Receiving Faxes Manually

Choose this mode if:

• you only have one telephone line for fax and telephone use.
• you receive mainly voice calls and sometimes faxes.

It is recommended to:

• connect a telephone to your machine.
• set the printer to [Tel priority mode].

Note:

• A cordless phone connected to the All-in-one printer is the most efficient way to receive faxes manually. This would allow you to use the Remote RX feature of the printer.

• Although you can manually receive a fax in any receive mode, Tel priority mode may be the best receive mode to manually receive a fax.

When you receive a fax call:

1. The telephone attached to the fax will ring if Incoming ring is set to ON.
   
   
2. Answer the call using the phone attached to the printer.
   
   
3. If you hear beep tones, press the <FAX> button and then press <Black> or <Color> on the printer to receive the fax.

When you receive a voice call:

1. The telephone attached to the fax will ring if Incoming ring is set to ON.
2. Answer the call using the phone attached to the printer.
   
   
3. Speak to the remote party as you would on any phone call.

For remote receiving:

1. If you are far from your machine, dial 25 (the Remote RX ID) on the telephone attached to the printer to receive the fax.
   
2. If you do not have a phone attached to the printer, press the <FAX> button on printer.
   
   
3. Press the <Hook> button and then press <Black> or <Color> on the printer to receive the fax.
   
   

Note: The telephone being used, such as a base station for a cordless phone, must be connected through the fax for the remote receiving function to work.

1. Connect a line cord from the telephone wall jack (A) to the [L] jack on the fax machine.
   
   
   
   
2. Connect a line cord from the extension telephone port on the fax machine (top jack) to an external telephone or answering machine. Click here to see other external telephone device configurations.
