Message Centre (Only for FAX-737MC)
Message Centre Mode
Message Centre Mode allows you to store incoming fax and voice messages in a flexible memory.
The memory stores 15 minutes of voice messages, or up to 20 pages of fax messages. The actual
number of pages stored in memory varies depending on the content and the resolution used. Memory
is shared between fax and voice messages, which are stored on a “first-come, first-served” basis. Any
voice or fax message can be retrieved remotely.
You must record an Outgoing Message in order to use the Message Centre Mode. (See Recording
the Message Centre’s Outgoing Message (MSG CTR OGM), page 66.)
Flexible Memory Settings (Message Store)
Message Centre Mode offers you six flexible memory settings, so that you can decide which kinds
of messages you want to receive.
