Faxing 129 Setup 3: Scanner is sharing the line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail service To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the scanner to the port of the scanner. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. 3 Connect the telephone to the port of the scanner. Tips for this setup: • This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. If you have distinctive ring service, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the scanner. Otherwise, the scanner does not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically. • If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the scanner to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off). When you answer the telephone and you hear fax tones, press *9* or the manual answer code on the telephone to receive the fax. • You can also set the scanner to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), but you need to turn off the voice mail service when you are expecting a fax. This setting works best if you are using voice mail more often than fax.
