Manually receiving fax
If fax auto–answer is set to
Off
, there are two ways to accept an incoming fax and
print it with the All–in–Oneprinter. You can:
• Press the
Start
button on the All–in–One printer control panel when you pick up
the telephone handset and hear fax tones.
• Using any phone that uses the same telephone line used by the All–in–One
printer for fax, dial the Remote Access Code
234
.
Specifying a distinctive ring for fax auto–answer
If you have one phone line shared by two or more phone numbers, your telephone
service provider may be able to provide distinctive ring patterns for each phone
number. For example, if you have designated one number as the number for
receiving and sending faxes, you may have a ring pattern different than the pattern
used for the phone number used for your personal voice calls or your business voice
calls.If you have voice mail on your shared phone line that you use for sending or
receiving faxes and do not have access to distinctive ring through your telephone
service, you should disable fax auto-answer.
By using the
distinctive ring
feature on the ESP 9 All-in-One printer, when the printer
detects the ring pattern specified for incoming faxes, it will automatically answer the
call and receive the fax.
NOTE: If you use one phone number and one phone line exclusively for faxes, set
distinctive ring
to
Any
. For more information about the Fax Settings menu,
see

If two or more phone numbers are shared, set the distinctive ring feature to answer
one of the lines and set
fax auto–answer
to
On
. See
to review how to use fax auto–answer with an answering machine.

Tip: Is your All–in–One printer located in a separate room from a telephone with
the same number used by the ESP 9 All-in-One printer? If so, remember to dial
234 when you pick up the phone and hear incoming fax tones.
