6 Check the remote access code of the answering machine and program the same code into the remote operation ID of the fax machine. See feature #12 on page 66.
Note:
- We recommend you keep the greeting message around to 10 seconds long. If the greeting message is too long, some incoming fax calls may not be answered by the fax machine.
- Every time the fax machine receives a document, a silent pause or fax tone may be recorded on the answering machine.
How the fax machine and answering machine work
Receiving voice calls
The answering machine will record voice messages automatically.
Receiving fax calls
The fax machine will receive documents automatically when the machine detects a calling tone.
Receiving a voice message and fax document in one call
The answering machine will record the voice message first. The fax machine will then be activated by the caller's request and will receive the document.
Receiving a voice message and fax document in one call
The caller can leave a voice message and send a fax document during the same call. Inform the caller of the following procedure beforehand.
- The caller calls your fax machine.

- The caller can leave a message after the greeting message.
- The caller presses 9 (pre-selected fax activation code).
- The fax machine will activate the fax function.
- The caller presses the start button to send a document.
Note:
- The fax activation code can be changed in feature #41 (p. 68).

To use with a computer
We recommend that you always connect the fax machine directly to the wall jack.

Note:
- Set the fax machine to the TEL mode.
The device which has the shortest ring count will answer a call first. - If you use your computer as an answering machine, connect the telephone line cord from the EXT jack to the computer (KX-FP181 only).
TEL/FAX mode
(receiving voice calls with rings and fax calls without rings when you are near the unit)
Use this mode when you are always near the fax machine, and want to receive faxes without ringing. When a call is received, the fax machine will work as follows. To set the TEL/FAX mode, see below.
