F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel Mode Only); Fax Detect - Brother FAX-2480C User Manual

F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only)
If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel, you
need to decide how long the machine will
signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring
when you have a voice call. If it's a fax call,
the machine receives the fax.
This pseudo/double-ring happens after the
initial ringing from the phone company. Only
the machine rings and no other phones on the
same line will ring with the special
pseudo/double-ring. However, you can still
answer the call on any telephone.
a
Press Menu, 2, 1, 2.
b
Press a or b to choose how long the
machine will ring to alert you that you
have a voice call (20, 30, 40 or 70
seconds for Australia and some
countries, 20, 30, 40 or 55 for New
Zealand).
Press OK.
c
Press Stop/Exit.
Note
Even if the caller hangs up during the
pseudo/double-ringing, the machine will
continue to ring for the set time.

If Fax Detect is On: (default setting)
The machine receives fax calls automatically,
even if you lift the machine's handset, or lift
the handset of an extension or external
phone. When you see Receiving on the
LCD or when you hear 'chirps' through the
handset of an extension phone connected to
another wall socket/phone socket, just
replace the handset, and your machine will
do the rest.
If Fax Detect is Semi:
The machine will only receive the fax call if
you answered it using the machine's handset
or speaker phone.
If Fax Detect is Off:
When you hear a fax tone through the
handset on the machine, you have to press
Mono Start or Colour Start on the machine.
If you are not at your machine, press l 5 1
(l 9 1 for New Zealand) on the extension
phone. (See Operation from extension
telephones on page 46.)
Note
• If this feature is set to On, but your
machine does not connect a fax call when
you lift an extension or external phone
handset, press the fax receive code l51
(l 9 1 for New Zealand). At the machine,
press Mono Start or Colour Start.
• If you send faxes from a computer on the
same phone line and the machine
intercepts them, set Fax Detect to Off.
We do not recommend having a PC plus
fax on the same line.
