Using Caller ID from the control panel
Caller ID is a service provided by some telephone companies that identifies the telephone number (and possibly the
name) of the person who is calling. If you subscribe to this service, it works with the printer. When you receive a fax,
the telephone number of the person who is sending you the fax appears on the display.
Note: Caller ID is available only in some countries and regions.
The printer supports two distinct Caller ID patterns: Pattern 1 (FSK) and Pattern 2 (DTMF). Depending on the country
or region you live in and the telecommunications company you subscribe to, you may need to switch the pattern to
display Caller ID information.

Receiving a fax with an answering machine
Note: You must set up the equipment as shown in “Connecting to an answering machine” on page 32.
To receive a fax with an answering machine connected to the printer:
1 Make sure that the Auto Answer function is on.
Note: An indicator, resembling a telephone handset with the word FAX under it, is shown in the top left corner
of the display when Auto Answer is on.
2 Make sure you have set the number of times the telephone rings before receiving a fax automatically. For more
information, see “Setting the number of rings before receiving a fax automatically” on page 165
When a telephone ring is detected, the answering machine picks up the call.
• If the printer detects a fax, it receives the fax and disconnects the answering machine.
• If the printer does not detect a fax, the answering machine receives the call.
3 Set the answering machine to answer incoming calls before the printer does.
For example, if you set the answering machine to answer calls after three rings, set the printer to answer calls
after five rings.
