Setting F/T Ring Time
You need to determine how long the fax machine will notify you with its special
double ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing
from the phone company. Only the fax machine 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 phone on the same line as the fax machine.
1
Press Function/Set, 2, 2.
2
Press or to select how long the fax machine
will ring to alert you that you have a voice call and
press Function/Set.
3
Press Stop to exit.
Now, when a call comes in and the machine 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 machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax
call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine 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 Start when you answer a fax call
and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When you see
RECEIVE on the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an
extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your
machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the fax machine to receive fax calls
automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting
SEMI lets the machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the fax machine.
Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the fax machine yourself, by pressing
Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your machine.
(See
Operation from
External or Extension Telephone
and
For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5
.)
If you’ve set the feature to ON, but your fax machine doesn’t automatically connect a
fax call when you lift an external or extension phone handset, press the Fax Receive
code 5 1. At the fax machine, lift the handset and press Start.

Even if the caller hangs up during the double ringing, the fax machine continues for
the set time.
