grasp the top of the operation panel and pull to
open it, and then press down on both sides of the
printer compartment cover.)

• Make sure your fax machine's reception mode is
set to A.M.

connected to the wall jack. Make sure your fax
machine's TEL. SET jack is connected to your
answering machine's telephone line jack (not the
answering machine's extension phone jack).
• Make sure your answering machine's outgoing
message is under 10 seconds.
• Make sure that the Quiet Detect Time setting is set
to three or four seconds (see page 91).
• Make sure that the Distinctive Ring function is set
to OFF SETTING (see page 99).
• If you have checked all of the above and the
hookup still doesn't operate properly, call the
Customer Assistance Center.
