Using an Answering Machine: ANS.MACHINE MODE
Connecting an answering machine to the machine allows you to receive
faxes and telephone messages while you are out of the office.
For instructions on connecting an answering machine to the machine, see
“Connecting an Extension Telephone or Answering Machine,” on page
2-18.
Canon does not recommend using an “answering service” (like those
offered by local telephone companies that provide voice mail) on the
telephone line you are connecting to the machine. If you do subscribe to
an answering service, you may want to dedicate a separate line for fax
communication only and connect that line to the machine.
Using the Machine with an Answering Machine
Follow these guidelines when using the machine with an answering
machine:
❏
Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
❏
If the machine runs out of paper or toner in ANS.MACHINE MODE,
it receives all documents into memory. The faxes then print
automatically when you add paper or replace the toner cartridge.
❏
When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine,
the entire message must be no more than 15 seconds long.
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.
Thank you.”
