Voice Mail
7
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone
line as your Océ machine, Voice Mail and the
Océ machine will conflict with each other
when receiving incoming calls.
For example, if your Voice Mail is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Océ machine is
set to answer after 2 rings, then your Océ
machine will answer first. This will prevent
callers from being able to leave a message in
your Voice Mail.
Similarly, if your Océ machine is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Voice Mail is set
to answer after 2 rings, then your Voice Mail
will answer first. This will prevent your Océ
machine from being able to receive an
incoming fax, since Voice Mail cannot
transfer the incoming fax back to the Océ
machine.
To avoid conflicts between your Océ machine
and your Voice Mail service, do one of the
following:
Get the Unique Ring service from your
telephone company. Unique Ring is a feature
of your Océ machine that allows a person
with one line to receive fax and voice calls
through two different telephone numbers on
that one line. Océ uses the term "Unique
Ring", but telephone companies market the
service under a variety of names, such as
Custom Ringing, Personalized Ring, Smart
Ring, RingMaster, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call,
Data Ident-A-Call, Teen Ring, and SimpleBiz
Fax & Alternate Number Ringing. This
service establishes a second telephone
number on the same line as your existing
telephone number, and each number has its
own ring pattern.
Typically, the original number rings with the
standard ring pattern and is used for
receiving voice calls, and the second number
rings with a different ring pattern and is used
for receiving faxes. (See
Unique Ring
on page 56.)
OR
Set your Océ machine’s Answer Mode to
"Manual". Manual Mode requires that you
answer every incoming call if you want to be
able to receive a fax. If the incoming call is a
telephone call, then complete the call as you
normally would. If you hear fax sending tones
you must transfer the call to the Océ machine.
(See
Using external and extension
telephones on page 62.) Unanswered fax
and voice calls will go to your Voice Mail. (To
set the machine in
MANUAL Mode, see
Choose the correct Answer Mode
on page 50.)
