Ring Delay 6
The Ring Delay sets the number of times the
machine rings before it answers in Fax Only
or Fax/Tel mode. If you have external or
extension telephones on the same line as the
machine or subscribe to the telephone
company’s Distinctive Ring service, keep the
ring delay setting of 4.
(See Using external and extension
telephones on page 58 and Easy Receive
on page 45.)
If toll saver is On, then the ring delay setting
has no effect. See Setting toll saver
on page 71.

F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only) 6
If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel, you
need to decide how long the machine will
signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring
when you have a voice call. If it's a fax call,
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
telephones on the same line will ring with the
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 telephones
on page 58.)
