Faxing a Document
Your WorkForce 310 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

Note:
In Windows, you can also send a fax from your computer using the Epson FAX Utility, 
see page 29 for details. 
For more information on faxing and fax settings, see the on-screen Epson Information 
Center.

Machine

If you’re connecting the WorkForce 310 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.

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 WorkForce 310 
Series.
If your answering machine is set to pick up on the fourth ring, you should set the

the answering machine answers, the WorkForce 310 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 WorkForce 
310 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 WorkForce 
310 Series will not receive the fax.
