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 double-ringing (F/T Ring Time) happens after the initial ringing from the telephone company (Ring Delay). Only the fax machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds; no other phones on that number will ring the special double-ring. However, you can answer the call on any extension phone on the same phone number as the fax machine.

1Press Function , 2 , 2 .

2Press RING TIME:20 SEC or Easy Receive to select how long the fax machine will ring to

alert you that you have a voice call and press Set .

RING TIME:20 SEC

3Press Stop to 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 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 fax screen 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 Start or by pressing

 

5 1 if you are not at your

 

machine.
