7-12 Chapter 7Receiving Faxes
Using an Answering Machine: ANS.MACHINE MODE
See page 7-3 to select ANS.MACHINE MODE.
Connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS L60 allows you to receive
faxes and phone messages while you are out of the office.
In ANS.MACHINE MODE, the MultiPASS L60 allows the answering machine
to answer incoming calls, then listens for a fax tone or for six seconds of silence
(also an indication that a fax is coming in), and automatically receives the fax if it
detects the fax tone or a six-second silence.
For instructions on connecting an answering machine to the MultiPASS L60, see
”Connecting the Optional Handset, a Telephone, or Answering Machine” on
page 2-17.
Canon does not recommend using an ”answering service” (like those offered by
local telephone companies that provide voice mail) on the telephone line you are
connecting to the MultiPASS L60. If you do subscribe to an answering service,
you may want to dedicate a separate line for fax communication only and
connect that line to the MultiPASS L60.
Using the MultiPASS L60 With an Answering Machine
Follow these guidelines when using the MultiPASS L60 with an answering
machine:
½ Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
½ If the MultiPASS L60 runs out of paper or toner in ANS.MACHINE MODE,
it receives all faxes into memory. The faxes then print automatically when you
add paper or replace the toner cartridge.
½ When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine:
¼ Leave a four-second pause at the beginning of the message.
¼ The entire message, including the four-second pause, must be no more than
15 seconds long.
¼ In the message, tell your callers how to send a fax. For example:
”Hello. I can’t answer the phone right now, but please leave a message
after the beep. I’ll return your call as soon as possible. If you would like
to send a fax, press the start button on your fax machine after you leave
your message. Thank you.”
