You can
setup the product's basic fax settings using the Fax Setting
Wizard. This wizard is automatically displayed when the product is
turned on for the first time. You can also change these settings
individually from the Fax Settings menu.
Press the home button, if
necessary.
Select Settings >
General Settings >
Fax Settings > Fax Setting Wizard. You see a screen
like this:
Make sure a phone line is connected and select
Proceed.
Use the displayed keyboard to enter the sender name for
your fax source, such as your name or a business name. You can
enter up to 40 characters. Select OK when finished.
Use the numeric keypad to enter your fax number, up to 20
characters. Select OK when
finished.
Note: The
name and phone number in the fax header identifies the source of
the faxes you send.
On the Distinctive Ring Setting screen, do one of the
following:
If you have
subscribed to a distinctive ring service from your telephone
company, select Settings. Select
the ring pattern to be used for incoming faxes or select
All. If you selected All, go to the next step. If you selected
another ring pattern, go to step 9.
If you do not
have a distinctive ring service, select Skip and go to step 9.
Note:
Distinctive ring services allows you to have several phone numbers
on one phone line. Each number is assigned a different ring
pattern. You can use one number for voice calls and another for fax
calls. Select the ring pattern assigned to fax calls in the
Distinctive Ring Setting. If you select a ring pattern other than
All, Receive Mode is
automatically set to Auto.
On the Receive Mode
Setting screen, do one of the following:
If you have connected an external telephone
or answering machine to the product, select Yes and go to the next step.
If you did not connect an external telephone
or answering machine, select No
and go to step 9. (Receive Mode is automatically set to
Auto; otherwise you cannot
receive faxes.)
On the next Receive Mode
Setting screen, select Yes to
receive faxes automatically or select No to receive faxes manually.
Note: If you
connect an external answering machine and select to receive faxes
automatically, make sure the Rings to
Answer setting is correct. If you select to receive faxes
manually, you need to answer every call and use the product’s
control panel or your phone to receive faxes.
On the Proceed screen, confirm the displayed settings and
select Proceed, or press the back
arrow to change the settings.
On the Run Check Fax Connection screen, select
Start Checking and follow the
on-screen instructions to check the fax connection and print a
report of the check result. If there are any errors reported, try
the solutions on the report and run the check again.
If the Select Line Type
screen appears, select the correct line type.
Note: If you
are connecting the product to a standard phone line, select
PSTN and then select Do Not Detect on the Confirmation screen that
appears. However, selecting this setting may cause the product to
drop the first digit of a fax number and send the fax to the wrong
number.
