I moved the fax machine and it's phone line connecting yesterday. The fax line rings, but the machine does not pick up and receive the fax. I have run through guide in the Trouble Shooting manual of resetting the phone line type, but have not been able to resolve the problem. Any advise would be appreciated.
SOURCE: cannot figure how to set up Canon MP830 All in One Fax machine with remote answering machine
Cannot figure how to hook up Canon MP830 all in one fax with remote answering machine. I can plug in phone line to send faxes fine but when hooked up in same hole and the phone rings it goes immediately to fax and can't receive phone calls. Maybe i have phone line hooked up in wrong place on my machine. The answering machine is in our master bedroom on the other side of the house. With my last a canon also i had it hooked up to go to fax after a certain amount of rings and it worked fine. That machine got fried by lightening and i replaced it with this machine. If anyone knows what i am doing wrong i really need this fax hooked up all the time for my business.

SOURCE: Cannot receive faxes on Canon Pixma MX870, but can send faxes
I was searching for an answer to this to make sure my new MX870 is correctly set to receive faxes. Here's one answer I came across:
First set Tel-Priority, turn off incoming ring, turn on manual/auto switch, then check how many seconds it takes for your answering machine to come on, and set it a couple of seconds after that. This should do the trick.
