Receiving Faxes
Using the unit with an answering machine!
Setting up the fax machine and an answering machine
1 Connect the answering machine.
Telephone line cord (not included)
Remove the stopper and connect the cord.
Answering machine (not included)
2 | Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4. |
This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first. | |
| ● |
3 | Record a greeting message on the answering machine. |
Example: “This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to | |
| answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a |
| message, please speak after the beep. Thank you.” |
| ●We recommend you record your message around 10 seconds long and not to pause for |
| more than 4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function |
| correctly. |
4 | Activate the answering machine. |
5 | Set the receive mode of the fax machine to TEL mode (p. 42) or FAX ONLY mode (p. 43). |
● | |
If you set to FAX ONLY mode, set the ring count in FAX ONLY mode to |
“5 EXT.TAM” (feature #06 on page 53). Using FAX ONLY mode will allow you to receive faxes if the answering machine is full.
6 Check the remote access code of the answering machine and program the same code into the remote operation ID of the fax machine. See feature #12 on page 54.
