If your modem software is set to receive faxes to your computer automatically, turn
off that setting.

NOTE:

If you do not turn off the automatic fax reception setting in your modem

software, the product will not be able to receive faxes.

Now you need to decide how you want the product to answer calls, automatically or
manually:
•

If you set up the product to answer calls automatically, it answers all incoming
calls and receives faxes. The product will not be able to distinguish between fax
and voice calls in this case; if you suspect the call is a voice call, you will need to
answer it before the product answers the call. To set up the product to answer
calls automatically, turn on the Auto Answer setting.

•

If you set up the product to answer faxes manually, you must be available to
respond in person to incoming fax calls or the product cannot receive faxes. To
set up the product to answer calls manually, turn off the Auto Answer setting.

Run a fax test.

If you pick up the phone before the product answers the call and hear fax tones from a
sending fax machine, you will need to answer the fax call manually.
