FAX/Answering Machine Auto Switch Reception
This method is convenient when using both the answering machine and fax. When fax originals have been sent,
the machine receives them automatically, and when the call is from a telephone, the machine follows the
functions of the connected answering machine. Therefore, when the user is absent, the other party can leave
a message on the answering machine.
IMPORTANT: When using FAX/Answering Machine Auto Switch Reception function, if a silence continues for
at least 30 seconds before one minute passes after the machine has received a call from the other party, the
machine’s silence detection function comes into operation and the machine switches to fax reception.
NOTE:
In order to use FAX/Answering Machine Auto Switch Reception, it is necessary to connect an
answering machine-equipped telephone set (commercially available product) to the machine.
For details, such as responding to messages, refer to the Operation Guide of each answering machine.
Set the number of rings to be made by the machine more than the number of rings to be made by the answering
machine. (Refer to
