Setting the F/T Ring Time (For FAX/TEL Mode Only)
If you set the receive mode to FAX/TEL, you’ll need to determine how long the
fax machine will send you its special double-ring when you have a voice call.
This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the
fax machine 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 line as the fax machine.
(See Operation from Extension Telephone, page 6-5.)
1
Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 2.
2
Press to select how long the fax machine will ring to alert you that you have
a voice call, and then press Menu/Set.
3
Press Stop/Exit.
Now, when a call comes in and the fax machine 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 fax machine answer and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a
fax call, the fax machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the fax machine
signals you with a double-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring
Time.
Easy Receive
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Black Fax Start when you
answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few
seconds. When you see
RECEIVING on the LCD or when you hear “chirps”
through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just
replace the handset. Your fax machine does the rest. Selecting
ON allows the
fax machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an
extension or external phone. Selecting
SEMI lets the fax machine receive the
call only if you’ve answered it at the fax machine. Selecting OFF means you’ll
have to activate the fax machine yourself, by pressing Black Fax Start or by
pressing
5 1 if you are not at your fax machine.
(See Operation from Extension Telephones , page 6-5 and For FAX/TEL Mode Only ,
page 6-5.)
Even if the caller hangs up during the double-ringing, the fax machine
continues for the set time.
Note
If you’ve set the feature to ON , but your fax machine 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 fax machine, lift the handset and then press
Black Fax Start.
Note
If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and the fax machine
intercepts them, set Easy Receive to OFF.
