Using An Answering Machine: Ans.machine Mode; Using The Fax-L360 With An Answering Machine - Canon FAX-L360 User Manual

Using an Answering Machine: ANS.MACHINE
MODE
Connecting an answering machine to the FAX-L360 allows you to receive faxes
and phone messages while you are out of the office.
For instructions on connecting an answering machine to the FAX-L360, see
"Connecting an Extension Phone or Answering Machine" on page 2-15.
Canon does not recommend using an "answering service" (like those offered by
local telephone companies that provide voice mail) on the telephone line you are
connecting to the FAX-L360. If you do subscribe to an answering service, you may
Note
want to dedicate a separate line for fax communication only and connect that line to
the FAX-L360.

Using the FAX-L360 With an Answering Machine

Follow these guidelines when using the FAX-L360 with an answering machine:
❏ Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
❏ If the FAX-L360 runs out of paper or toner in ANS.MACHINE MODE, it
receives all faxes into memory. The faxes then print automatically when you
add paper or replace the toner cartridge.
❏ When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine:
• The entire message must be no more than 15 seconds long.
• In the message, tell your callers how to send a fax. For example:
7-12 Receiving Faxes
"Hello. I can't answer the phone right now, but please leave a message after
the beep. I'll return your call as soon as possible. If you would like to send a
fax, press the start button on your fax machine after you leave your message.
Thank you."
