loud enough for you to h ear it.

How can I make sure that the fax answers the call before theanswering machine?

To make sure the printer picks up incoming faxes, set Auto Answer to On, and then set the printer to pick up after a

greater number of rings than t he answering machine. For e xample, if the answering ma chine picks up calls after fou r

rings, then set the printer to pic k up after five ri ngs. This way, th e answering machi ne picks up calls first and your

voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.

What settings work best with digital voice mail?

Voice mail and fax can share the same telephone line if you subscribe to a distinctive ring s ervice. This feature allows

you to have multiple telephone numbers on o ne telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring

pattern (a single ring, a d ouble ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know which telephone number

was dialed, and which device you should use to answer the call.
