You may choose to connect an answering system. However, when you have an 
external TAD on the same telephone line as the MFC, the TAD answers all 
calls. The MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the MFC 
takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the MFC 
lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave 
you a voice message.

The TAD must answer within five rings (the recommended setting is two rings). 
The MFC cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with 
five rings there are only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.”  
Make sure you carefully follow instructions in this manual for recording your 
outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your 
external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.

 

If you do not receive all your faxes, you must reset the setting on your external TAD 
to 4 rings.

You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack 

 if you subscribe 

to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service, have registered the 
distinctive ring pattern on your machine, use that number as a fax number and 
set your machine’s Receive mode to 

. The recommended setting is 

three or four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone 
company’s Distinctive Ring service.

You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your MFC. If your TAD is 
plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to control the 
phone line. (See illustration on page 2-10.)
