Setting F/T Ring Time

You need to determine how long the fax machine will notify you with its special double-ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the fax machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds; no other phones on the same line ring the special double-ring. However, you can answer the call on any phone on the same line as the fax machine.

ring to alert you that you have a voice call, and then press Menu/Set.

3 Press Stop/Exit.

Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to FAX/TEL mode, all phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.

You can let the fax machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine signals you with a double-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.

Even if the caller hangs up during the double-ringing, the fax machine continues for the set time.

Easy Receive

When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Fax Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. 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 your machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the fax machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the fax machine. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the fax machine yourself, by pressing Fax Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your machine. (See Operation from External or Extension Telephone and For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5.)

If you’ve set the feature to ON, but your fax machine doesn’t automatically connect a fax call when you lift an external or extension phone handset, press the Fax Receive code 5 1. At the fax machine lift the handset, and then press Fax Start.
