Brother FAX 2600, MFC 4600 manual Setting F/T Ring Time, Easy Receive, Ring TIME20 SEC

Setting F/T Ring Time

You must determine how long the FAX/MFC 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/MFC 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 extension phone (in a separate wall jack) on the same phone number as the FAX/MFC.

1For the FAX, press Function, 2, 2. For the MFC, press Function, 1, 2, 2.

2 Press or to select how long the FAX/MFC	RING TIME:20 SEC
will ring to alert you that you have a voice call
and press Set.

3Press Stop to exit.

Now, when a call comes in and the FAX/MFC 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/MFC pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax call, the FAX/MFC prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the FAX/MFC 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/MFC 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 FAX/MFC does the rest. Selecting ON allows the FAX/MFC to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the FAX/MFC receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the FAX/MFC. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to

activate the FAX/MFC yourself by pressing Start— OR—by pressing 5 1 if you are not at the FAX/MFC.

(See Operation from Extension Telephone or External Telephone, page 5-6.)

If you’ve set the feature to ON, but your FAX/MFC 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/MFC, lift the handset and press Start. (See For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-6.)
