Reserve Phone
If you connect a reserve telephone on the same line to which your facsimile unit is connected,
you can make and answer voice calls by using the reserve telephone. You can also initiate fax
reception.
Remember the following notice when using the reserve telephone.
When a call comes in, the reserve telephone will ring according to the setting of the receiving
mode of your facsimile unit as follows:
■ When receiving a call in the ANS/FAX mode:
Both the reserve telephone and your facsimile unit ring depending on the setting of the
number of rings in the
ANS/FAX mode before your facsimile unit automatically switches to
the answering device.
- You can change the ring count. See page 163.
- If you set to “RINGER OFF” in its ring count selection, your facsimile unit will not ring.
But the reserve phone will ring once.
■ When receiving a call in the TEL/FAX mode:
Before your facsimile unit rings, the reserve telephone rings depending on the setting of
the number of rings of the reserve telephone.
- You can change the ring count of the reserve telephone. See page 182.
- If someone does not answer the call with the reserve telephone, your facsimile unit will
ring depending on the setting of the silent fax recognition ring (see page 170). In this
case, your facsimile unit will play the greeting message and emit the distinctive tone to
the caller.
- An automatic fax transmission call will be received without ringing after the reserve
phone rings.
■ When receiving a call in the FAX mode:
Both the reserve telephone and your facsimile unit ring depending on the setting of the
number of rings in the FAX mode before your facsimile unit automatically switches to fax.
- You can change the ring count. See page 162.
■ When receiving a call in the TEL mode:
Both the reserve telephone and your facsimile unit continue ringing until someone
answers the call. If someone does not answer the call before the unit rings 15 times, your
facsimile unit will automatically switch to the ANS/FAX mode.
If a power failure occurs, your facsimile unit will not function. We recommend using the reserve
telephone as a standard telephone.
NOTE:
- When a reserve telephone is connected to the same line, do not use the reserve telephone
during fax transmission and reception. Otherwise image quality will be affected.
