Setting FAX/TEL (F/T) Ring Time
You must determine how long the MFC 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 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 
phone number as the MFC.

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.
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

OR—by pressing
