Faxing a Document or Photo
Faxing a Document or Photo
Your Artisan 800 Series lets you send faxes by entering fax numbers or selecting
entries from a speed dial list. Using the Automatic Document Feeder, you can fax
up to 30 pages at a time.
See these sections:
“Connecting to a Phone Line” below
“Setting Up Fax Features” on page 19
“Sending a Fax” on page 23
“Receiving Faxes” on page 25
For more information on faxing and fax settings, see the on-screen Epson
Information Center.
Connecting to a Phone Line
1. Connect the phone cable from the wall jack to the
LINE
port on the back of
the Artisan 800 Series.
Note:
If you’re connecting the Artisan 800 Series to a DSL phone line, you must plug a
DSL filter into the wall jack or you won’t be able to use the fax or telephone
equipment as described below. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter.
Setting Up Fax Features
19
2. To use a telephone or answering machine, you need a second phone cable.
Connect one end of the cable to the telephone or answering machine, and
connect the other end to the
EXT.
port on the back of the Artisan 800 Series.
When you receive a call, if the other party is a fax and you pick up the phone or
the answering machine answers, the Artisan 800 Series automatically begins
receiving the transmission. If the other party is a caller, the phone can be used as
normal or a message can be left on the answering machine.
Note:
Your phone or answering machine must be connected to the EXT. port (not to a wall
jack) for the Artisan 800 Series to detect incoming fax calls properly. It’s a good idea to
set the Artisan 800 Series to pick up calls after your answering machine; to adjust the
number of rings after which the Artisan 800 Series answers, press the Home button
and select Setup, select Fax Setting, select Communication, and select Rings to
Answer.
Setting Up Fax Features
Before sending or receiving faxes, you may want to create a fax header, select your
fax preferences, and set up a speed dial list of frequently used fax numbers.
