Receiving documents with an answering machine:
ANS.MACHINE MODE ________________________
Connecting an answering machine to your fax allows you to receive documents and telephone messages
while you are out.
In ANS.MACHINE MODE, your fax allows the answering machine to answer incoming calls, then listens
for the fax tone and automatically receives the document if it detects this tone.
For this mode, you need to connect an answering machine to your fax. (see pp. 1-5, 1-6)
