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.
NOTE:
If you are copying a document when a fax arrives, the fax is stored in the printer memory
until the copying finishes. This can reduce the number of fax pages stored in memory.

Receive a fax manually
When you are on the phone, the person you are speaking with can send you a fax while you are still
connected. This is referred to as manual faxing. Use the instructions in this section to receive
a manual fax.
NOTE:
You can pick up the handset to talk or listen for fax tones.
You can receive faxes manually from a phone that is:
●
Directly connected to the printer (on the 2-EXT port)
●
On the same phone line, but not directly connected to the printer
To receive a fax manually

automatically answer incoming calls.

their fax machine.

From the Home screen on the printer display, press the Up and Down buttons to select
Fax, press OK, and then select Receive Fax Manually.
