Setting the F/T (Fax/Tel) Ring Time (For Fax/Tel Mode Only)

You need to determine how long the MFC will give its special F/T pseudo-ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the MFC rings, for 20, 30, 40, or 70 seconds; no other phones on the same line ring the special F/T pseudo ring. However, you can answer the call on any extension phone on a separate wall socket on the same line as the MFC.

1Press Menu, 1, 2, 2.

2Press or to select how long the MFC will ring to alert you that you have a voice call.

3Press Set when the screen displays your selection.

RING TIME:30 SEC

4Press Stop to exit.

Now, when a call comes in and the 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 MFC pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax call, the MFC prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the MFC signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.

Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the MFC continues the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.

Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in Fax/Tel mode, because some fax machines do not send the standard Group 3 calling tone (“CNG”).
