F/T Ring Time

the machine receives the fax.
This pseudo/double-ring happens after the
initial ringing from the telephone company.
Only the machine rings and no other

special pseudo/double-ring. However, you
can still answer the call on any telephone on
the same line as the machine. (See Using
external and extension
