Receiving a fax 

The Ring Delay setting sets the number of 
times the machine rings before it answers in 
Fax Only and Fax/Tel modes.
If you have external or extension telephones 
on the same line as the machine, keep the 
Ring Delay setting of 4. (See Easy Receive 
uu

page 30 and Using external and 

extension telephones uu page 39.)

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 uu page 39.)
