ANSWERING MACHINE CONNECTION

If you have connected an answering machine to your fax as described in "Assembly
and 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 ANS. 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.
