Solution 2: Check the Auto Answer setting

mode is for your office setup, see the printed documentation that came with the
product.
If you must have Auto Answer off, you will need to press Start Fax to receive a fax.
Cause: Auto Answer was turned off, which means that the product would not
answer incoming calls. You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax
calls in order to receive faxes.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Set the product to answer faxes manually
Solution: Set the product to answer faxes manually. You cannot receive faxes
automatically if you have a voice mail service at the same phone number you use for
fax calls. You must receive faxes manually; this means you must be available to
respond in person to incoming fax calls.
For more information on how to set up the product when you have a voice mail service,
see the printed documentation that came with the product.
Cause: You subscribed to a voice mail service at the same phone number you used
for fax calls.
