your document and press the REDIAL key.
User’s Guide
FAX mode
This is an automatic answering mode. Your fax machine will
automatically answer incoming calls after a certain number of
rings (the number can be changed under RING RESPONSE in
the Function Menu - see ‘Setting User Preferences’ section for
details). In this mode your machine will send an audible tone to
the caller, designed to be detected by a remote fax machine.
21
Incoming fax messages are received, and the call is terminated
automatically on completion. This mode is most useful when
you have a dedicated fax line.
TEL/FAX mode
This is an automatic answering mode. If the incoming call is a
voice call, your fax machine will emit a ringing sound to attract
your attention.
If you do not answer the call within a set time (see ‘TEL/FAX
Timer’ in the ‘Setting User Preferences’ section) your machine
will automatically switch to fax receiving mode. If there is
no calling fax machine the call will be terminated.
With the OKIFAX 660, the TEL/FAX mode can only be
used if you have recorded outgoing message 3 (OGM3)
(see ‘Using the Answer Machine’ section for details).
After your fax machine answers the call, any additional
phones on the same line will not ring.
If the call is from a remote fax machine your machine will
automatically switch to fax receiving mode and receive the
incoming transmission.
This mode is most useful if you are in attendance and wish to
manually answer incoming voice calls and automatically answer
incoming fax calls on the same line.
Note that some older fax machines do not send the initial
audible tones necessary to enable automatic detection. In
this case your fax machine will ring as for a voice call. If
you pick up the handset and hear nothing, press START/
COPY to begin reception.
22
T AD/FAX mode
This is an automatic answering mode. The OKIFAX 660 uses builtin digital voice answering technology. With the OKIFAX 610
an external answering machine (not supplied) may be connected
to handle incoming voice calls.
This mode is most useful if you are not in attendance and wish
to automatically receive incoming voice and fax calls on the
same line.
OKIFAX 660
The fax machine will answer incoming calls after a set number
of rings (the number can be changed under RING RESPONSE in
the Function Menu - see ‘Setting User Preferences’ section for details).
Outgoing message 1 (OGM1) will be played to the caller. This
message must have been pre-recorded for this function to operate
correctly .
OKIFAX 610/660

for you to hear later.
If the call is from a remote fax machine, the fax message will be
received automatically and no attempt will be made to record a
voice message.
nothing is heard switch to fax receiving mode and receive
the incoming transmission from the older machine (see
‘Silence Detection’ in the ‘Setting Answer Machine
Preferences’ section to change the waiting period).
Reception in memory
OKIFAX 610
A separate answering machine may be connected to take
incoming voice messages. In this case the answering machine
will answer all incoming calls.
If the incoming call is a voice call, your answering machine can
record a message for you to hear later.
If the call is from a remote fax machine, your fax machine will
automatically take over and receive the fax message.
If the answering machine fails to answer within the number of
rings set under RING RESPONSE in the Function Menu, f or
example when the tape is full, your fax machine will answer the
call in case the caller wishes to send you a fax message.
Note that some older fax machines do not send the initial
audible tones necessary to enable automatic detection. In
this case your fax machine can wait for a number of seconds
after the outgoing message for the caller to speak, and if
User’s Guide
If your fax machine is not immediately able to print a received
document due to an error such as a printer fault, paper jam, no
recording paper or if the printer ribbon is exhausted, then the
message will be received in memory and will be printed out when
the fault is rectified. Your machine’s memory can hold
approximately 50 pages depending on the page content.
Reception via second telephone
If you have a second telephone connected to your machine or to
the same incoming line, you may pick up an incoming call
simply by lifting the handset to talk. Dial ‘1’ then ‘9’ within 30
seconds of answering to activate fax reception mode.
Your telephone must be set to tone dialling for this
function.
This function is not available in some countries.

User’s Guide
27
OKIFAX 610
Once you have installed your external answer machine in line
with instructions in the “Connecting an answering machine”
section, in TAD/FAX mode your answer machine will always
answer calls first and your fax machine will take over the call if
it detects that it is a fax call.
If you experience any problems in receiving fax messages
when the machine is in TAD/FAX reception mode, try
changing the FAX DETECTION setting from FA XDETECTOR A to FAX DETECTOR B as per the
instructions in ‘F AX DETECTION (OKIF AX 610)’ in the

answer machine to as low as possible (preferable not higher
than 2 rings) and your fax machine’s TAD/FAX ring
response one ring higher than that of your external answer
machine (see ‘Ring Response’ in the ‘Setting user
preferences’ section). This will enable your external answer
machine to always answer voice calls first and your fax
machine to automatically take over and receive calls from
remote fax machines.
If your answer machine does not answer a call because its
memory is full or it is not turned on, your fax machine will
then start reception for incoming fax calls automatically.

