Receiving faxes
Depending on how you set up the all-in-one, you can receive faxes automatically or manually
(see
Setting the answer mode (autoanswer) for more information).
z Automatic answer mode (autoanswer on)
The all-in-one answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings or upon
recognition of special fax tones.
z Manual answer mode (autoanswer off)
The all-in-one never answers calls. You must start the receiving process yourself.
If you receive a legal-size fax and the all-in-one is not currently loaded with legal-size paper,
the all-in-one automatically reduces the fax so that it fits on the paper that is loaded, unless
you have turning off the auto-reduction feature. See
Automatically reducing incoming faxes for
more information.

Receiving a fax automatically or manually
To receive a fax automatically
The setting for autoanswer must be set to on in order for you to receive faxes automatically.
See
Setting the answer mode (autoanswer) for information about how verify the setting and
change the setting, if needed.
To receive a fax manually
The setting for autoanswer must be set to off in order for you to receive faxes manually. See
Setting the answer mode (autoanswer) for information about how to verify the setting and
change the setting, if needed.
When receiving faxes manually, you must be available to respond in person to the incoming
fax call, or your all-in-one cannot receive faxes.
When the all-in-one rings, press R EDIAL /A NSWER on the control panel.
Reprinting received faxes that are stored in memory
You might occasionally want to print another copy of a fax that has been received (for
example, if the print quality of the original fax was poor). The all-in-one stores as many
received faxes as can be held in its memory. The maximum number is about 50 (representing
about 250 pages). When the memory capacity is reached, the oldest faxes are removed to
make room for the newer faxes.
You can choose to print the last fax that has been received, that last five faxes that have been
received, or all of the faxes that are stored in memory.
