Setting the Ring Delay

The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the machine rings before it answers.

1Press Menu, 2, 1. If you have a FAX-920 or MFC-925, go to Step 4.

2Press Z or X to select RING DELAY.

3Press Set.

4Press Z or X to select how many times the line rings before the machine answers.

5Press Set when the screen displays your selection.

6Press Stop to exit.

Setting the F/T Ring Time

You need to determine how long the machine 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 machine rings, for 20, 30, 40, or 70 seconds; no other phones on the same line ring the special F/T pseudo-ring.

1Press Menu, 2, 2.

2Press Z or X to select how long the machine 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 machine is set to F/T Mode, all phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.

You can let the 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 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 machine continues the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.

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