here.
NOTE: In some countries/regions, the fax header information is a legal requirement.
To set or change the fax header
1. Press Setup.
2. Press right arrow
to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.
3. Press right arrow
to select Fax Header, and then press OK.
4. Enter your personal or company name using the numeric keypad, and then press
OK.
5. Enter your fax number by using the numeric keypad, and then press OK.
Set the answer mode (Auto answer)
The answer mode determines whether the device answers incoming calls.
• Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the device to answer faxes
automatically. The device answers all incoming calls and faxes.
• Turn off the Auto Answer setting if you want to receive faxes manually. You must
be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call or the device does not
receive faxes.
To set the answer mode to manual or automatic via the device control panel
1. Press Setup.
2. Press right arrow
to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.
3. Press right arrow
to select Answer Options, and then press OK.
4. Press right arrow
to select Auto Answer, and then press OK.
5. Press right arrow
to select On or Off as appropriate for your setup, and then press
OK.
When Auto Answer is On, the device answers calls automatically. When Auto
Answer is Off, it does not answer calls.
Set the number of rings before answering
If you turn on the Auto Answer setting, you can specify how many rings occur before
incoming calls are automatically answered.
The Rings to Answer setting is important if you have an answering machine on the same
phone line as the device, because you want the answering machine to answer the phone
