Reprint received faxes from memory
If you turn on the Backup fax Reception, received faxes are
stored in memory, whether the printer has an error condition
or not.
Note: All faxes stored in memory are deleted from
memory when you turn off the power. For more
information about using this feature, see the user guide
(which is available on your computer after you install
the software).
Receive a fax manually
When you are on the phone, the person you are speaking
with can send you a fax while you are still connected (called
“manual faxing”).
You can receive faxes manually from a phone that is
connected to the printer (through the 2-EXT port) or a phone
that is on the same phone line (but not directly connected to
the printer).
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and you have paper
loaded in the main tray.
2. Remove any originals from the document feeder tray.
3. Set the Rings to Answer setting to a high number to allow
you to answer the incoming call before the printer
answers. Or turn off the Auto Answer setting so that the
printer does not automatically answer incoming calls.
4. If you are currently on the phone with the sender, instruct
the sender to press Start on their fax machine.
5. When you hear fax tones from a sending fax machine,
do the following:
a. Touch Fax, and then select Start Black or Start
Color.
b. After the printer begins to receive the fax, you can
hang up the phone or remain on the line. The
phone line is silent during fax transmission.
1. Make sure you have paper loaded in the main tray.
2. Touch right arrow and then touch Setup.
3. Touch Tools, and then touch Reprint Faxes in Memory.
The faxes are printed in the reverse order from which they
were received with the most recently received fax printed
rst, and so on.
4. If you want to stop reprinting the faxes in memory, touch
(Cancel).

cannot be printed.
Faxes and your voice mail service
If you subscribe to a voicemail service on the same phone
line that you will use for faxing, you cannot receive faxes
automatically. Instead, you must receive make sure the
Auto Answer setting is turned off so that you can receive
faxes manually. Be sure you initiate the manual fax before
the voicemail picks up the line.
If you want to receive faxes automatically instead, contact
your telephone company to subscribe to a distinctive ring
service or to obtain a separate phone line for faxing.
Receive a fax automatically
If you turn on the Auto Answer option (the default setting)
from the printer’s control panel, the printer automatically
answers incoming calls and receives faxes after the number
of rings specied by the Rings to Answer setting. For
information about conguring this setting, see ”Step 3:
Congure fax settings” on page 8.
