how do I turn off the automated voice mail on line two so the fax can pick up?

I believe that you can set your FAX phone to answer on the first ring. The fax will get the call before the voice mail - - - or set thevoice mail to pick up after 4 or 5 rings

Richard: it is a very simple on off switch. I hooked it up to my home office phone and the copy/fax machine. When off it does not interfere with my calls and when on, I can send or received a fax. If you connect it to the main phone line, what ever line you connect to it, can be turned on or off. Hope that helps. Larry

I just got off the phone with Canon Tech Support and below is what he had me do: 1. Go to the maintenance settings for the fax2. Go into the RX settings3. Go into fax Priority mode4. Set the ring start time5. Set the telephone ring time6. Set DEFAULT ACTION to disconnect.This so far is working for me. He said that the fax will only pick up if it detects a tone from another fax machine. I have not verified this ir not, but the machine is no longer picking up my inbound calls. I rarely fax, but having the capability to do so is a big plus when needed. I hope this helps those out there that have experienced the issue with the fax picking up the voice calls.

Yes, I have my phone line unplugged a majority of the time. I only have the phone line connected when I need the fax.

I also have a two line phone. Your working line is where you install the On/Off switch before the line enters the phone. I'm very pleased with the on off switch. It has stopped those annoying calls late at night.

The talking ID can be shut off by using the menu. I haven't shut mine off because there are times I can't get to the phone right away and it comes in handy.

I have tried answering a call or pushing the "accept" button and you cannot interrupt the message cycle. However, if the caller presses "O" the box rings with a discernible tone and you can pick up the call and you can accept it and add it to the white list at that time. If you know you will be getting a call you can turn the blocker off temporarily.

I believe you can disable the voice mail and use your phone company's voice mail. You have to make sure that the SYN248 no answer timers are longer than the phone company's voice mail timers.

I was not able to shut off the fax ring via the machine. I made my own phone switch to disconnect the phonline when FAX is not needed.

Yes, you can shut it off. It will still show the missed calls and also, with our phone company system, shows how many messages you have on their system for each line.