The outgoing message (OGM) is the message a caller hears when
your fax machine answers a call.
Multi-user example: “Thank you for calling. Please select
the person for whom you wish to leave a message. Dial 01
for Tom, 02 for Dick or 03 for Harry befor e the end of this
message, then leave your message after the tone.
Alternatively, you may start a fax transmission now, or
dial 19 to activate this fax machine.”
OGM2:Played automatically in T AD/F AX mode when
memory is full.
For example: “Thank you for calling. I’m sorry but we can’t
recor d your message at this time . Please call again later. If
you wish to send us a fax, please start your transmission
now, or dial 19 to activate this fax machine.”
OGM3:Played automatically in TEL/FAX mode.
Example: “Please wait a moment for your call to be
answered, or start a fax transmission now, or dial 19 to
activate this fax machine.”
You can record three different OGMs to deal with different
situations.
OGM1:Played automatically in TAD/FAX mode.
Single user example: “Thank you for calling. Please leave
a message after the tone, or you may start a fax transmission
now, or dial 19 to activate this fax machine.”
User’s Guide
If you don’t want callers to hear the OGM 3 message when
they call, make sure that your OGM3 message is less than
5 seconds long and it will not be audible (not available in
some countries).
If you have not recorded, or have lost any of the OGMs,
your answer machine will not operate and your fax
machine will automatically go into FAX reception mode.

Recording incoming voice messages
When your fax machine is operating in TAD/FAX mode,
incoming calls will be answered automatically with outgoing
message 1 (OGM1). At the end of the outgoing message the
machine will listen for a voice message. If the caller does not
speak within the period of time set in the SILENCEDETECTION option in the Function Menu (the default is 6
seconds), the machine will switch to fax receiving mode, and
will transmit audible fax tones to the line.
Callers should be advised to leave messages of at least 5
seconds’ duration.
If the caller is using a telephone equipped with tone dialling
(these tones are usually audible when dialling), the following
remote control features are available:
•The caller may dial 01, 02 or 03 before the end of OGM1 to
leave a message in voice box 1, 2 or 3 (default is 1).
•The caller may dial ‘1’ then ‘9’ to immediately activate fax
receive mode.
This would be useful if the caller had an older fax machine
which does not emit audible tones until it ‘hears’ your fax
machine. By activating receive mode, your machine will
emit fax tones which will enable communication with the
caller’s machine.
If the caller uses these remote control codes, each key press will
result in an audible beep from your fax machine, so that the
caller can tell that the key press has been accepted.
If you wish to interrupt an incoming message and speak to the
caller directly, simply pick up the telephone handset on your
fax machine.
From a second telephone connected directly to your machine
(some countries only), you may also answer by lifting the handset
on that telephone.
To interrupt recording from another telephone connected to the
same incoming line as your fax machine, lift the handset and
dial ‘1’ then ‘0’ (tone dialling telephones only).

Remote access to voice messages
Y our fax machine pro vides full remote access from any telephone,
anywhere in the world, equipped with tone dialling (these tones
are usually audible when dialling).
1.Dial your fax number and wait for the outgoing message.
2.Whilst the OGM is playing, dial 01, 02 or 03 to select the
voice box you wish to access. You will hear one, two or
three beeps depending on which box you have selected,
followed by a further tone.
•Dial * to activate fax receiving.
•Dial 0 to finish remote access and disconnect.
Toll saving feature
Regardless of the setting of your fax machine’ s ring response, if
you have new voice messages stored,in any of the three voice
boxes, your fax machine will answer incoming calls after 1 ring
(2 rings in some countries). If you set the answer machine’s ring
response to 3 rings, your machine will answer after 3 rings if no
messages (or no new messages) are stored, or after 1 ring (2 rings
in some countries) if you have new messages.
3.Press the [#] key and wait until you hear two beeps. Then
enter the voice box password to gain access.
4.After 3 beeps, your machine will start playing incoming
messages/memos. If there are no messages/memos, you will
hear 7 beeps and the unit will disconnect.
If you do not set passwords for your voice boxes, you will
not be able to access them remotely. The default setting
‘000’ disables remote access.
You now have the following options:
•Dial 1 to play back memos and incoming messages (at the end you
have 4 seconds to select one of the options listed).
•Dial 2 to skip forward to the next message (3 beeps = end).
•Dial 3 to skip backward to the previous message (3 beeps = end).
•Dial 4 to erase the message being played.
34
You may then call from a remote location to check for new
messages and if the telephone rings more than once (twice in
some countries), hang up before the 3rd ring to avoid incurring
call charges.
It is recommended that you set your machine’s answer
machine ring response to no higher than 3.
Some older fax machines when trying to send to your
machine need to hear your fax machine’s answer within
30 seconds or they will automatically disconnect. If you
experience this problem, try to ensure that the total time
of your ring response, outgoing message and silence
detection is less than 30 seconds.

