NOTE

1.Depending on the model of the Telephone Answering Machine (TAM) that is connected, some of the features may not be compatible with your fax machine operating in the TAM Interface mode.

2.If you are using the "Distinctive Ring Service" provided by your local telephone company, please note that the ring pattern for your fax number must match with the setting of Fax Parameter No. 36 (RING PATTERN DETECT). (See page 34)

If the setting does not match with the ring pattern, your machine will not receive a document automatically and the telephone will continue to ring.

Furthermore, if your TAM does not support the "Distinctive Ring Detector" service, it may not function properly in TAM Interface.
