Recording Outgoing Message (OGM)
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 MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic
transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. (See Easy Receive, page 5-2.)
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.”
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence
because the MFC cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You
may try omitting this pause, but if your MFC has trouble receiving, then
you must rerecord the OGM to include it.
