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, you must
first set your fax for operation with an answering machine and change your
answering machine's outgoing message.
Setting A.M. connection to YES
To set the fax for operation with an answering machine, reset Option Setting 10
("A.M. CONNECTED") to YES. This procedure is described in Chapter 6, "Optional
Settings".
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. Modi~ your outgoing message to explain that they can first leave a
voice message, and then press their Stati key to send a fax.
