Fax a Document or Photo : Receive Faxes

Automatically Receive a Fax
The Artisan 810 Series automatically receives and prints faxes when you turn on Auto Answer mode. You can also set it to receive faxes manually.
When a telephone with an answering machine is connected, set the number of rings before the Artisan 810 Series answers to be greater than the number of rings before the answering machine answers. For example, if your answering machine is set to pick up on the fourth ring, you can set the Artisan 810 Series to pick up on the fifth ring. If the incoming call is a fax and you pick up the phone or the answering machine answers, the Artisan 810 Series automatically begins receiving the transmission. If the incoming call is a caller, the phone can be used as normal or a message can be left on the answering machine.
Follow these steps to set the number of rings before the Artisan 810 Series picks up:
1.
Press the Home button, then select Setup.
2.
Press  or , then select Fax Setting.
3.
Press  and Select Communication.
4.
Select Rings to Answer.
5.
Set the number of rings before answering, then press OK. Make sure you set it to more than the number of rings needed for the answering machine to pick up.
If your phone company provides Distinctive Ring Service, you can also have a second phone number dedicated to receiving faxes that’s on the same line as the one you use for making voice calls. Then set the appropriate DRD setting.
