Receiving Faxes and Phone Calls Automatically:
FaxTel Mode
Set this mode if you want your machine to automatically switch between voice and fax calls.
You can control precisely how your machine handles incoming calls by adjusting the settings below.
Setting the Options for FaxTel Mode
■ RING START TIME
When a call comes in, the machine checks to see if it is a person wishing to speak to you or a fax machine trying to
send a document. If your machine does not have enough time to detect the fax tone, it assumes the call is from a
telephone. Use the <RING START TIME> setting to increase the time the machine takes to check whether a call is
from a fax machine or a telephone. You can select a time between 0 and 30 seconds; the default is 8 seconds.
■ F/T RING TIME
When your machine is set to receive both fax and telephone calls automatically, the telephone rings to alert you to
pick up the handset if the call is from a person. If you do not pick up the handset within a certain amount of time, the
telephone stops ringing. Use this option to change the number of times the machine rings, from 10 to 60 seconds.
The default is 22 seconds.
■ F/T SWITCH ACTION
Not all fax machines are capable of sending a fax tone (the CNG tone that warns the receiving fax machine that a
fax is coming). For those cases the machine may think that the call coming in is a voice call and rings to alert you of
the call (the amount of time it is going to ring is determined by the <F/T RING TIME> setting above). If you do not
answer the call, one of two things can happen:
1. If you set the <F/T SWITCH ACTION> to ‘RECEIVE’, the machine will switch to fax receive mode automatically at
that point and start to receive the document. If no document comes in, it disconnects the call after approx. 40
seconds. The factory default setting is ‘RECEIVE’.
2. If you set the <F/T SWITCH ACTION> to ‘DISCONNECT’, the machine will disconnect the phone call
immediately freeing up your phone line at this point.
