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/MFC.

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