ANS.MACHINE MODE ________________________
Connecting an answering machine to your fax allows you to receive documents and telephone messages
while you are out.

Using your fax with an answering machine
Follow these guidelines when using your fax with an answering machine.
• Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
• When recording an outgoing message on the answering machine:
– The entire message must be no longer than 15 seconds. For example:
“Hello. I can’t answer the phone right now, but please leave a message after the beep. I’ll return your
call as soon as possible.”
For this mode, you need to connect an answering machine to your fax. (see pp. 1-5, 1-6)
