Receiving Faxes
- 46 -
Using the unit with an answering machine
Setting up the fax machine and an answering machine
1
Connect the answering machine.
2
Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4.
L
This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.
3
Record a greeting message on the answering machine.
Example:
“This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to answer the
phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a message, please speak after the
beep. Thank you.”
L
We recommend you record a message up to 10 seconds long, and do not pause for more than
4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function correctly.
4
Activate the answering machine.
5
Set the fax machine to the desired receiving mode (page 44, 45).
L
If you set to FAX ONLY mode,
change the ring setting in FAX ONLY mode to more than 4
(feature #06 on page 63)
. Using FAX ONLY mode will allow you to receive faxes if the answering
machine is full.
6
Check the remote access code of the answering machine and program the same code into the
remote operation ID of the fax machine. See feature #12 on page 64.
