I am not certain, but if you have it connected to a DSL or other broadband telco line, it won't work for faxes. You need a simple regular landline for faxes in and out.
You will have to set the Multi-ring pattern in the Printer Fax Setup to distinguish between the phone ring and fax ring
Press Setup button Scroll to Advanced fax setup ( Press OK ) Choose Distinctive Ring Pattern ( DRP ) Set the multi-ring you have been assigned for Fax Press OK - Try dialing the no., the Fax should ring Try sending Fax or Recieving, it should work.
Also, Turn off the ECM under SETUP - FAX Settings - ECM ( Error correction mode ) - Turn it OFF
Go to menu option and choose the option fax and set the parameter like auto receive or manual set the ring auto answer mode after certain ring. If it is in auto receiving mode it will receive the fax after the ring which you set. Make sure the phone wire which you insert in fax machine getting proper dial tone and getting out going calling facility. Hope this helps. Please rate my response. Thanks. Have a good day.
Your fax machine has a setting for answering on a number of rings, normally between 1 - 4. Check it's settings and lower the number to meet your needs, so the fax picks-up before the answering machine.
