Receiving a Fax
About Receiving Modes
NOTE: To use the Ans/Fax mode, attach an answering machine to the extension
telephone socket ( ) on the back of your printer.
When the memory is full, the printer can no longer receive any incoming fax. Secure free
memory to resume by canceling printing received faxes.
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-, A4-, or Legal-sized
paper. For details about loading paper, see "
Loading Paper". For details about setting the
paper type and size in the tray, see "
Setting the Paper Type" and "Setting the Paper Size".
Receiving Automatically in the Fax Mode
Your printer is preset to the fax mode at the factory.
When you receive a fax, the printer answers the call on a specified number of rings and
automatically receives the fax.
To change the number of rings, see "
Available Fax Defaults Options".
If you want to adjust the ringer volume, see "
Setting the Sound/Volume (Administrator
only)".
Receiving Automatically in the Ans/Fax Mode
If you are using an answering machine in this mode, attach it to the extension telephone
socket ( ) on the back of your printer.
If your printer does not detect a fax tone, the answering machine will take the call. If your
printer detects a fax tone, it automatically initiates reception of the fax.
NOTE: If you have set your printer to Ans/Fax mode and your answering machine is
switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your machine, your printer
may automatically go into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
Receiving Manually Using an Extension Telephone

someone you are talking to on the extension telephone without having to go to the fax
machine.
When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones, press the keys
*9*
(star
nine star) on the extension telephone.
