Setting 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 MFC 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 MFC 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 MFC. (See Operation from Extension Telephone, page 6-5.) 1 Press Function, 1, 2, 2. 2 Press or to select how long the MFC will ring to alert you that you have a voice call and press Set. 3 Press Stop to exit. RING TIME:20 SEC Now, when a call comes in and the MFC 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 MFC pick up and detect if it's a fax or voice call. If it's a fax call, the MFC prints the fax. If it's a voice call, the MFC 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 MFC continues for the set 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 MFC does the rest. Selecting ON allows the MFC to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the MFC receive the call only if you've answered it at the MFC. Selecting OFF means you'll have to activate the MFC yourself, by pressing Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your MFC. (See Operation from Extension Telephone, 6-5 and For FAX/TEL Mode only, 6-5) If you've set the feature to ON, but your MFC 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 MFC, lift the handset and press Start. 1 Press Function, 1, 2, 3. 2 Use or to select ON, SEMI or OFF and press Set. 3 Press Stop to exit. SETUP RECEIVE 6-3
