
If you have set Auto Answer Fax and your answering machine is turned off, or no answering machine
is connected to your printer, your printer will automatically go into the fax receive mode after a
predefined time.
