Connecting an Answering Machine

Activating the answering machine connection

Before you go out, activate the answering machine connection as
follows:
1
Set the reception mode to ANS.
2
Set your answering machine to auto answer.
Your answering machine must be set to answer on a maximum of
two rings. If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by
automatic dialling.
If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that
it will answer by the fourth ring.

How answering machine mode operates

Whilst you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by the
answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice callers
can leave a message. During this time, the Sharp Colour MFP will
quietly monitor the line. If the Sharp Colour MFP detects a fax tone or
a duration of silence greater than four seconds, it will take over the
line and begin reception.
When you return and turn
off your answering machine,
be sure to change the
reception mode back to
FAX, TEL, or TEL/FAX!

ANS.
