Setting the F/T Ring Time (For FAX/TEL Mode Only) If you set the receive mode to FAX/TEL, you'll need to determine how long the fax machine will send you 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 extension phone (in a separate wall jack) on the same line as the fax machine. (See Operation from Extension Telephone, page 6-5.) 1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 2. 2.F/T RING TIME 2 Press or to select how long the fax machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice call, and then press Menu/Set. 3 Press Stop/Exit. RING TIME:20 SEC Now, when a call comes in and the fax 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 answer and detect if it's a fax or voice call. If it's a fax call, the fax machine prints the fax. If it's a voice call, the fax 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 machine continues for the set time. Easy Receive When you use this feature, you don't have to press Black Fax Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the LCD or when you hear "chirps" through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset. Your fax 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 fax 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 Black Fax Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your fax machine. (See Operation from Extension Telephones, page 6-5 and For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 6-5.) Note 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 5 1. At the fax machine, lift the handset and then press Black Fax Start. Note If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and the fax machine intercepts them, set Easy Receive to OFF.
