automatically receives a fax. If an incoming call is not a fax, the printer beeps
from the internal speaker indicating that the call is a telephone call.

mode, the printer will monitor the fax signal and pick up the line if there are
fax tones.

ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone

faxing with a distinctive ring pattern, configure the fax setup to monitor for that
specific ring pattern.
