Setting 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
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
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 machine. (See Operation
from Extension Telephone, page 5-5.)
1
Press Menu, 2, 1, 2.
2
Press or to select how long the
machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice call, and then press Set.
3
Press Stop/Exit.
Now, when a call comes in and the
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 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
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 Fax Start when you answer a
fax call. Selecting
ON allows the MFC to receive fax calls automatically, even if
you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. When you see RECEIVING
on the LCD or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone,
just replace the handset and let your MFC do the rest. Selecting
OFF means you’ll
have to activate the MFC yourself, by lifting the handset of an external or extension
phone, and then pressing Fax Start on the MFC or by pressing 5 1 if you are
not at your MFC. (See Operation from Extension Telephone, page 5-5.)
Even if the caller hangs up during the double-ringing, the machine continues
for the set time.
If Easy Receive is OFF and an original is in the ADF, lift the handset of an
external or extension phone, press Fax Start and 2 to activate the MFC.
If you’ve set the feature to ON , but your MFC doesn’t automatically connect a
fax call when you lift a handset, press the Fax Receive code 5 1 on the
external or extension phone.
If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and the MFC
intercepts them, set Easy Receive to
OFF .
