Set fax forwarding
You can set your product to forward incoming faxes to another fax number. When the fax arrives at your
product, it is stored in the memory. The product then dials the fax number that you have specified and sends
the fax. If the product cannot forward a fax because of an error (for example, the number is busy) and
repeated redial attempts are unsuccessful, your product prints the fax.
If the product runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it terminates the incoming fax and only forwards the
pages and partial pages that have been stored in the memory.
When it is using the fax-forwarding feature, the product (rather than the computer) must be receiving the
faxes, and the answer mode must be set to Automatic .
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Fax button.
2. Touch the Fax Menu button.
3. Touch the Receive Options button.
4. Touch the Forward Fax button, and touch the On button.
5. Use the keypad to enter the fax-forwarding number, and then touch the OK button.
Set the answer mode
Depending on the situation, set the product answer mode to Automatic , TAM , Fax/Tel , or Manual . The
factory-set default is Automatic .
● Automatic : The product answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings or upon recognition of
special fax tones.
● TAM : The product does not automatically answer the call. Instead, it waits until it detects the fax tone.
● Fax/Tel : The product answers incoming calls immediately. If it detects the fax tone, it processes the call
as a fax. If it does not detect the fax tone, it creates an audible ring to alert you to answer the incoming
voice call.
● Manual : The product never answers calls. You must start the fax-receiving process yourself, either by
touching the Start Fax button on the control panel or by picking up a telephone that is connected to that
line and dialing 1-2-3.
To set or change the answer mode, complete the following steps:
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Basic Setup menu.
4. Scroll to and touch the Answer Mode button, and then touch the name of the option that you want to
use.

numbers by using the control panel. When you block a fax number and someone from that number sends you
