Receiving a Fax Automatically in the Fax Mode
Your printer is preset to the fax mode at the factory.
If you receive a fax, the printer automatically goes into the fax mode after a
specified period of time and receives the fax.
To change the interval at which the printer goes into the fax mode after
receiving an incoming call, see "Available Fax Settings Options" on page 291.

Receiving a Fax Automatically in the Telephone/Fax or Ans/Fax Mode
To use the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode, you must attach an external

machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your printer,
your printer will automatically go into the Fax mode after a predefined time.

the two-digit keys on the external telephone, or set On Hook to Off and
then press the

button.
The printer receives the document.
Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from the
remote machine, try pressing the two-digit keys once again.
