Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD

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

1Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

2Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

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

“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing

51 and Start.”

Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some fax machines do not send a fax tone in manual mode. In these cases you must inform callers that they must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.

Connecting an External Telephone

Your MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone to your MFC, as shown below.

Whenever this external phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the MFC’s handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the MFC, lift the handset and press Tel (for MFC 730 only) or Speaker Phone (for MFC-740 only).
