(wireless router).

Verify the printer fax settings
• To use a voice-mail service from the phone company or service provider, make
sure that the printer Rings to Answer setting is set to be fewer rings than the
telephone answering machine.
• If multiple phone numbers are assigned to the same physical phone line and
the line is shared by multiple devices, make sure that the printer is set to the
correct distinctive ring setting. Use a setting in which the printer answers faxes
and ignores other ring types.
• Configuring the Fax Speed setting to Medium (V.17) or Slow (V.29) can also
improve your ability to send a fax.
