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."
♦
Try to keep the length of the
message under 10 seconds. If it is
too long, you may have difficulty
receiving faxes sent by automatic
dialing.
♦
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 dialing
is used.
Make sure the
TEL. LINE jack
is connected to
the wall jack.
