Chapter 7 Answering Machine Connection
Select Auto Receive
When this function is turned on, your fax will answer the call after 5 rings if the
answering machine for some reason fails to answer before that time. This en-
sures that you will receive fax messages even if the answering machine's tape
fills up or the answering machine is not turned on.
This function has been turned off at the factory. If you want to turn it on, reset
Option Setting 13 as described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
Note: When this function is turned on, make sure that the answering machine
is set to answer on 4 rings or less. If it isn't, the fax will always answer first,
preventing callers from leaving voice messages.
Quiet Detect Start Timing
This setting can be used to delay the start of the Quiet Detect Time function. For
example, if you want to insert a pause at the beginning of your answering ma-
chine's outgoing message to ensure clear detection of fax signals, you can use
this setting to delay the start of silence detection so that the pause will not cause
the fax to take over the line.
Quiet Detect Start Timing has been turned off at the factory. If you want to use
this function, turn it on by resetting Option Setting 11 to the desired delay time
(1 to 15 seconds). This procedure is described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
As a general guide, the delay time should be slightly longer than the pause be-
fore the outgoing message.
Off Hook Hold
This setting can be used to make the fax automatically take over the line and at-
tempt reception after a set number of seconds.
For normal operation, we recommend that you do not turn this function on; how-
ever, if you are having trouble receiving faxes in A.M. mode, you can try vari-
ous time settings to see if it helps. Turn the function on by resetting Option
Setting 12 to the desired number of seconds (1 to 255 seconds). This procedure
is described in Chapter 9, "Optional Settings".
Hint: This setting is useful in situations where you only want to receive fax
transmissions (no voice messages), but still want to use the answering ma-
chine to play an outgoing message. In this case, if your outgoing message
was, for example, 14 seconds, you would set the time to 15 seconds.
