Does the AFX-300 work with an answering machine that has a toll-saver feature?
Yes, but auto-dialing fax machines must connect with the re- ceiving fax machine usually within about 35 seconds. Other- wise, the transmission ends. This means that if the toll-saver feature requires four rings, you must set the fax machine to re- spond in one ring.
Does the AFX-300 work with the call-forwarding feature from my phone company?
No. If you have forwarded your phone to another number, in- coming fax calls never reach your AFX-300 because the calls are switched at the telephone company’s central office.
Does the AFX-300 work with the call-waiting feature from my phone company?
Yes, but the call-waiting signal might distort an incoming or outgoing fax or data transmission. Some telephone systems let you temporarily turn off the call-waiting feature by dialing a special code. You might want to do that if you send or expect to receive an important fax call. Ask your telephone company if it offers this feature.
