Changing the outgoing message
The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be 
changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start 
key. For example, your message might go as follows:
Hello. Youve reached the ABC company. No one is available to take 
your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press 
your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling.
♦Try to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too 
long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic 
dialing.
♦If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a 
pause of about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This 
will give your fax a chance to detect fax tones sent when automatic 
dialing is used.
Activating the answering machine connection
Before you go out, activate the answering machine connection as 
follows:
1Set the reception mode to A.M.
FAX
TEL
A.M.RECEPTION 
          MODE

Note:
If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the 
code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to 
activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see page 76). If they 
are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve 
messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.
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 
FAX or TEL!
2Set 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.

Optional A.M. Mode Settings
If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the 
response of the answering machine hookup to incoming calls.
Quiet Detect Time
The fax machine is set to take over the line and begin reception if it 
detects 4 seconds of silence after the answering machine answers. If 
needed, you can change this setting to any number of seconds from 1 
to 10. 
♦We recommend that you do not set Quiet Detect Time under 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.
Note:
Quiet Detect Time can be turned off by entering 00 for the time. Note, 
however, that the fax machine may not be able to receive manually-sent 
faxes from some older fax machines.

Fax when Answering machine Fails
When this function is turned on, your fax will answer the call after 5 
rings if the answering machine for some reason fails to answer before 
that time. This ensures that you will 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, follow the steps below:
Note:
When this function is turned on, make sure that the answering machine is 
set to answer on 4 rings or less. If it isn’t, the fax will always answer first, 
preventing callers from leaving voice messages.

the Caller ID List.
♦After you have received 20 calls, each new call will delete the 
oldest call.
Follow the steps below to view the Caller ID List in the display. If 
desired, you can immediately dial a number when it appears.

Blocking voice calls
With Caller ID turned on, you can use the Anti Junk Fax function 
described in Blocking Reception of Unwanted Faxes in this chapter to 
block voice calls as well as fax receptions (the Anti Junk Fax function 
normally only blocks faxes).
In this case, when a voice call or a fax transmission comes in from a 
number you have specified as a Junk Number, your fax will break 
the connection as soon as it receives the calling phone number from 
the caller ID service (before the second ring).
To use this function, turn on the Anti Junk function and then enter the 
number in the Anti Junk Number List as explained in Blocking 
Reception of Unwanted Faxes in this chapter (see page 108).
Note: This function cannot be used if you are using the Distinctive Ring 
function.(Example)
