Receiving Faxes
1Connect the answering machine.

Using the unit with an answering machine!

Setting up the fax machine and an answering machine

2Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4.
This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.
3Record 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.
4Activate the answering machine.
5Set the receive mode of the fax machine to TEL mode (p. 42) or FAX ONLY mode (p. 43).
If you set to FAX ONLYmode, set the ring count in FAX ONLY mode to more than 4
(feature #06 on page 55). Using FAX ONLYmode will allow you to receive faxes if the
answering machine is full.
6Check 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 56.
