Receiving faxes on a shared phone line
You can receive faxes to the all-in-one or to your computer. In general, incoming faxes to the all-in-
one are automatically answered. However, if you change the devices that are connected to the same
telephone line as the all-in-one, you must change how the all-in-one answers incoming faxes. See
Follow the procedures in this section to manage faxes that are routed to the all-in-one.
To receive faxes when you hear fax tones
If you have a telephone line that receives both fax and telephone calls, and you hear fax tones when
you answer the telephone, you can start the receiving process in one of two ways:
●
If you are close to the all-in-one, press
Start Fax
on the control panel.
●
When you answer any telephone connected to the line (an extension telephone) and hear fax
tones, the all-in-one should begin answering the call automatically. If not, press 1-2-3 in
sequence on the telephone keypad (in tone-dialing mode only), listen for fax transmission
sounds, and then hang up.
NOTE
In order for the second method to work, the extension telephone setting must be set
to YES. See
Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes
to check or change the
setting.
Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes
With this setting turned on, you can alert the all-in-one to pick up the incoming fax call by pressing
1-2-3 sequentially on the telephone keypad (in tone-dial mode only). The default setting is On. Turn
this setting off only if you use pulse dialing or if you have a service from your telephone company that
also uses the 1-2-3 sequence. The telephone company service does not work if it conflicts with the
all-in-one.
