If your printer has a serial port installed and it is not in use, you
can use your printer to receive faxes. Outgoing faxes are not
supported.
Note: Although some Optra S models may be configured with
multiple serial ports, the activation of more than one fax
port is not permitted.
Note: Any time you want use the receive-only fax serial port for a
different purpose, you must first follow the instructions for
disabling receive-only fax on page 173. If you decide to
reactivate receive-only fax, make sure you follow the
instructions for receive-only fax setup on page 172. Never
attempt to configure your serial port for multiple uses with an
A-B switch.
Hardware Needed
To use your printer serial port to receive incoming faxes, you need
an external, class 1 fax modem. You can use virtually any brand, as
long as it is a class 1 fax modem.
