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.
Block or unblock fax numbers
If you do not want to receive faxes from specific people or businesses, you can block as many as 30
fax numbers by using the control panel. When you block a fax number and someone from that number
sends you a fax, the control-panel display indicates that the number is blocked, the fax does not print,
and the fax is not saved in memory. Faxes from blocked fax numbers appear in the fax activity log with
a “discarded” designation. You can unblock blocked fax numbers individually or all at one time.
NOTE: The sender of a blocked fax is not notified that the fax failed.
1. From the Home screen, touch the Fax button.
2. Touch the Fax Menu button.
3. Touch the Receive Options button.
