Recording Outgoing Message on External TAD, Connecting an External Telephone

Page 32 highlights

3 Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The FAX/MFC's Ring Delay setting does not apply). 4 Record the outgoing message (see below). 5 Set the TAD to answer calls. Set the Receive Mode to TAD: ANSWER MACH. (Press Receive Mode.) Recording Outgoing Message on External TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. 1 Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your FAX/MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.) 2 Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. 3 End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example: "After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 5 1 and Start." Connecting an External Telephone Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your FAX/MFC. Connect the modular plug on the telephone's line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the left side of the FAX/MFC. Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the FAX/MFC handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the FAX/MFC, press Hook. Special Line Considerations Roll Over Phone Lines A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or "rolled over" to the next available phone line in a preset order. Your FAX/MFC can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the FAX/MFC on any of the other numbers-when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call would be transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your FAX/MFC will work best on a dedicated line. 2 - 10 A S S E M B L Y A N D C O N N E C T I O N S

Recording Outgoing Message on External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to
handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your
FAX/MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing
5 1 and Start.”
Connecting an External Telephone
Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone.
However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering
device) directly to your FAX/MFC.
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT.
on the left side of the FAX/MFC.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE,
and, if the FAX/MFC handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call
on the external phone and switch to the FAX/MFC, press
Hook
.
Special Line Considerations
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that
pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed
down or “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your FAX/MFC can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number
in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the FAX/MFC on any
of the other numbers—when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is
received, the fax call would be transferred to a line that does not have a fax
machine. Your FAX/MFC will work best on a dedicated line.
