Faxing a Document or Photo
Your NX300/305 Series lets you send faxes by entering fax numbers, selecting 
entries from a speed dial list, or using the one-touch dial buttons. Using the 
Automatic Document Feeder, you can fax up to 30 pages at a time.
Note:
For more information on faxing and fax settings, see the online User’s Guide.
Connecting a Phone or Answering 
Machine
1. Connect the phone cable from the wall jack to the LINE port on the back of 
the NX300/305 Series.
Note:
If you’re connecting the NX300/305 Series to a DSL phone line, you must plug a 
DSL filter into the wall jack or you won’t be able to use the fax or telephone 
equipment as described below. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter.
Epson cannot guarantee compatibility with VoIP, cable phone systems, or fiber-
optic digital services such as FiOS™.

							Connecting a Phone or Answering Machine15
2. To use a telephone or answering machine, you need a second phone cable. 
Connect one end of the cable to the telephone or answering machine, and 
connect the other end to the EXT. port on the back of the NX300/305 Series.
Note:
Remove the cap from the EXT. port, if you haven’t already done so, before 
connecting a phone or answering machine.
If your answering machine is set to pick up on the fourth ring, you should set the

the answering machine answers, the NX300/305 Series automatically begins 
receiving the transmission. If the other party is a caller, the phone can be used as 
normal or a message can be left on the answering machine.
Note:
A phone or answering machine must be connected to the EXT. port for the NX300/305 
Series to detect an incoming fax call when a phone is picked up. If a fax call comes in, 
and you pick up the phone without having a phone or answering machine connected to 
the EXT. port, the call will be disconnected when you hang up and the NX300/305 
Series will not receive the fax.
