Receiving Faxes Automatically (Auto Answer)
To receive and print faxes automatically, you can turn on Auto Answer mode.
If an answering machine is connected, make sure the product's Rings to Answer setting is set higher
than the number of rings your answering machine is set to answer a call. For example, if the answering
machine is set to pick up on the fourth ring, set the product to pick up on the fifth ring or later.
If a telephone is connected, and you use it to answer a call that turns out to be a fax, wait until the
product's LCD screen displays a message that a connection has been made before hanging up.
