For information on setting up the device when you have a voice mail service, see Case F: Shared voice/fax line with voice mail. For information on receiving faxes manually, see Receive a fax manually. • If you have a computer dial-up modem on the same phone line with the device, check to make sure that the software that came with your modem is not set to receive faxes automatically. Modems that are set up to receive faxes automatically take over the phone line to receive all incoming faxes, which prevents the device from receiving fax calls. Solve fax problems 109
