Answering
Machine Connection
Preparations
If you have connected an answering machine to your fax as described
in Connections in Chapter 1, you can receive both voice messages and
fax transmissions on the same line while you are out. To use the
connection, first change the outgoing message of your answering
machine, and then set the reception mode of your fax to A.M. when
you go out.
Changing the outgoing message
The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be
changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start
key. For example, your message might go as follows:
"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take
your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press
your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."
Comments:
• •
It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too
long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialling.
• •
Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the
same call. Modify your outgoing message to explain that they can first leave
a voice message, and then press their Start key to send a fax.
