Dell Laser MFP 1815dn
You can connect a telephone answering device (TAD) directly to the back of your printer as shown in
Figure 1.
Set your printer to Ans/Fax mode and set the Ring to Answer to a digit greater than the Rings to Answer
setting for the TAD.
• When the TAD picks up the call, the printer monitors and takes the line if a fax tone is received and
starts receiving the fax.
• If the answering device is off, the printer automatically goes into Fax mode after a predefined number
of rings.
• If you answer the call and hear fax tones, the printer will answer the fax call if you
• access Fax
or
• press the remote receive code *9* and hang up the receiver.
