Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
Using an answering machine with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax
If you use an answering machine to retrieve and record messages from telephone
callers when you are not available to pick up the handset, you can set up your
telephone to work with both the answering machine and the printer.
However, because answering machines cannot recognize fax calls or record fax
signals for conversion later to a fax printout, care must be taken if you plan to accept
fax calls automatically.
Before using your printer to accept faxes automatically when you are also using an
answering machine, make sure the answering machine is connected correctly to the
printer (see the illustrations that follow). Make sure the answering machine is set to
answer calls before the printer. See
Specifying rings to answer, page 40 .
Connecting the phone and fax
Identify the type of fax connection appropriate for you from the information below,
and follow the instructions to configure your printer for sending and receiving faxes.
Connecting the printer to a digital telephone service line
If the telephone line you intend to use for faxing through the All-in-One printer is
configured to either an Internet phone service or to a cable phone service, connect
your printer to the phone as described below:
1. Disconnect the phone cord from the wall jack that connects your modem to the
telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled LINE-In on your printer.
2. If you use an answering machine:
• Connect your answering machine to the EXT-Out port on the back of your
All-in-One printer.
CAUTION:
The answering machine should be set to a fewer number of rings than the
Rings to Answer setting. This will ensure that the answering machine picks up
first.
