Changing the outgoing message

The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machi ne shoul d be changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start key. For exampl e, your message mig ht go as follows :

"Hello. You’ve reached the ABC company. No one is availabl e to take your call right now. Please le ave a message after the beep or press your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."

Comments:

•• It is advisabl e to kee p the lengt h of the m essa ge under 10 sec ond s. If it is too

long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialling.

•• Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the

same call. Modi fy you r outgoing message to explain that they can fi rst lea ve a voice message, and then press their Start key to send a fax.

Using the Connection

Set the reception mode of your fax to A.M. by pressing the RECEPTION MODE key.

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.

Activating the Answering Machine Hookup

Note: If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is diff erent from the code used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see Chapter 3, Receiving D ocuments). If they are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.

How answering ma chine mode operates

While you are out, all of your incoming call s will be answered by the answering machine and its outgoing message will play. Voic e callers can leave a message. During this time, your fax will qui etly moni to r 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 receptio n.

♦ If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line, the

answering machine and/or fax machine may not respond properly.

♦ The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that

voice messages were received, when only fax messages were received.

Note: To prevent the fax from taking over the line and beginn ing reception if you call in from an external phone or answer on an extension phone, press any three keys (oth er than the code to activate fax reception, "5", "*", and "*") on the dial pad of the phone. This can only be performed from a phone capable of tone dialling.

When you return and turn off your answering machine, be sure to change the reception mode back to FAX/TEL, FAX, or TEL!

Activating the Answering Machine Hookup

Optional A.M. Connection Settings

If necessary, you can use the following sett in gs to improve th e response of the answering machine connection to incoming calls.

Quiet Detect Time

This function causes the fax machine to take over the line and begin reception if a certain duration of silence is detected after the answering machine answers.

Time selections for the period of silence are 1 to 10 seconds. Quiet Detect Time has been set to 4 seconds at the factory. This gives the best performance with most answering machines; however, you may need to adjust this settin g depending on the discon ne ct time of your answering machine.

♦ Some answer ing machines may have unusually fast disconnect

times (equal to or very slightly less than 4 seconds), which means that the answering machine may disconnect the line before fax reception can begin. In this case, try a Quiet Detect Time setting of about 3 seconds.

♦ If the fax machine is interrupting callers before they can leave a

message, try a longer Quiet Detect Time setting. If your outgoing message includes a period of silence, make sure that the setting is longer than that period of silence, or re-record your outgoing message to shorten the silence.

To change the Quiet Detect Time setting, reset Option S ett ing 11 as explained in Chapte r 8, Option Settings.

Note: Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering "00" for the time. Note, however, that the fax machine will not be able to receive faxes sent manually by Normal Dialling.

Activating the Answering Machine Hookup

Select Au to Rece ive

When this function is turned on, your fax will answ er the call after 5 rings if the answering machine for some reason fails to answer before that time. This ensures that you wil l 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 Settin g 14 as explained in Chapter 8, Option Sett in gs.

Note: When this function is turned on, make sure that the answering machine is set to answer on 4 r ings 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 th e start of the Quiet Detect Time function. For exampl e, if you want to insert a pause at the beginnin g of your answering machine’s outgoin g message to ensure clear detection of fax signals, you can use this settin g to delay the start of silence detection so that the pause wil l not cause the fax to take over the line.

Quiet Detect Start Timin g has been turned off at the factory. If you want to use this function, turn it on by resetting Optio n Set ting 12 to the desired delay time (1 to 15 seconds). This procedure is explained in Chapter 8, Option Settings. As a general guide, the delay time should be slight ly longer than t he pau se before the outgoi ng m essage.

Off Hook Hold

This setting can be used to make the fax autom aticall y take over the line and attempt reception after a set number of seconds.

For normal operation , we recommend that you do not turn this function on; howev er, if you ar e having tro ubl e receivin g faxes in A.M. mode, yo u can try various t im e settings t o se e if it helps. Turn the function on by setting Option Settin g 13 to the desired number of seconds (1 to 255 seconds). This procedure is explained in Chapter 8, Option Setting s.
