Setting up to receive faxes

Ans. Machine Mode____________________________

Use Ans. Machine Mode if you have an answering machine connected to the fax. By setting this mode, you can receive documents automatically, and messages from people calling when you are out.

See p. 15 for details on connecting an answering machine to your fax.

Recording the outgoing message

When recording a message...

Try to keep your message to less than 15 seconds long.

In the message tell your callers how to send a fax. Here’s a sample message:

“Hello. I’m not in the office right now, but please leave a message after the beep. I’ll return your call as soon as possible. If you would like to send a fax, press the start button on your fax after recording your message. Thank you.”

Leave a 4-second pause at the beginning of the message (this pause plus the outgoing message should not exceed 15 seconds).

Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
