CHAPTER TWO
Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the
ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20
seconds.
2
Allow 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows the fax to detect the calling tone prior to OGM, so
reception can be faster.)
3
We recommend that you end your OGM by giving your Remote
Activation Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing
51 and Start.”
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received
automatically because some fax machines do not send a fax tone if the
call is manually dialled. In these cases you must inform callers that they
must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.
Connecting an External Telephone
Your machine 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) to your machine, as shown below.
(Example
for the U.K.)
Whenever this external phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays
EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the machine’s handset is lifted, an alarm
sounds.
To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the fax
machine, lift the handset and press Tel (for MFC-9550 only).
