You can also use Poll to Receive mode to receive a fax from another fax machine to which you
have dialed (such as a fax information service).

Before receiving faxes, make sure you load plain paper
matches the size of paper you’ve loaded.

If the incoming fax pages are larger than the paper size you loaded, the fax size is reduced to fit or
printed on multiple pages, depending on the Auto Reduction setting you select.

Note:

the phone or the answering machine answers, the product automatically begins receiving the
transmission. If the incoming call is a caller, the phone can be used as normal or a message can be
left on the answering machine.

If your phone company provides Distinctive Ring Service, you can also have a second phone
number dedicated to receiving faxes that’s on the same line as the one you use for making voice
calls. Then set the appropriate DRD setting (a double ring tone, for example).

2. Select your Resolution based on how and when you will enlarge your image.

Determining a scan resolution

If you plan to enlarge the image so you can print it at a larger size, you may need to increase
the resolution. Follow these guidelines:

• You will enlarge the image as you scan it.

If you will enlarge the images in Epson Scan using the Target Size setting (Home and
Professional modes only) you don’t need to increase the Resolution setting.

• You will scan the image at its original size, but then enlarge it later in an image-

editing program.

If you will enlarge your images later in an image-editing program, you need to increase
the Resolution setting to retain a high image quality. Increase the resolution by the same
amount you will increase the image size. For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per
inch), and you will increase the image size by 200% later, change the Resolution setting
to 600 dpi.

If you are scanning at 100% or reducing the size, select your Resolution based on how you
will use the scanned image:

E-mail/view on a computer screen/post on the web: 96 to 150 dpi
Print/convert to editable text (OCR): 300 dpi
Fax: 200 dpi
