Ring Delay

The ring delay sets the number of times the 
machine rings before it answers in Fax Only 
and Fax/Tel modes.
If you have extension phones on the same 
line as the machine or subscribe to the 
telephone company’s Distinctive Ring 
service, keep the Ring Delay setting of 4. 
(See Operation from extension telephones on 
page 52 and Easy Receive on page 42.)

F/T Ring Time
6
When somebody calls your machine, you and 
your caller will hear the normal telephone ring 
sound. The number of rings is set by the ring 
delay setting. 
If the call is a fax, then your machine will 
receive it; however, if it is a voice call the 
machine will sound the F/T ring (a fast 
double-ring) for the time you have set in the 
F/T ring time setting. If you hear the F/T ring 
it means that you have a voice caller on the 
line.
Because the F/T ring is made by the machine, 
extension and external telephones will not 
ring; however, you can still answer the call on 
any telephone. For more information see 
Using remote codes on page 53.

Easy Receive

Turning easy receive On allows the machine
to receive fax calls automatically if you lift any 
handset on the same line as the machine.
When you see Receiving on the LCD or
when you hear ‘chirps’ through the handset of 
an extension phone connected to another 
telephone wall jack, just replace the handset 
and your machine will receive the fax.
