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 Series (or
to another wall jack on the same line, if there’s one available).
If your answering machine is set to pick up on the fourth ring, you should set the
NX300 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 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
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 Series will
not receive the fax.
