ANS/FAX MODE
Select ANS/FAX mode.
FRI
In this mode, the fax machine can share the same telephone line
with an answering machine. The ANS/FAX mode is available only
when connecting an answering machine to the EXT.TEL jack on
your fax machine.
When a call is received, the answering machine answers and plays
the outgoing message recorded on the answering machine.
If a fax tone or a certain time period of silence is detected on the
line by your fax machine-the call automatically switches over to the
fax machine and reception begins, overriding the answering
machine's announcement.
If someone wants to speak with you - your fax machine ignores the
call. The caller can leave a voice message on the answering
machine.
Notes:
• If you have trouble receiving faxes in the ANS/FAX mode, change the
silence detection time mode as described in "Setting System Data" in
chapter 2. This feature in the user options will ensure fax r e c e p t i o n
when a fax tone is not detected on the line by your fax machine.
• If the answering machine does not answer within several rings for such
reasons as the recording message is full on the tape or the answering
machine is switched off, your fax machine automatically receives the
document. If the answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter,
set the machine to answer an incoming call within 4 rings.
• When you are using the manual receiving mode and an answering
machine is installed, be sure to switch off the answering machine,
otherwise the OGM from the answering machine might disrupt your
telephone conversation.
• Set your answering machine to VOX mode (if applicable). VOX stands
for "Voice Operated" which allows disconnection when a period of
silence is detected by the answering machine.
