The answer mode determines whether the printer answers incoming calls.
Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the printer to answer faxes automatically. The printer answers all incoming calls and faxes.
Turn off the Auto Answer setting if you want to receive faxes manually. You must be available to respond in person to the incoming fax call or else the printer does not receive faxes.
To set the answer mode
From the Home screen on the printer display, press the Up and Down buttons to select Fax, and then press OK.
Select Settings.
Select Auto Answer, select On or Off, and then press OK.
