Receiving a Fax Automatically in the Fax Mode Your printer is preset to the fax mode at the factory. If you receive a fax, the printer automatically goes into the fax mode after a specified period of time and receives the fax. To change the interval at which the printer goes into the fax mode after receiving an incoming call, see "Available Fax Settings Options" on page 291. Receiving a Fax Manually in the Telephone Mode You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the external telephone, and then pressing the (Start) button. The printer begins receiving a fax and returns to the standby mode when the reception is completed. Receiving a Fax Automatically in the Telephone/Fax or Ans/Fax Mode To use the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode, you must attach an external telephone to the phone connector ( ) on the back of your printer. If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it would normally. If your printer hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically starts to receive a fax. NOTE: If you have set your printer to Auto Answer Fax and your answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your printer, your printer will automatically go into the Fax mode after a predefined time. Receiving a Fax Manually Using an External Telephone This feature works best when you are using an external telephone connected to the phone connector ( ) on the back of your printer. You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the external telephone without having to go to the printer. When you receive a call on the external telephone and hear fax tones, press the two-digit keys on the external telephone, or set On Hook to Off and then press the (Start) button. The printer receives the document. Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the remote machine, try pressing the two-digit keys once again. Faxing 309
