Connecting a Phone or Answering Machine 15
2. To use a telephone or answering machine, you need a second phone cable.
Connect one end of the cable to the telephone or answering machine, and
connect the other end to the
EXT. port on the back of the NX300/305 Series.
Note:
Remove the cap from the EXT. port, if you haven’t already done so, before
connecting a phone or answering machine.
If your answering machine is set to pick up on the fourth ring, you should set the
NX300/305 Series to pick up on the fifth ring or later:
1. Press the Copy/Fax button to select Fax mode, then press Menu .
2. Press u or d to select Fax Setting , then press OK .
3. Press u or d to select Communication , then press OK .
4. Press u or d to select Rings to Answer , then press OK .
5. Press u or d or use the numeric keypad to select the number of rings, then
press OK . Select more than the number of rings needed for the answering
machine to pick up.
In Auto Answer mode, if the incoming call is a fax and you pick up the phone or
the answering machine answers, the NX300/305 Series automatically begins
receiving the transmission. If the other party is a caller, the phone can be used as
normal or a message can be left on the answering machine.
Note:
A phone or answering machine must be connected to the EXT. port for the NX300/305
Series to detect an incoming fax call when a phone is picked up. If a fax call comes in,
and you pick up the phone without having a phone or answering machine connected to
the EXT. port, the call will be disconnected when you hang up and the NX300/305
Series will not receive the fax.
