Receiving Faxes

EXT.TAM mode

(using with an external telephone answering machine)

You can connect an external telephone answering machine (EXT.TAM). When the EXT.TAM mode is set, the unit and answering machine will work as follows.

■Receiving voice calls

The external telephone answering machine will record voice messages automatically.

■Receiving fax calls

The unit will receive documents automatically.

■Receiving a voice message and fax document in one call

The external telephone answering machine will record the voice message first. Then, the unit will be activated by the caller’s request and receive the document. For further details, see page 47.

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 into the answering machine.

Example: “This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to answer the phone

right now. Please leave a message after the long beep. To send a fax, start transmission. Thank you.”

Note:

●Do not pause for 4 or more seconds during the greeting message. If a 4 second pause is stored in the greeting message, all incoming calls will be routed to the unit from the answering machine even while the greeting message is playing.

●We recommend you keep the greeting message around 10 seconds long. If the greeting message is too long, some incoming fax calls may not be answered by the unit.

●If your answering machine is equipped with a remote operation feature, set the same remote access code that is on the answering machine to the unit (see page 47).
