Using an Answering machine
You can connect a telephone answering device (TAD) directly to the back of your printer as
shown in Figure 1.
Set your printer to
Ans/Fax mode and set the Ring to Answer to a digit greater than the Rings
to Answer setting for the TAD.
• When the TAD picks up the call, the printer monitors and takes the line if fax tones are
received and then starts receiving the fax.
• If the answering device is off, the printer automatically goes into Fax mode after a
predefined number of rings.
• If you answer the call and hear fax tones, the printer will answer the fax call if you
access
Fax On Hook Dial and press Start ( ) and then hang up the receiver, or
press the remote receive code *9* and hang up the receiver.
