About Receiving Modes
NOTE:
• To use the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode, connect an external telephone or answering machine to the phone connector
()
on the rear of your printer.
When the memory is full, you cannot receive a fax automatically. Use an external telephone to receive a fax
manually.

Loading Paper for Receiving Faxes
The instructions for loading paper in the paper tray are the same whether you are printing, faxing, or copying, except
that faxes can only be printed on Letter-sized, A4-sized, or Legal-sized paper.

Receiving a Fax Automatically in the FAX Mode
Your printer is preset to the FAX Mode at the factory.
If you receive a fax, the printer automatically goes into the FAX Mode after a specified period of time and receives
the fax.
To change the interval at which the printer goes into the FAX Mode after receiving an incoming call, see "Available
Fax Settings Options" on page 273.
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 remote receive
code (see "Available Fax Settings Options" on page 273), or by selecting Manual Receive in OnHook (you can
hear voice or fax tones from the remote machine) and then pressing the (Start) button.
The printer begins receiving a fax and returns to the standby mode when the reception is completed.
