Receiving faxes using FaxTel Mode

Set this mode if you want your machine to automatically switch between voice and fax calls.

You can control precisely how your machine handles incoming calls by adjusting the settings below.

Options for FaxTel Mode


RING START TIME
When a call comes in, the machine checks to see if it is a person wishing to speak to you or a fax machine trying to send a document. If your machine does not have enough time to detect the fax tone, it assumes the call is from a telephone. Use the [RING START TIME] setting to increase the time the machine takes to check whether a call from a fax machine or a telephone. You can select a time between 0 and 30 seconds; the default is 6 seconds.
F/T RING TIME
When your machine is set to receive fax and telephone calls automatically, the telephone rings to alert you to pick up the handset if the call is from a person. If you do not pick up the handset within a certain amount of time, the telephone stops ringing. Use this option to change the number of times the machine rings, from 15 to 300 seconds. The default is 15 seconds.
F/T SWITCH ACTION
Not all fax machines are capable of sending a fax tone (the CNG tone that warns the receiving fax machine that a fax is coming). For those cases the machine may think the call coming in is a voice call and rings to alert you of the call (the amount of time it is going to ring is determined by the [F/T RING TIME] setting above). If you do not answer the call, one of two things can happen:
  1. If you set the [F/T SWITCH ACTION] to 'RECEIVE', the machine will switch to fax receive mode automatically at that point and start to receive the document. If no document comes in, it disconnects the call after approx. 40 seconds. The factory default setting is 'Receive'.
  2. If you set the [F/T SWITCH ACTION] to "DISCONNECT', the machine will disconnect the phone call immediately freeing up your phone line at this point.
