CHAPTER FIVE
Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine
continues the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.
Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in Fax/Tel
(F/T) Mode, because some fax machines do not send the standard Group
3 calling tone (“CNG”).
IMPORTANT: This machine 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-9550)
This is the announcement played by your machine (not an external TAD)
when someone calls and your machine is set to Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode.
Although callers hear your announcement, they cannot leave a message.
To erase the announcement, follow the directions in chapter 10, “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 (F/T) Mode
will work fine without one. It is only to help the caller understand the
status of your machine.
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.”
