shown in Figure 1.

received and then starts receiving the fax. 
• If the answering device is off, the printer automatically goes into Fax mode after a 
predefined number of rings. 
• If you answer the call and hear fax tones, the printer will answer the fax call if you 
access

Using a Computer Modem
If you want to use your computer modem for faxing or for a dial-up internet connection, 
connect the computer modem directly to the back of your printer with the TAD as shown here 
in Figure 2. 
• Set your printer to 
Ans/Fax mode and set the Ring to Answer to a digit greater than the 
rings to answer setting for the TAD. 
• Turn off the computer modems fax-receive feature.
• Do not use the computer modem if your printer is sending or receiving a fax.
• To fax via the computer modem, follow the instructions provided with your computer 
modem and fax application.
• You can capture images using your printer and Dell ScanDirect and send them using your 
fax application with the computer modem. 
Fax Data Back-up
The Dell 2355dn Laser MFP has 4 MB (Approx. 200 pages at ITU-T #1 Chart) back-up 
memory.
If there are no paper or no toner left during the fax receiving, the received fax data cannot be 
printed. In this case, the machine automatically saves fax data in the back-up memory. But, if 
the machine fails to complete the receiving fax, the rest of the fax data will not be saved the 
memory.
