Verify the printer fax settings • To use a voice-mail service from the phone company or service provider, make sure that the printer Rings to Answer setting is set to be fewer rings than the telephone answering machine. • If multiple phone numbers are assigned to the same physical phone line and the line is shared by multiple devices, make sure that the printer is set to the correct distinctive ring setting. Use a setting in which the printer answers faxes and ignores other ring types. • Configuring the Fax Speed setting to Medium (V.17) or Slow (V.29) can also improve your ability to send a fax. 4
