Canon L250 Fax Machine User Manual


 
Using an Answering Machine: ANS.MACHINE MODE
See page 6-3 to select ANS.MACHINE MODE.
Connecting an answering machine to the FAX-L250 allows you to receive faxes and phone messages
while you are out of the office.
In ANS.MACHINE MODE, the FAX-L250 allows the answering machine to answer incoming calls,
then listens for a fax tone or for four 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 four-second silence.
For instructions on connecting an answering machine to the
FAX-L250, see Connecting the Optional Handset, a Telephone, or Answering Machineon page 2-15.
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 FAX-L250. 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
FAX-L250.
j Using the FAX-L250 with an Answering Machine
Follow these guidelines when using the FAX-L250 with an answering machine:
Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
If the FAX-L250 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.
When recording the outgoing message on the answering machine:
+ Leave a four-second pause at the beginning of the message.
+ The entire message, including the four-second pause, must be no more than 15 seconds long.
+ 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.