of recording time. Using this setting you may either increase
this time to 3 minutes or remove the time limit. Bear in mind
that fewer long messages will fit into the internal memory before
it fills up.
You can change this setting under ANSWERPHONE -MESSAGE LIMIT in the Function menu (see ‘Function Menu
Settings’ section or press FUNCTION + 9 for quick access).
External TAD switch (OKIFAX 660)
If you frequently run out of memory due to receipt of large
numbers of memos and/or incoming voice messages, it is
possible to connect an external telephone answering machine
to take over when memory is full. This machine may be connected
to the TEL 2 socket on the side of your fax machine (only
available in certain countries), or to another connection point
on the same telephone line (see ‘Connecting an answer machine
or second telephone’ earlier in this book). If this function is set
to ON, when memory becomes full, your fax machine will halt
and let the external machine answer incoming calls.
To change this setting, see ANSWERPHONE - EXT. TAD in
the Function menu (see‘Function Menu Settings’ section) or
press FUNCTION + 9 for quick access.
User’s Guide
35
You are advised to set the ring response of your external
answer machine to higher (preferrably one ring) than that
of your internal answer machine (see ‘Ring Response’ in
the ‘Setting user preferences’ section). This will enable
your internal answer machine to always answer calls first
if enough memory is available.
This is useful for some older fax machines which do not
send the initial audible tones necessary to enable automatic
detection. In this case, your fax machine can wait for a
number of seconds after the outgoing message for the caller
to speak, and then switch to fax receiving mode and
receive the incoming transmission.
T AD monitor (OKIFAX 660)
This function allows you to listen to your incoming voice
messages as they are being received.
It can be switched ON or OFF under ANSWERPHONE - TADMONITOR in the Function menu (see‘Function Menu Settings’

Silence detector (OKIFAX 610 and 660)
In TAD/F AX mode y our fax machine will automatically answ er
an incoming call with your outgoing voice message. It will then
listen for speech. If no speech is detected within a certain number
of seconds, your machine will automatically switch to fax receive
mode. This is known as silence detection, and may be set to 3, 6
or 9 seconds or disabled if you wish.
You can change this setting under ANSWERPHONE -SILENCE DETECTOR in the Function menu (see ‘Function
Menu Settings’ section) or press FUNCTION + 9 for quick access.

if you are experiencing problems in receiving fax messages.
(See ‘Functions Menu Settings’ section or press FUNCTION +
9 for quick access to the ANSWERPHONE functions).
Before you change the setting to FAX DETECT OR B, try
setting the ring response of your answer machine as low
as possible (preferably not higher than 2 rings) and keep
your outgoing message short (less than 20 seconds).
If this does not solve the problem, select FAXDETECTOR B.

If you experience a problem, this section may help you to resolve
it quickly . If the problem persists, please consult your equipment
supplier or technical service provider.
Print quality problems
If received fax documents are not clear , it may be that the remote
party has not selected the correct resolution. If you receive
complaints that documents you have sent are unclear, try
resending them at a higher resolution, or adjusting contrast (see
‘Setting User Preferences’). You can see what the document looks
like after scanning by making a local copy (see ‘Copying’).
Cleaning the scanner
If there is a problem with the quality of a fax you have sent or a
copied document, clean the scanner as indicated below:
1.Open the front panel by pushing the button on the top right

Series Connection
NOTE 1
The OKIFAX 610/660 causes a voltage drop of 1.35V when
passing a PSTN current up to and including 40mA dc. Do
not connect the OKIFAX 610/660 with apparatus which, with
associated wiring causes the aggregate of the voltage drops
to exceed a value of 2V at a PSTN line current of 40mA dc.
Only one OKIFAX 610/660 should be connected between any
series connected apparatus and the PSTN.
Difficulties may occasionally be experienced when making calls
from other apparatus connected to the PSTN via the series
apparatus. Such difficulties may include:
(i) Difficulty in making calls
(ii) Problems in telephone conversion being experienced by
both parties to the call
(iii)Such that any apparatus which forms part of the RBS or
is connected via it, is so connected that no signals of
any kind may be conveyed between that apparatus and a
PSTN circuit or vice-versa, except by means of other
apparatus that does not materially affect the electrical
conditions presented to one another by that apparatus
and the PSTN.
Further information is contained in the proposed British
Standard for RBS to PSTN lines.

TEL/FAX Change Over
NOTE 2
When the OKIFAX 610 or 660 is in changeover mode, care
must be taken to ensure that you only connect the apparatus
to telephone lines not listed in the telephone directories
issued by the Public Telephone Network Operators.
The telephone number of this apparatus should not be issued
to other parties without instructions concerning the correct
method of making calls to this apparatus.
While operation may be possible initially, changes to or
modernisation of the network taking place in the normal course
of events may result in the apparatus being connected to a
network service with which it was not designed to be
compatible. Failure of the apparatus to work under these
circumstances may not be the responsibility of the network
operator.
If such difficulties are experienced, please consult your
OKIFAX supplier.
