Changing rings-to-answer
When the answer mode is set to automatic, the product’s rings-to-answer setting determines the
number of times the phone rings before an incoming call is answered.
If the product is connected to a line receiving both fax and voice calls (a shared line) with an
answering machine, you may need to adjust the rings-to-answer. 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.
Refer to the fax guide that came with your product to determine the default and recommended
rings-to-answer settings for your country or region.
To set the number of rings-to-answer
To set or change the number of rings-to-answer, use the following steps:
1 On the control panel, press menu/enter.
2 Use the < and > buttons to select Fax Setup and press menu/enter.
3 Use the < and > buttons to select Fax Recv. Setup and press menu/enter.
4 Use the < and > buttons to select Rings To Answer and press menu/enter.
5 Use the alphanumeric keypad to enter the number of rings-to-answer and press menu/enter.
Note If you have an answering machine or computer voicemail connected to this line for the other phone
number (on the single ring pattern), make sure the product’s rings-to-answer is set to a lower number
than the rings-to-answer on the answering machine or voicemail. If it is not, the product will be unable
to receive fax calls.
