Receiving Faxes

Setting the ring count in the FAX ONLY mode

This setting determines the number of rings before the unit answers a call in the FAX ONLY mode. You can choose from 1 to 4 rings.

Helpful hints:

●To answer a call before the unit does, increase the number of rings.

●If you have difficulty receiving faxes, the other parties may have tried to send faxes before confirming if your unit answered or not. Decrease the number of rings.

Note:

●If you subscribe to a Caller ID service, set this ring count setting to 2 or more rings.

If you have a telephone line just for receiving faxes, we recommend the following setup.

Line 1 – Voice calls

Line 2 – Fax calls

Only a fax machine is connected.

Example: A telephone line is used for voice calls and a separate telephone line for faxes. Therefore, two telephone lines are used. When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine will ring twice (see above).
