  • If the fax function is enabled and not fully set up, then the indicator light may blink red.
  • If you do not have a TCP/IP environment, then use the control panel to set up fax.

Warning—Potential Damage:  To avoid loss of data or printer malfunction, do not touch cables or the printer in the area shown while actively sending or receiving a fax.
