Faxing a Document or Photo

Your WorkForce 610 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 letter- or A4-size or 10 legal-size pages at a time.

See these sections:

“Receiving Faxes” on page 24

Note:

In Windows, you can also send a fax from your computer using the Epson FAX Utility, see the online Epson Information Center for details.

For more information on faxing and fax settings, see the online Epson Information Center.

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 product 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 product 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 disconnect when you hang up and the product will not receive the fax.

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.
