| Note: | You must set up the equipment as shown in Connecting to an answering machine. |
To receive a fax with an answering machine connected to the printer:
Make sure that the Auto Answer function is on.
| Note: | An indicator, resembling a telephone handset with the word under it, is shown in the top left corner of the display when Auto Answer is on. |
Make sure you have set the number of times the telephone rings before receiving a fax automatically. For more information, see Setting the number of rings before receiving a fax automatically
When a telephone ring is detected, the answering machine picks up the call.
If the printer detects a fax, it receives the fax and disconnects the answering machine.
If the printer does not detect a fax, the answering machine receives the call.
Set the answering machine to answer incoming calls before the printer does.
For example, if you set the answering machine to answer calls after three rings, set the printer to answer calls after five rings.
