SETUP RECEIVE

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/MFC 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/MFC 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/MFC. (See
Operation from Extension Telephone, page 5-5.)
1
Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 2.
2
Press to select how long the FAX/MFC 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/MFC 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/MFC answer and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a
fax call, the FAX/MFC prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the FAX/MFC 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 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/MFC does the rest. Selecting ON allows the FAX/MFC to
receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or
external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the FAX/MFC receive the call only if
you’ve answered it at the FAX/MFC. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to
activate the FAX/MFC yourself, by pressing Fax Start or by pressing 5 1 if
you are not at your FAX/MFC.
(See
Operation from Extension Telephones, page 5-5 and For FAX/TEL Mode Only,
page 5-5.)
If you’ve set the feature to
ON
, but your FAX/MFC doesn’t automatically
connect a fax call when you lift an external or extension phone handset, press the
Fax Receive code

1
. At the FAX/MFC, lift the handset and then press

Even if the caller hangs up during the double-ringing, the FAX/MFC continues
for the set time.
