Answering Machine Backup - Xerox WorkCentre Pro 16FX User Manual

Using the Machine with an Answering Machine
If Quiet Detect Time is not working properly...
With some answering machines, there is simply no Quiet Detect Time that will allow both
reception of faxes and uninterrupted voice messages. Even in this case, however, you can set up
the machine to receive both phone and fax messages from callers on touch-tone lines. Follow
this procedure:
1. Set the Quiet Detect Time to 00.
2. Alter your phone message to tell callers that they can send a fax by pressing the Remote
Reception Number (factory set to 5), followed by the "*" key twice, and then the Start Fax key
of their fax machine.

Answering Machine Backup

There may be times when the tape on your answering machine becomes full, or when the
answering machine itself malfunctions. It is still possible to receive faxes under these conditions
by turning on the Auto Receive function. The machine will automatically answer all calls after five
rings. To use this function, follow the procedure below.

Note: If you are using Auto Receive, make sure that your answering machine is set to answer on
four rings or less. Otherwise, the machine will take over all calls, preventing callers from leaving
voice messages.
