Faxing Overview
Printer configurations Phaser 6121MFP/N and /D are enabled for faxing if the printer has a phone line
connection. For information on connecting a phone line, see Connecting the Printer on page 34. The
Phaser 6121MFP/S printer configuration does not have faxing capability.
The instructions in this chapter assume you have installed the necessary software. For more
information, see Installing the Software on page 38.
Note: Before faxing you need to set the country code and fax number for the printer. If you did not
do this during the initial setup at the control panel, see Enabling the Printer for Faxing on page 50.
You can send a fax two ways:
• From the printer control panel by selecting from the printer’s address book or by entering the fax
number manually.
• From an application on your computer using the Phaser 6121MFP PC-FAX driver (Windows only).
See Sending a Fax from Your Computer on page 119.

defaults.

printer will scan the document in the auto document feeder only.
