Hello, my Fax-t74 has stopped ringing when I get an incoming call. I can still answer the call if I answer when I hear the click I normally hear before it rings.

Several settings could cause your Brother Fax T74 to stop ringing for incoming calls:
1. Ring Delay Setting: If the ring delay is set too high, the machine will wait for more rings before answering, which might seem like it's not ringing. Check and adjust the ring delay: Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, then select RING DELAY and set the desired number of rings.
2. F/T Ring Time Setting: If the F/T pseudo-ring time is too short, you may not notice the ringing. To adjust: Press Menu/Set, 2, 2, then select a longer ring time (20, 30, 40, or 70 seconds).
3. Fax Detect Setting: If Fax Detect is set to OFF, the machine will not automatically receive faxes unless you press Start or use the activation code (5 1). Set Fax Detect to ON to allow automatic receiving.
4. Line or Phone Connection Issue: A poor phone line connection can prevent the machine from detecting incoming calls or ringing properly.
Check these settings and conditions to restore proper ringing behavior.
