Fax machine manual - Ricoh FAX3900NF Plain Paper Laser

Your fax machine *may* have specific instructions (if not too old) for this very common type of installation (many do). Consult your fax manual to learn how to set this up. Your AT&T TL86109 phone has no options for adding a fax machine.

If your fax machine lacks the built-in ability to forward non-fax calls to your telephone or TAD, you will need to either purchase a fax machine that can do this, purchase and install a "fax switch" or, manage your fax calls manually - by only enabling the fax machine to answer calls when a fax is expected.

If yout still have problems, please post the name / model of your FAX machine. I hope this helps & good luck!

Problem lies in your Receive Mode setting. If you don't have a dedicated phone line for the fax machine, you need to set it up for either Manual where you answer every call or Fax/Tel whereby the Fax machine determines if the incoming call is a fax or phone call. Instructions per Intellifax 4100 Manual.

Select a Receive Mode
Choose the mode that best suits your needs by pressing the Mode button
repeatedly until the FAX and FAX/TEL lights show the setting you want to use.

Usually, fax machines don't have caller ID capability.. If the sender's fax number appears on the faxes you receive, it's just that they have programmed it into their fax machine as a header.

go to page 28 setting with a caller ID

The machine is probably set to "manual receive." Check the receive mode. In "Manual" mode the machine will ring until the start" button is pressed. Fax mode will allow the machine to receive faxes as will the "Auto" mode which will allow both faxes and telephone calls automatically.
