• If you are receiving faxes using the Epson FAX Utility, check that your product is registered as a fax product in your operating system: Windows: Make sure the product appears in Devices and Printers, Printer, or Printers and Other Hardware. If the product does not appear, uninstall and re-install the Epson FAX Utility. Mac: Select System Preferences > Printers & Scanners (or Print & Scan or Print & Fax) and make sure your product appears. If your product does not appear, click + and add your product. If the product does appear, double-click it and make sure it is not paused. Note: Do not turn the product off while it is receiving a fax. Otherwise, the fax transmission will be lost. Note: If your product is connected to a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone line, keep in mind that fax machines are designed to work over analog phone lines. Epson cannot guarantee that fax transmission will work when using VoIP. If your phone line includes voice mail answering services, calls or faxes may be inadvertently received by your voice mail service.
