Using an Answering Machine
You can connect a telephone answering device (TAD) directly to the back of your printer in the following illustration.
Set your printer to Ans/Fax mode and set the Rings to Answer to a digit greater than the Rings to Answer setting for the TAD.
l When the TAD picks up the call, the printer monitors and takes the line if a fax tone is received and starts receiving the fax.
l If the answering device is off, the printer automatically goes into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
l If you answer the call by accident and hear fax tones, the printer may answer the fax call for you by
accessing Fax On Hook Dial Yes and press Start (u) and then hang up the receiver, or press the remote receive code *9* and hang up the receiver.
