Getting started

Using an answering machine with your fax machine

To connect your answering machine to your fax machine:

1 Set the fax machine for Ans/Fax Ready, as described on page 1.19.

2 Set your answering machine to answer calls after no more than two rings. (See the answering machine’s instructions if necessary.)

3 Create a new outgoing message on your answering machine. Here’s a suggested message:

Hello! You’ve reached [your name or telephone number]. To leave a voice message, please wait for the beep. To send a fax, press START on your fax machine. Thanks for calling!

Important: Your answering machine’s outgoing message must be no longer than 10 seconds.

Detection of “silent” fax machines

Some older fax machines don’t send fax tones when transmitting, which can cause problems when using an answering machine with your fax.

But your fax machine can accommodate these “silent” machines without disrupting your answering machine operation. For more information, call your authorised Muratec dealer.

If the paper runs out

Getting the word from your machine

When your fax machine runs out of paper, the machine beeps, the REPLACE PAPER light glows and the LCD indicates which source has run out of paper, either the cassette or the multipurpose tray.

In this example, the cassette is empty:

Fax Ready

Check Cassette Paper

Your fax machine cannot print fax messages or copies without paper. But it can still receive documents into its memory, as described in the section below.

Receiving when out of paper

If your machine runs out of paper, it stores up to 250 fax receptions in its memory. This is called out-of-paper reception. Once you refill the paper supply, the fax machine prints the stored messages automatically.

Note: The number of pages (not receptions) your fax machine can store for out-of-paper reception will vary. It depends on:

Your machine’s memory capacity

Types of documents being sent to your machine

Resolution of documents being sent to your machine (See Specifications, page AI.1.)
