Connecting an answering machine

To set up your answering machine

Your PaperJet 50 can work with an answering machine so that you can take voice and fax messages.

To ensure the two machines work together, the fax machine must be in TAD/FAX RX mode and the answering machine line cord must be connected into the socket on the back of the PaperJet 50’s line cord doubler plug.

When set up like this, and a call comes in, your answer machine will always answer the call first. Your PaperJet 50 will monitor the call and take control if it detects that is is a fax call.

If the answering machine fails to answer, PaperJet 50 will answer the call after 10 rings and prepare to receive a fax.

Press to display TAD/FAX RX.

If you can choose the number or rings before your answering machine takes the call (refer to your answering machine’s guide for instructions), it is recommended that you set the number of rings to between

2and 4.

For optimum performance, the outgoing message on the answer machine should be as short as possible and should not exceed the times shown below:-

4	8 seconds

If your fax machine fails to take fax calls off the answering machine

If your PaperJet 50 fails to take fax calls from the answer machine then first you should check that the outgoing message on the answer machine is not too long. If the outgoing message is OK, the problem may be because the calling machine is not sending fax tones (some older machines do this). Your PaperJet 50 should cope with this by switching to fax if it detects long periods of silence – it is preset to switch to fax if it detects 6 seconds of silence. You may need to shorten this detection time to suit your particular answer machine.
