The ring delay sets the number of times the
machine rings before it answers in Fax Only
and Fax/Tel modes.
If you have extension phones on the same
line as the machine or subscribe to the
telephone company’s Distinctive Ring
service, keep the Ring Delay setting of 4.
(See Operation from extension telephones on

F/T Ring Time
6
When somebody calls your machine, you and
your caller will hear the normal telephone ring
sound. The number of rings is set by the ring
delay setting.
If the call is a fax, then your machine will
receive it; however, if it is a voice call the
machine will sound the F/T ring (a fast
double-ring) for the time you have set in the
F/T ring time setting. If you hear the F/T ring
it means that you have a voice caller on the
line.
Because the F/T ring is made by the machine,
extension and external telephones will not
ring; however, you can still answer the call on
any telephone. For more information see
Using remote codes on page 53.

Easy Receive

Turning easy receive On allows the machine
to receive fax calls automatically if you lift any
handset on the same line as the machine.
When you see Receiving on the LCD or
when you hear ‘chirps’ through the handset of
an extension phone connected to another
telephone wall jack, just replace the handset
and your machine will receive the fax.
