Epson 500 Notice D’Utilisation Abrégée

Faxing a Document or Photo

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 WorkForce 500 

Series (or to another wall jack on the same line).

If your answering machine is set to pick up on the fourth ring, you should set the 
WorkForce 500 Series to pick up on the fifth ring or later: 

1. Press 

Setup

.

2. Press l to select 

Fax Settings

, then press 

OK

.

3. Select 

Communication

, then press 

OK

.

4. Select 

Rings to Answer

, then press r.

5. Select the number of rings, then press 

OK

. Select more than the number of 

rings needed for the answering machine to pick up.

When you receive a call, if the other party is a fax and you pick up the phone or 
the answering machine answers, the WorkForce 500 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: 
A phone or answering machine must be connected to the EXT. port for the 
WorkForce 500 Series to detect an incoming fax call when a phone is picked up. If a fax 
call comes in, and you pick up the phone without having a phone or answering machine 
connected to the EXT. port, the call will be disconnected when you hang up and the 
WorkForce 500 Series will not receive the fax.

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.
