Epson NX300 Mode D'Emploi

Connecting a Phone or Answering Machine

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.
