Other ways to set up your fax You can receive faxes to the all-in-one or to your computer. In general, incoming faxes to the all-inone are automatically answered. However, if you change the devices that are connected to the same telephone line as the all-in-one, you must change how the all-in-one answers incoming faxes. See Setting the answer mode for instructions. Follow the procedures in this section to manage faxes that are routed to the all-in-one. To receive faxes when you hear fax tones If you have a telephone line that receives both fax and telephone calls, and you hear fax tones when you answer the telephone, you can start the receiving process in one of two ways: ● If you are close to the all-in-one, press Start Fax on the control panel. ● When you answer any telephone connected to the line (an extension telephone) and hear fax tones, the all-in-one should begin answering the call automatically. If not, press 1-2-3 in sequence on the telephone keypad (in tone-dialing mode only), listen for fax transmission sounds, and then hang up. NOTE In order for the second method to work, the extension telephone setting must be set to YES. See Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes to check or change the setting. Setting the answer mode Depending on your situation, you can set the all-in-one answer mode to Automatic or Manual. The factory-set default is Automatic. ● Automatic: In this answer mode, the all-in-one answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones. To specify the number of rings, see Changing the rings-to-answer setting. ● Manual: In this answer mode, the all-in-one never answers calls. You must start the faxreceiving process yourself, either by pressing Start Fax on the control panel or by picking up a telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3 (in tone-dial mode only). NOTE Although most users leave the answer mode set to Automatic, voice callers who dial the fax telephone number will hear fax tones if the telephone is not answered, or if they do not hang up by the specified number of rings-to-answer. If you do not want voice callers to hear fax tones, use the Manual setting. But remember that fax calls are not received automatically when the mode is set to Manual. To set the answer mode To set or change the answer mode, complete the following steps: 1. On the all-in-one control panel, press Menu. 2. Use the < or the > button to select Fax setup, and then press . 3. Use the < or the > button to select Fax Recv. setup, and then press . 4. Press to select Answer mode. 102 Chapter 6 Fax ENWW
