Set the answer mode (Auto answer)
The answer mode determines whether the printer answers incoming calls.
●
Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the printer to answer faxes automatically. The printer
answers all incoming calls and faxes.
●
Turn off the Auto Answer setting if you want to receive faxes manually. You must be available to
respond in person to the incoming fax call or else the printer does not receive faxes.
To set the answer mode
1. From the printer control panel display, touch Fax.
2. Touch Setup, and then touch Preferences.
3. Touch Auto Answer to turn it on or off.
You may also access this feature by pressing
(the Fax Status button) on the Home screen.
Set the number of rings before answering
If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before incoming calls are
automatically answered.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same phone line as the
printer, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone before the printer does. The number
of rings to answer for the printer should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering
machine.
For example, set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the printer to answer in the maximum
number of rings. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering
machine answers the call and the printer monitors the line. If the printer detects fax tones, it receives the fax.
If the call is a voice call, the answering machine records the incoming message.
To set the number of rings before answering
1. From the printer control panel display, touch Fax.
2. Touch Setup, and then touch Preferences.
3. Touch Rings to Answer.
4. Touch the number of rings.
5. Touch Done to accept the setting.
Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring
Many phone companies offer a distinctive ring feature that allows you to have several phone numbers on one
phone line. When you subscribe to this service, each number is assigned a different ring pattern. You can set
up the printer to answer incoming calls that have a specific ring pattern.
