Brother FAX-575 manual Setting the F/T Ring Time FAX/TEL mode only, Easy Receive

2.F/T RING TIME

Setting the F/T Ring Time (FAX/TEL mode only)

If you set the Receive Mode to FAX/TEL, you’ll need to decide how long the fax machine will signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring when you have a voice call. (If it’s a fax call, the fax machine prints the fax.) This pseudo double ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the fax machine rings and no other phones on the same line will ring with the special pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still answer the call on any extension phone (in a separate wall jack) on the same line as the fax machine. (See Operation from extension telephones on page 5-5.)

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 2.

2 Press ▲ or ▼ to select how

long the fax machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice call (20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds).

Press Menu/Set.

3 Press Stop/Exit.

Even if the caller hangs up during the pseudo/double-ringing, the fax machine will continue to ring for the set time.

Easy Receive

When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Fax Start or the Fax Receive Code 5 1 when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. Selecting ON allows the fax machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the machine’s handset or the handset of an extension or external phone. When you see RECEIVE on the LCD or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset and the fax machine will do the rest. SEMI lets the fax machine receive the fax only if you’ve answered it at the fax machine.
