Setting F/T Ring Time; Easy Receive - Brother FAX 2600 Operation Manual

Setting F/T Ring Time

You must determine how long the FAX/MFC will notify you with its special
double ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial
ringing from the phone company. Only the FAX/MFC rings, for 20, 30, 40 or
70 seconds; no other phones on the same line ring the special double ring.
However, you can answer the call on any extension phone (in a separate wall
jack) on the same phone number as the FAX/MFC.

Now, when a call comes in and the FAX/MFC is set to FAX/TEL mode, all
phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.
You can let the FAX/MFC pick up and detect if it's a fax or voice call. If it's a
fax call, the FAX/MFC prints the fax. If it's a voice call, the FAX/MFC signals
you with a double ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.
Even if the caller hangs up during the double ringing, the FAX/MFC continues
for the set time.

Easy Receive

When you use this feature, you don't have to press Start when you answer a fax
call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When
you see RECEIVE on the fax screen or when you hear "chirps" through the
handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the
handset, and your FAX/MFC does the rest. Selecting ON allows the FAX/MFC
to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or
external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the FAX/MFC receive the call only if
you've answered it at the FAX/MFC. Selecting OFF means you'll have to
activate the FAX/MFC yourself by pressing Start—OR—by pressing
you are not at the FAX/MFC.
