CHAPTER SIX
IMPORTANT! This MFC does not re-generate ringing conditions to any
extension telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring
during the period set on ring delay.
Recording the Fax/Tel Outgoing Announcement
(F/T MESSAGE) (Only for MFC-740)
This is the announcement played by your MFC (not an external TAD)
when someone calls and your MFC is set to Fax/Tel mode. Although
callers hear your announcement, they cannot leave a message. To erase
the announcement, follow the directions in chapter 12, “Erasing the
Outgoing Message”.
1
Press Menu, 1, 8, 3. The screen prompts you to choose F/T
MESSAGE, TAD MESSAGE or PAGING MSG.
2
Press or to select F/T MESSAGE.
3
Press Set.
4
Press Record, then pick up the handset to record a message.
5
Replace the handset. Your announcement is played.
6
Press Stop to exit.
It is not necessary to have an outgoing message. The Fax/Tel mode will
work fine without one. It is only to help the caller understand the status
of your MFC.
For example, you can leave a message that says:
“Hello, please wait, we are trying to connect you. If you wish to send a
fax, please wait until you hear a fax tone and press the Start key, or, press
51 (your three-digit remote activation code) and press the Start key.”
Fax Detect
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you
answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait
for several seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the MFC screen or
when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone
connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your MFC
does the rest. Selecting ON allows the MFC to receive fax calls
automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external
phone. Selecting SEMI lets the MFC receive the call only if you’ve
answered it at the MFC. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the
MFC yourself, by pressing Start or by pressing
5 1 if you are not at
your MFC.
