Receiving faxes
You can receive faxes to the device or to your computer. In general, incoming faxes to the
device are automatically answered. However, if you change the devices that are connected
to the same telephone line as the device, you must change how the device answers
incoming faxes. See
Follow the procedures in this section to manage faxes that are routed to the device.
To receive faxes when you hear fax tones
If you have a telephone line that receives both fax and telephone calls, and you hear fax
tones when you answer the telephone, you can start the receiving process in one of two
ways:
●
If you are close to the device, press
S
TART
F
AX
on the control panel.
●
When you answer any telephone connected to the line (an extension telephone) and
hear fax tones, the device should begin answering the call automatically. If not, press
1-2-3 in sequence on the telephone keypad (in tone-dialing mode only), listen for fax
transmission sounds, and then hang up.
Note
In order for the second method to work, the extension telephone setting must be set to YES.
See
Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes
to check or change the setting.
