I
DEFAULT ACTION
Not all fax machines are capable of sending a fax tone (the CNG tone that warns the receiving
fax machine that a fax is coming). In those cases, the unit may think that the call coming in
is a voice call and rings to alert you of the call (the amount of time it is going to ring is
determined by the F/T RING TIME setting above). If you do not answer the call, one of two
things can happen:
1. If you set the DEFAULT ACTION setting to RECEIVE, the unit will switch to fax receive
mode automatically at that point and start to receive the document. If no document comes
in, it disconnects the call after approximately 55 seconds. The default setting is RECEIVE.
2. If you set the DEFAULT ACTION to DISCONNECT, the unit will disconnect the phone
call immediately freeing up your phone line at this point.
