Setting The F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel Mode Only); Fax Detect - Brother MFC-7420 User Manual

Setting the F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only)
If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel ,
you'll 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 on the same
line as the machine. (See For Fax/Tel mode
only on page A-8.)
