Using the unit with an answering machine !
Setting up the fax machine and an answering machine
2 Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4.
● 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.”
● We recommend you record your message around 10 seconds long and not to pause for
more than 4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function
correctly.
4 Activate the answering machine.
5 Set the receive mode of the fax machine to TEL mode (p. 42) or FAX ONLY mode (p. 43).
● If you set to FAX ONLY mode, set the ring count in FAX ONLY mode to
“5 EXT.TAM” (feature #06 on page 53). 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 54.
