Fax
When you send a fax from the printer control panel, the document is scanned and transmitted to a
fax machine using a dedicated telephone line. To use the Embedded Fax feature, ensure that your
printer has access to a functioning telephone line with a telephone number assigned to it.
Note: Not all options listed are supported on all printers. Some options apply only to a specific
printer model, configuration, operating system, or print driver type.

connection and regulations. The Fax Settings include optional features you can use to configure the
printer for faxing.
For details on Fax Settings and Fax Default Settings, refer to Configuring Fax Defaults and Settings.
