Receive a fax
You can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn off the Auto Answer option, you must receive
faxes manually. If you turn on the Auto Answer option (the default setting), the printer automatically answers
incoming calls and receives faxes after the number of rings that are specified by the Rings to Answer setting.
(The default Rings to Answer setting is five rings.)
If you receive a Legal-size or larger fax and the printer is not currently set to use Legal-size paper, the printer
reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded. If you have disabled the Automatic Reduction
feature, the printer prints the fax on two pages.
NOTE:
If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the printer memory until the
copying finishes.

incoming calls.
