Receiving a Fax Automatically in the Fax Mode
Your printer is preset to the fax mode at the factory. 
If you receive a fax, the printer automatically goes into the fax mode after a 
specified period of time and receives the fax.
To change the interval at which the printer goes into the fax mode after 
receiving an incoming call, see Available Fax Settings Options on page 291.
Receiving a Fax Manually in the Telephone Mode 
You can receive a fax by picking up the handset of the external telephone, and 
then pressing the 
 (Start) button.
The printer begins receiving a fax and returns to the standby mode when the 
reception is completed.
Receiving a Fax Automatically in the Telephone/Fax or Ans/Fax Mode
To use the TEL/FAX Mode or Ans/FAX Mode, you must attach an external 
telephone to the phone connector ( ) on the back of your printer. 
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message as it 
would normally. If your printer hears a fax tone on the line, it automatically 
starts to receive a fax. 
 NOTE: If you have set your printer to Auto Answer Fax and your answering 
machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your printer, 
your printer will automatically go into the 
Fax mode after a predefined time.

This feature works best when you are using an external telephone connected
