If you have an answering machine connected to the same line as your fax:

To make sure the printer picks up incoming faxes, set Auto Answer to On, and then set the printer to pick up after a greater number of rings than the answering machine. For example, if the answering machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.

If you have a voicemail feature associated to the same line as your fax:

Voice mail and fax can share the same telephone line if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service offered by your telephone company. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (single ring, double ring, triple ring, or double and triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know which telephone number was dialed, and which device you should use to answer the call.

If you do not have distinctive ring service, then set the printer to receive faxes manually (Auto Answer Off). This setting lets you receive both voice calls and fax calls, but works best if you use voice mail more often. You need to turn off voice mail whenever you are expecting a fax.

I hope this helps.

Should you need further assistance, please contact Lexmark Technical Support Center.

Problem solve. Thank you for your help.

The caller id information is sent from your local telco provider after the first ring and might not be able to be extended to the individual sets, try backing off the ring to answer on your voice mail from 2 to 3 rings to see if the information is then passed on. The Voice Messaging System message is being sent from the system showing who transfered the call to you. You should also notice that the ring pattern when that message is displayed is a standard ring followed by a beep meaning a transfer is taking place.

If you want to receive only faxes automatically with your machine, or you have a dedicated telephone line for fax use only:

• Select [FAX ONLY MODE].
  
  When you receive a fax call: The machine will receive the fax automatically.
  When you receive a voice call: You will not be able to answer the call.

If you receive mainly voice calls and sometimes faxes, or you want to receive faxes manually:

  For remote receiving: If you are far from your machine, dial 25 (the remote receiving ID) on your telephone to receive faxes. (Telephone being used, such as a base station for a cordless phone, must be connected through the MP780 for the remote receiving function to work.)

If you want to receive voice messages on your answering machine and receive faxes automatically:

• Select [ANS.MACHINE MODE].
  
  When you receive a fax call: First the answering machine connected to your MP780 will respond to an incoming call, and then the MP780 will receive faxes automatically.
  When you receive a voice call: The answering machine connected to your MP780 will respond to an incoming call.

If you want to receive faxes automatically as well as voice calls:

• Select [FAX/TEL AUTO SW].
  
  When you receive a fax call: The machine will receive the fax automatically.
  When you receive a voice call: The machine will ring. Pick up the handset to answer the call.

If you have subscribed to a Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Service with your telephone company (US only):

  When you receive a fax call: The machine will ring according to the ring pattern you have chosen and receive the fax automatically.
  When you receive a voice call: The machine will ring according to the ring pattern you have chosen. Pick up the handset to answer the call.

Dont' forget to vote if this helps .... Cheers :)

You do not have to cancel the phone company voice mail service. You need to change the number of rings the phone uses to answer the voice mail.

For example, if the telephone company voice mail answers if 4 rings, set the telephone answering machine to answer in 3 rings or less.

Good luck.
