Using 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 memory. Then your product dials the fax number you have specified
and sends the fax. If it cannot forward a fax because of an error (for example, the number is busy)
and repeated attempts to redial are unsuccessful, your product will print the fax.
If the product runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it will terminate the incoming fax and only
forward the pages and partial pages already stored in memory.
When using this feature, the product must be the one receiving faxes (not the computer) and the
answer mode must be set to Automatic (see Changing how the product answers incoming faxes
).

Using fax polling

(this is known as polling another machine).

Enabling an extension phone
With this setting turned on, you can alert the product to pick up the incoming fax call by pressing
1-2-3 sequentially on the telephone keypad. The default is Yes. Turn this setting off only if you have
a service from your telephone company that also uses the 1-2-3 sequence. The service will not
work if it conflicts with the product.
