Connecting an Answering Machine
100
How the connection operates
While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by
your answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voice
callers can leave a message. During this time, your fax will quietly
monitor the line. If your fax 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
AUTO or MANUAL!

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 dialing.
•
If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that
it will answer by the fourth ring.
