Receiving a Fax
25
BASIC USE
Setting the F/T Ring Time (Only Applies to F/T Receiving Mode)
You need to determine how long the machine will give its special F/T pseudo-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 (extension or external) on the same line
rings during the special F/T pseudo-ring.
1
Press Menu/Set, 2, 2.
2
Press or to select how long the machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice
call, and press Menu/Set when the screen displays your selection.
3
Press Stop/Exit.
Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in F/T mode, because some fax
machines do not send the standard Group 3 calling tone (“CNG”)
, but this is not common.
Recording the Fax/Tel Outgoing Announcement (FAX/TEL OGM)
(Only for FAX-737MC)
This is the announcement played by your machine (not an external TAD) when someone calls and
your machine is set to F/T mode. Although callers hear your announcement, they cannot leave a
message. See Erasing the Outgoing Message (OGM), page 67 for directions to erase the
announcement. The purpose of this F/T message is for the callers to better understand the status of
their call, when your machine is set in F/T receiving mode. If you want to use Message Centre, you
MUST record the Message Centre OGM.
1
Press Menu/Set, 8, 3. The screen prompts you to choose FAX/TEL OGM, MSG CTR OGM
or PAGING OGM.
2
Press or to select FAX/TEL OGM, and press Menu/Set.
3
Press or to select RECORD MSG and press Menu/Set, then pick up the handset to
record a message.
4
Replace the handset. Your announcement is played.
5
Press Stop/Exit.
Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine continues
the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.
This machine does not generate F/T ringing tones to any extension
telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring during the period
set on ring delay.
