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.

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

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
