Set the number of rings-to-answer
When the answer mode is set to Automatic, the product rings-to-answer setting determines the number of
times the telephone rings before the product answers an incoming call.
If the product is connected to a telephone line that receives both fax and voice calls (a shared line) and that
also uses an answering machine, you might need to adjust the rings-to-answer setting. The number of rings-
to-answer for the product must be greater than the rings-to-answer on the answering machine. This allows
the answering machine to answer the incoming call and record a message if it is a voice call. When the
answering machine answers the call, the product listens to the call and automatically answers it if it detects
fax tones.
The default setting for rings-to-answer is ve for all countries/regions.
Use the following table to determine the number of rings-to-answer to use.
Type of telephone line Recommended rings-to-answer setting
Dedicated fax line (receiving only fax calls) Set to a number of rings within the range shown in the control
panel display. (The minimum and maximum number of rings
allowed varies by country/region.)

voicemail for the other telephone number, make sure that the
product is set to a greater number of rings than the answering
system. Also, use the distinctive-ring feature to dierentiate
between voice and fax calls.)
