K K Setting the options for Fax/Tel mode
If you set Fax/Tel mode, you can control precisely how the fax handles incoming calls by adjusting the
following settings:
• Adjust the time the fax takes to check whether a call is from a fax machine or a telephone (RING START
TIME setting).
• Adjust the length of time the fax rings when the call is a voice call (F/T RING TIME setting).
• Set whether the fax switches to receive mode after the ring time set in F/T RING TIME has elapsed
(DEFAULT ACTION setting).
The default settings and selectable settings vary depending on the current country selection.
