Tips for receiving faxes
When receiving faxes:
• Make sure that the printer is on and connected to a working telephone, DSL, or VoIP line. The line is working if
you hear a dial tone.
• If you set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off), then make sure that the ringer volume is not
set to Off.
• If you have set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then load paper in the printer.
