Set the number of rings on the answering machine to less than 4.

This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.

Record a greeting message on the answering machine.
Example:
“This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to
answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a
message, please speak after the beep. Thank you.”
●
We recommend you record your message around 10 seconds long and not to pause for
more than 4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function
correctly.

Set the receive mode of the fax machine to TEL mode (p. 44) or FAX ONLY mode (p. 45).
●
If you set to FAX ONLY mode, set the ring count in FAX ONLY mode to more than 4
(feature #06 on page 57). Using FAX ONLY mode will allow you to receive faxes if the
answering machine is full.
