Outgoing Message (OGM)

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.

1Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your FAX/MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

2Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

3End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:

“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 5 1 and Start.”

Connecting an External Telephone

Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your FAX/MFC.

Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the left side of the FAX/MFC.

Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays “EXT. TEL IN USE,” and, if the FAX/MFC handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the FAX/MFC, press

Hook or Speaker Phone .
