Using an Answering Machine: ANS.MACHINE MODE

See page 7-3 to select ANS.MACHINE MODE.
Connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS L60 allows you to
receive faxes and phone messages while you are out of the office.
In ANS.MACHINE MODE, the MultiPASS L60 allows the answering
machine to answer incoming calls, then listens for a fax tone or for six
seconds of silence (also an indication that a fax is coming in), and
automatically receives the fax if it detects the fax tone or a six-second
silence.
For instructions on connecting an answering machine to the
MultiPASS L60, see "Connecting the Optional Handset, a Telephone,
or Answering Machine" on page 2-17.
N
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 MultiPASS L60. If you do
subscribe to an answering service, you may want to dedicate a separate
line for fax communication only and connect that line to the MultiPASS
L60.

Using the MultiPASS L60 With an Answering Machine

Follow these guidelines when using the MultiPASS L60 with an
answering machine:
Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
If the MultiPASS L60 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:
7-12
Receiving Faxes
• Leave a four-second pause at the beginning of the message.
• The entire message, including the four-second pause, must be
no more than 15 seconds long.
• In the message, tell your callers how to send a fax. For example:
"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."
