Receiving Faxes Manually

You can set up your product to receive faxes manually by setting the Receive Mode to Manual. This lets you check for a fax tone on the connected telephone before receiving a fax.

To change the Receive Mode setting, from the home screen, select Settings > Fax Settings > Basic Settings > Receive Mode and select Manual.
When the connected telephone rings, answer the call.
If you hear a fax tone, select Fax on the LCD display.
Note: To receive a fax using the attached telephone instead of the product control panel, enable the Fax Settings > Basic Settings > Remote Receive setting.
Press the # button.
Press the start button to start receiving the fax.
Hang up the telephone.
