Fax detector
When your Image 2000 is working with an
answer machine, and a call comes in, your
answer machine will answer the call first and
your Image 2000 will take over the call if it
detects that it is a fax call.
If your Image 2000 fails to take fax calls off the
answer machine there may be several reasons,
the most likely are:-
i) Your answer machine may drop the line
before the fax machine has had the chance to
detect fax tones (within 7 seconds of the
‘speak after the tone’ beep). If this is
happening you should change the fax detector
from A to B.
ii) Your outgoing message on the answer
machine may be too long, so the calling
machine ‘gives up’ before your Image 2000 has
the chance to respond. The maximum
optimum length of the message will vary with
the number of rings your answer machine is
set to answer after and with the fax detector
you have selected (see following).

If you are trying to receive faxes from abroad
you may find that you need to shorten your
message further.
To change the fax detector
The fax detector is pre-set to A. If the Image
2000 is failing to take faxes off the answer
machine, or you want to use a longer outgoing
message, you can change to fax detector B.

change this time but, if you find your Image
2000 switches to fax when callers are trying
to leave messages, reduce it to be equal to
the length of the outgoing message on your
answer machine (in seconds) plus 10
seconds.

If your answer machine is a single tape machine
without a digital outgoing message you may need to
make the detect time longer to allow for the wind
forward time when you have a number of messages
recorded.
