Faxing 118 Faxing Note: Fax capabilities may not be available on all printer models. Scanner glass AB C Automatic document feeder (ADF) Use the ADF for multiple‑page documents. Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items (such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings). Setting up the printer to fax CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm.
Faxing 119 Initial fax setup Many countries and regions require outgoing faxes to contain the following information in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission: fax name (identification of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message) and fax number (telephone number of the sending fax machine, business, other entity, or individual). For more information, see “Regulatory notices for telecommunication terminal equipment” on page 369.
Faxing Choosing a fax connection Scenario 1: Standard telephone line Setup 1: Printer is connected to a dedicated fax line 120
Faxing 121 To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. Tips for this setup: • You can set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On) or manually (Auto Answer Off). • If you want to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then set the printer to pick up on any number of rings that you want.
Faxing 122 Connected to different wall jacks PHONE LINE To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. Tips for this setup: • If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On). • Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine.
Faxing 123 • If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer does not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.
Faxing 124 Tips for this setup: • This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. If you have distinctive ring service, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer does not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically. • If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off).
Faxing 125 To minimize interference between the two channels and ensure a quality connection, you need to install a DSL filter for the analog devices (fax machine, telephone, answering machine) in your network. Interference causes noise and static on the telephone, failed and poor quality faxes for the printer, and slow Internet connection on your computer. To install a filter for the printer: 1 Connect the line port of the DSL filter to the wall jack.
Faxing 126 To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the VoIP adapter. Note: The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. VoIP providers may charge additional cost for activation of the second phone port. 3 Connect the telephone to the port of the printer.
Faxing 127 Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider Setup 1: Printer is connected directly to a cable modem 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with your printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the cable modem. Note: The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. VoIP providers may charge additional cost for activation of the second phone port.
Faxing 128 • If you need two telephone ports for your devices, but do not want to pay additional cost, then do not plug the printer into the second telephone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line 1 or Phone Port, and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter. • Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.
Faxing 129 If the wall jack or equipment in your facility is not compatible with this type of connection, then you need to use a telephone adapter. An adapter for your country or region may not come with your printer, and you may need to purchase it separately. There may be an adapter plug installed in the port of the printer. If you are using a telephone adapter or a facility port of the printer.
Faxing 130 Connecting the printer to a non‑RJ‑11 wall jack 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ‑11 adapter, and then connect the adapter to the wall jack. 3 If you want to connect another device (telephone or answering machine) to the same wall jack, and if the device has a non‑RJ‑11 connector, then connect it directly to the telephone adapter.
Faxing 131 Connecting the printer to a wall jack in Germany The German wall jack has two kinds of ports. The N ports are for fax machines, modems, and answering machines. The F port is for telephones.
Faxing 132 Connect the printer to any of the N ports. N F N PHONE 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came the printer to the LINE port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to the RJ‑11 adapter, and then connect the adapter to an N port. 3 If you want to connect a telephone and answering machine to the same wall jack, then connect the devices as shown. Note: Do not remove the adapter plug from the telephone system.
Faxing 133 Connecting to a distinctive ring service A distinctive ring service may be available from your telephone company. This service lets you have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line, with each telephone number having a different ring pattern. This may be useful for distinguishing between fax and voice calls.
Faxing 134 Setting the date and time You can set the date and time so that they are printed on every fax you send. 1 Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field. Notes: • View the printer IP address on the printer home screen.

Clearing jams 266 Clearing jams By carefully selecting paper and specialty media and loading it properly, you should be able to avoid most jams. If jams occur, then follow the steps outlined in this chapter. Warning—Potential Damage: Never use any tool to remove a jam. Doing so could permanently damage the fuser. Avoiding jams Load paper properly • Make sure paper lies flat in the tray. Correct loading of paper Incorrect loading of paper • Do not remove a tray while the printer is printing.
Clearing jams 267 • Do not slide the paper into the tray. Load paper as shown in the illustration. • Make sure the guides in the tray or the multipurpose feeder are properly positioned and are not pressing tightly against the paper or envelopes. • Push the tray firmly into the printer after loading paper. • If you are loading prepunched paper for use with the staple finisher, then make sure the holes on the long edge of the paper are on the right side of the tray.
Clearing jams 268 Allow the paper to enter the optional mailbox bins properly • Make sure to adjust the bin extender so that the paper size indicators match the size of the paper used. Notes: – If the bin extender is shorter than the size of the paper you are printing on, then the paper causes a jam in the mailbox bin. For example, if you are printing on a legal-size paper and the bin extender is set to lettersize, then a jam occurs.
Clearing jams 269 • If paper needs to be returned to the mailbox bin, then insert the paper under the bin arm, and then push the paper all the way back. Note: If the paper is not under the bin arm, then a jam occurs due to an overfilled bin. Use recommended paper • Use only recommended paper or specialty media. • Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, bent, or curled paper. • Flex, fan, and straighten paper or specialty media before loading it.
Clearing jams 270 Notes: • When Jam Assist is set to On, the printer flushes blank pages or pages with partial prints to the standard bin after a jammed page has been cleared. Check your printed output for blank pages. • When Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto, the printer reprints jammed pages. However, the Auto setting reprints jammed pages if adequate printer memory is available.
