Q: |
How do I use an answering machine with my fax? |
A: |
See below.
Connecting a Telephone or Answering MachineYou must connect
your product to a telephone wall jack to send or receive faxes. If you want to
use the same telephone line to receive calls, you can connect a telephone or
answering machine to your product using an additional phone cable.
Note: If you do not connect a telephone to your product, make sure to
turn on Auto Answer mode. Otherwise, you cannot receive faxes.
- Connect the phone cable to your telephone wall jack and to the
LINE port on your product.

Note: If you have a DSL or ISDN connection, you must connect the
appropriate DSL filter, or ISDN terminal adapter or router to the wall jack to
be able to use the line for faxing or voice calls using your product. Contact
your DSL or ISDN provider for the necessary equipment.

- If you are connecting a telephone or answering machine to your
product using a second phone cable, remove the cap from the
EXT port on your product.

- Connect the second phone cable to your telephone or answering
machine and to the
EXT port on your product.

Note: If you connect an answering machine and Auto Answer mode is
turned on, make sure the product's
Rings to Answer setting is set higher than the number of
rings your answering machine is set to answer a call.
Any phone or answering machine must be connected to the
EXT port for your 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.
