TEL/FAX
When the reception mode is set to TEL/FAX, your fax automatically answers
all calls on 2 rings. After answering, your fax monitors the line for about 5
seconds to see if a fax tone is being sent.
♦
If your fax detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically
dialled fax), it will automatically begin reception of the incoming
document.
♦
If your fax doesn’t detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice
call or manually dialled fax), it will make a ringing sound (called pseudo
ringing) for 15 seconds to alert you to answer. If you don’t answer
within this time, your fax will send a fax tone to the other machine to
allow the calling party to send a fax manually if they desire.
Comments:
••
Only the fax will alert you to voice calls or manually dialled faxes by pseudo
ringing. An extension phone connected to the same line will not ring after the
connection has been made.
••
The duration of pseudo ringing can be adjusted with Option Setting 8. See
Chapter 8, Option Settings.
••
You can change the number of rings on which the machine answers calls by
changing Option Setting 2. (See Chapter 8, Option Settings.)
