Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The MFC’s Ring Delay setting does 
not apply).

Record the outgoing message (see below).

Set the TAD to answer calls.

Set the Receive Mode to TAD: ANSWER MACH. (Press 

.)

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to 
handle both manual and automatic fax reception.

Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your 
MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before 
they stop.)

Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people 
sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing   5 1 and Start.”

Your MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. 
However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering 
device) directly to your MFC.

Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. 
on the left side of the MFC. 

Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, 
and, if the MFC handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call on the 
external phone and switch to the MFC, press
