Setting the Options for Fax/Tel Mode
If you set Fax/Tel Mode, you can control precisely how the machine handles incoming
calls by adjusting the following settings:
–
RING START TIME setting: Adjust the time the machine takes to check whether a call
is from a fax machine or from a telephone (default: 8 seconds).
– F/T RING TIME setting: Adjust the length of time the machine rings when the call is
from a telephone (default: 15 seconds).
– DEFAULT ACTION setting: Set whether the machine switches to receive mode or
disconnects the call after the ring time set in F/T RING TIME has elapsed (default:
switches to receive mode).
