Question by Leet Hax: Is the Panasonic Cordless phone model KX-TGA401 Fax compatible?
Can you set a delay on the answering machine picking up? I want to be able to have faxes come through even if I am not home.

you have to set the fax up into FAX/TEL mode…
then you connect a line cord from the phone jack to the “line” port on the back of the fax machine, and then connect a line cord from the phone port on the back of the fax machine to the telephone…
the fax will answer ALL calls and determine if it is a fax or voice call, if it is a fax it will accept and print out the fax, it it is a voice call, it will ring the phone(s) that are connected to the phone port on the fax machine, this way you can use the answering machine built into your phone… (other phones/jacks in your home will not ring, but can still answer the phone)

Maybe. An answering machine can be connected behind a fax machine and it usually has instructions in the fax manual. The idea is you set the fax machine to answer on 4 rings, the answering machine to answer on 2 rings, and record a message of 20 seconds or less on the answering message, telling the user to press SEND if they have manually dialed the fax number.
The AM grabs the line and the fax listens for the CNG or send tone. If no tone, the answering machine records a message.
