Select Settings on the home screen on the printer's control panel.
To select an item, use the buttons, and then press the OK button.
Select Fax Settings > Basic Settings > Remote Receive.
Select On.
Enter a two digit code (you can enter 0 to 9, *, and #) as the start code, and then press the OK button to apply the settings.
