Canon H12157 manual Using the Laser Class 2060P With an Answering Machine

NCanon does not recommend using an “answering service” (like those offered by local telephone companies that provide voice mail) on the telephone line you are connecting to the LASER CLASS 2060P. If you do subscribe to an answering service, you may want to dedicate a separate line for fax communication only and connect that line to the LASER CLASS 2060P.

Using the LASER CLASS 2060P With an Answering Machine

Follow these guidelines when using the LASER CLASS 2060P with an answering machine:

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

❏If the LASER CLASS 2060P runs out of paper or toner in ANS.MACHINE MODE, it receives all faxes into memory. The faxes then print automatically when you add paper or replace the toner cartridge.

❏When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine:

•Leave a four-second pause at the beginning of the message.

•The entire message, including the four-second pause, must be no more than 15 seconds long.

•In the message, tell your callers how to send a fax. For example:

“Hello. I can’t answer the phone 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 machine after you leave your message. Thank you.”
