Setting F/T Ring Time

(For FAX/TEL Mode Only)

If you set the answer mode to FAX/TEL, you’ll need to determine how long the MFC will send you its special double ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from your telephone company (Ring Delay). Only the MFC rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds; no other phones on that number will 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.

1 Press Function , 1 , 2 , 2 .

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

RING TIME:20 SEC

3 Press 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.
