Setting Ring Delay; Setting F/T Ring Time - Brother IntelliFAX 1270E Owner's Manual

Setting Ring Delay

The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the fax machine rings before
it answers. If you have extension phones on the same line as the fax machine, keep
the Ring Delay default setting of 4. (See Easy Receive, page 5-4, Operation from
External or Extension Telephone, page 5-6 and For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-6.)

Setting F/T Ring Time

You need to determine how long the fax machine 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 machine 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 phone on the same line as the fax machine.

ring to alert you that you have a voice call, and then press Menu/Set.

Now, when a call comes in and the machine 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 machine pick up and detect if it's a fax or voice call. If it's a fax
call, the machine prints the fax. If it's a voice call, the machine 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 machine continues for
the set time.
