Connect the Device for Fax and Configure Basic Fax Settings

You can use Fax to fax documents to a fax number, or individual contact, or to a group of contacts. When you send a fax from the printer control panel, the document is scanned and transmitted to a fax device, using a dedicated telephone line.

Step 1: Connect the Device for Fax

1. Connect a telephone line cord into the LINE port on the back of the device.
   
   
   
   

2. Connect the other end of the cord into a dedicated telephone line jack.

Step 2: Configure Basic Fax Settings

Basic fax settings can be configured from the control panel using the Fax Wizard or via a web browser using CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS).  Note that the printer must be connected to a wired (Ethernet) or wireless network and have a valid IP address to use CWIS to configure fax settings.

8. Touch Restart.

Using CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS):

1. From a computer (on the same network as the printer) open a Web browser.

2. In the Web browser address field, enter the IP address of the printer and then press Enter or Return. The CWIS home page will be displayed.

   Note: Many features in CWIS require an administrator user name and password to access or modify. If prompted to enter Administrator Account login details:
