Setting up the fax machine and an answering machine

Note:

●

We recommend you keep the greeting message around to 10 seconds long. If the greeting message is too long, some incoming fax calls may not be answered by the fax machine.

●

Every time the fax machine receives a document, a silent pause or fax tone may be recorded on the answering machine.

Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4.

●

This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.

Record a greeting message on the answering machine.

Example:

“This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a message, please speak after the beep. Thank you.”

Activate the answering machine.

Set the receive mode of the fax machine to the TEL mode (p. 40) or FAX ONLY mode (p. 41).

●

If you set to the FAX ONLY mode, set the ring count in the FAX ONLY mode to more than 5 (feature #06 on page 65). Using the FAX ONLY mode will allow you to

receive faxes if the answering machine is full.

Check the remote access code of the answering machine and program the same code into the remote operation ID of the fax machine. See feature #12 on page 66.

Using an answering machine (KX-FP181 only)

Problem

●

Your greeting message on the answering machine is too long. Shorten the message (up to 10 seconds).

●

The remote access code on your answering machine is the same as your fax activation code. Set a different number for features #12 (p. 66) and #41 (p. 68).

●

You did not program your remote access code in your fax machine correctly. Program the same code that is programmed on the answering machine to the fax machine with feature #12 (p. 66).

●

The code may include “#” which is used for certain features provided by telephone companies. Change the code on the answering machine to another number which does not include “#”. Also change the code of the fax machine with feature #12 (p. 66).
