5Answering machine

6Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the product

Make sure the product is set to receive faxes automatically and that the number of rings to wait setting is correct. The number of rings to wait for the product should be greater than the number of rings to answer for the answering machine. If the answering machine and the product are set to the same number of rings to answer, both devices will answer the call and fax tones will be recorded on the answering machine.

Set your answering machine to a low number of rings and the product to answer in the maximum number of rings supported. (The maximum number of rings varies by country/region.) In this setup, the answering machine will answer the call and the product will monitor the line. If the product detects fax tones, the product will receive the fax. If the call is a voice call, the answering machine will record the incoming message.

For more information on setting up the product when you have an answering machine, see the printed documentation that came with the product.

Cause: The answering machine was not set up properly with the product or the number or rings to wait setting was not correct.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Set up the product to answer faxes automatically

Solution: Set up the product to answer incoming calls automatically by turning on Auto Answer. If it is turned off, the product will not monitor incoming calls and receive faxes. In this case, the answering machine will answer the fax call and record the fax tones.

For more information on setting up the product when you have an answering machine, see the printed documentation that came with the product.

Cause: The product was set up to receive faxes manually, which means that the product would not answer incoming calls. You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or the product will not receive the fax and your answering machine will record the fax tones.
