Receiving Faxes

Receiving Faxes Automatically

To receive faxes automatically, set the receiving mode to automatic (turn on the Auto Answer setting). The
icon on the home screen lights up. The printer will automatically start to receives a fax after the set number of rings
occurs.
Important:
c
❏ Make sure to turn on Auto Answer when you do not connect a telephone to the printer, or you cannot receive
faxes.
❏ When you are connecting an answering machine to the printer, make sure to set the Rings to Answer setting to a
higher number than the number of rings set for the answering machine. Otherwise, the answering machine
cannot receive voice calls and record voice messages.
❏ Keep A4 size plain paper loaded in paper cassette 2 to print received faxes unless you have set to save received
faxes to the printer's inbox instead of printing.
Note:
❏ If you have subscribed to a distinctive ring service from your telephone company, set the DRD setting so that you can
distinguish between a fax call and a voice call by the ring pattern.
❏ You can set to save received faxes in the printer's inbox, an external memory device, or on a computer.
❏ You can set to stop printing faxes or fax reports during a specific period using the Print Suspend Time setting in the fax
print settings. You can use this feature to prevent the printer from making noise during the night and so on.
