Setting FAX/TEL (F/T) Ring Time

You must determine how long the 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 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 MFC.

ring to alert you that you have a voice call,
and then press Set.

3Press 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 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 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 MFC does the rest. Selecting ON allows the MFC to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the MFC receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the MFC. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the MFC yourself by pressing Start—OR—by pressing 5 1 if you are not at the MFC.

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

2Press or to select ON, SEMI or OFF, and then press Set.

If you’ve set the feature to ON, but your 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 MFC, lift the handset, and then press Start. (See

For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-6.)
