How the fax machine and answering machine work
Receiving voice calls
The answering machine will record voice messages automatically.
Receiving fax calls
The fax machine will receive documents automatically when the machine detects a calling tone.
Receiving a voice message and fax document in one call
The answering machine will record the voice message first. The fax machine will then be
activated by the caller’s request and will receive the document.
We recommend that you always connect the fax machine directly to the wall jack.
Note:
●
Set the fax machine to the TEL mode.
●
The device which has the shortest ring count will answer a call first.
●
If you use your computer as an answering machine, connect the telephone line cord from the EXT jack to
the computer (KX-FP181 only).
Receiving a voice message and fax document in one call
The caller can leave a voice message and send a fax document during the same call.
Inform the caller of the following procedure beforehand.
1. The caller calls your fax machine.
●
The answering machine will answer the call.
2. The caller can leave a message after the greeting message.
3. The caller presses
(pre-selected fax activation code).
●
The fax machine will activate the fax function.
4. The caller presses the start button to send a document.
Note:

The fax activation code can be changed in feature #41 (p. 68).

If the wrong fax activation code is entered, the caller must wait at least 5 seconds to reenter the correct
code.
