Forwarding Faxes - Lexmark 5495 - X Color Inkjet Fax Manual

To receive a fax with an answering machine connected to the printer:
1
Make sure that Auto Answer is on.
Note: An indicator, resembling a telephone handset with the word FAX under it, is shown in the top left corner
of the display when Auto Answer is on.
2
Make sure you have set the number of times the telephone rings before receiving a fax automatically. For more
information, see "Setting the number of rings before receiving a fax automatically" on page 37
When a telephone ring is detected, the answering machine picks up the call.
•
If the printer detects a fax, it receives the fax and disconnects the answering machine.
•
If the printer does not detect a fax, the answering machine receives the call.
3
Set the answering machine to answer incoming calls before the printer does.
For example, if you set the answering machine to answer calls after three rings, set the printer to answer calls
after five rings.
