Changing the outgoing
message
The outgoing message (OGM) of your
answering machine should be
changed to inform callers who want to
send a fax to press their Start key.
For example, your message might go
as follows:
"Hello. You've reached the ABC
company. No one is available to take
your call right now. Please leave a
message after the beep or press your
facsimile Start key to send a fax.
Thank you for calling."
Comments:
♦
It is advisable to keep the length of
the message under 10 seconds. If it
is too long, you may have difficulty
receiving faxes sent by automatic
dialling.
♦
If your outgoing message must be
longer than 10 seconds, leave a
pause of about four seconds at the
beginning of the message. This will
give your fax a chance to detect fax
tones sent when automatic dialling
is used.
