Fax over the Internet

You may subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes
with your device by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol
(FoIP). You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone company) if you:

Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or

Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone
ports for the fax connection.

NOTE:

You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the port

labeled "1-LINE" on the device. This means that your connection to the Internet must
be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular analog phone jacks
for fax connections) or your telephone company.

Some Internet faxing services do not work properly when the device is sending and
receiving faxes at high speed (33600bps). If you experience problems sending and
receiving faxes while using an Internet fax service, use a slower fax speed. You can do
this by changing the Fax Speed setting from High (the default) to Medium. For
information on changing this setting, see

Set the fax speed

.

If you have questions about internet faxing, contact your internet faxing services support
department.

Test fax setup

You can test your fax setup to check the status of the device and to make sure it is set
up properly for faxing. Perform this test after you have completed setting up the device
for faxing. The test does the following:

Tests the fax hardware

Verifies the correct type of phone cord is connected to the device

Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port

Checks for a dial tone

Checks for an active phone line

Tests the status of your phone line connection

The device prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report for
information on how to fix the problem and rerun the test.

To test fax setup
1.
Set up the device for faxing according to your particular home or office setup

instructions.

2. Make sure the print cartridges are installed, and that full-size paper is loaded in the

input tray before starting the test.
