Ring Delay

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, choose the
maximum number of rings. (See Easy
Receive on page 58.)

If you choose 00, the machine will answer
immediately and the line will not ring at all.
F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only)
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 (MFC-1910W)
telephones will not ring.

Easy Receive

If Easy Receive is On:
The machine can receive a fax automatically,
even if you answer the call. When you see
Receiving on the LCD or hear a click on the
phone line through the handset you are
using, just replace the handset. Your
machine will do the rest.
(MFC-1905)
If Easy Receive is Semi:
The machine will only receive a fax call
automatically if you answered it using the
machine's handset.
If Easy Receive is Off:
5
If you are at the machine and answer a fax
call first by lifting the external handset
(MFC-1910W) and the machine (MFC-1905),
press Start and then press 2 to receive a fax.
NOTE
• If you send faxes from a computer on the
same telephone line and the machine
intercepts them, set Easy Receive to
Off.
• We do not recommend having a PC and a
fax machine on the same line.
