7.2 Recording your 
greeting message
You can record your own greeting message for 
TAM/FAX mode, for a maximum of 16 seconds 
(default) or 60 seconds in length. We 
recommend you record a message of less than 
12 seconds to make it easier to receive faxes. If 
a greeting message is not recorded, one of two 
pre-recorded greetings will be played when a call 
is received (page 61).
Suggested message: “This is (your name). We 
are unable to answer right now. To send a fax, 
start transmission. To leave a message for John, 
press 
{#}
