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 a message up to 10 seconds long, and do not pause for more

 

than 4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function correctly.

4

Activate the answering machine.

5

Set the fax machine to the desired receiving mode (p. 44, 45).

If you set to FAX ONLY mode, change the ring setting in FAX ONLY mode to more than 4 (feature #06 on page 62). 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 63.
