Tips for receiving faxes
When receiving faxes:
Make sure that the printer is on and connected to a working telephone, DSL, or VoIP line. The line is working if you
hear a dial tone.
If you set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off), then make sure that the ringer volume is not set
to Off.
If you have set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then load paper in the printer.

What is my fax number?
In most cases, your telephone number is also your fax number. If you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection
(DRPD) service offered by telephone companies, then your fax number is the number that you assigned to the printer.
Make sure that you enter the correct distinctive ring pattern for that number in the fax software or in the Fax Setup
menu of the printer control panel.
If you have more than one telephone line, then make sure that you enter the number for the line...

How do I set the distinctive ring for the printer?
Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature offered
by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each
telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns
let you know what telephone number was dialed, and what device you should use to answer the call.

How do I adjust the speaker volume on the printer?
Listen to the dial tone to check if the telephone line is working and to check if the cables and devices are connected
properly in your telephone network. Make sure that the dialing volume is not set to Off, especially if you are dialing a
number on hook. If you set the printer to receive faxes manually, then make sure that you set the ringer volume loud
enough for you to hear it.
