In Auto Answer mode, if the incoming call is a fax
and you pick up the phone or the answering
machine answers, the product automatically begins
receiving the fax. If the other party is a caller, the
phone can be used as normal or a message can be
left on the answering machine.
Note: Any phone or answering machine must be connected to the
product to detect an incoming fax call when the phone is picked up. Epson cannot
guarantee compatibility with VoIP, cable phone systems, or fiberoptic digital services
such as FiOS™.

Setting Up Fax Features

Before sending or receiving faxes, you should create a fax header and select the number of
rings before the fax answers.
Note: To select other settings or use the Epson FAX Utility, see the online
User's Guide.

Entering Fax Header Information

You should enter your name and phone number in the fax header before sending faxes so
that recipients can identify the origin of the fax.
Note: Some fax machines automatically reject incoming faxes that do not include
header information.
If you leave your product unplugged for a long period of time, the date and time
settings may get lost. See the online User's Guide for instructions on resetting them.
