Set fax forwarding
You can set your product to forward incoming faxes to another fax number. When the fax arrives at
your product, it is stored in the memory. The product then dials the fax number that you have specified
and sends the fax. If the product cannot forward a fax because of an error (for example, the number is
busy) and repeated redial attempts are unsuccessful, your product prints the fax.
If the product runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it terminates the incoming fax and only
forwards the pages and partial pages that have been stored in the memory.
When it is using the fax-forwarding feature, the product (rather than the computer) must be receiving
the faxes, and the answer mode must be set to Automatic.
1. From the Home screen, touch the Fax button.
2. Touch the Fax Menu button.
3. Touch the Receive Options button.
4. Touch the Forward Fax button, and touch the On button.
5. Use the keypad to enter the fax-forwarding number, and then touch the OK button.
Set the answer mode
Depending on the situation, set the product answer mode to Automatic, TAM, Fax/Tel, or Manual. The
factory-set default is Automatic.
●
Automatic: The product answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings or upon
recognition of special fax tones.
●
TAM: The product does not automatically answer the call. Instead, it waits until it detects the fax
tone.
●
Fax/Tel: The product answers incoming calls immediately. If it detects the fax tone, it processes the
call as a fax. If it does not detect the fax tone, it creates an audible ring to alert you to answer the
incoming voice call.
●
Manual: The product never answers calls. You must start the fax-receiving process yourself, either
by touching the Start Fax button on the control panel or by picking up a telephone that is
connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3.
To set or change the answer mode, complete the following steps:
1. From the Home screen, touch the Setup
button.
2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
3. Touch the Basic Setup menu.
4. Scroll to and touch the Answer Mode button, and then touch the name of the option that you want
to use.
