You must set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time. If
you have extension phones on the line, set the Ring
Delay to 4 rings.
(Message Center) The fax machine automatically
answers every call. The messages are stored into
memory on a "first come, first served" basis.

(Telephone Answering Device) The answering machine
controls the phone line and answers every call. As soon
as the TAD answers, the fax machine listens for fax
tones; if it hears them it will take over the call and
receive the fax message. The TAD _must be a physical
device that is plugged into the EXTjack of the fax
machine. Your fax machine will not work with an
outside telephone answering service. TAD mode
can be set so you can leave it turned on when you are at
the fax machine and still have time to answer your calls
before the TAD picks up; you do not have to change
modes when you come and go.
7-14
The Ring Delay and Ffr Ring Time do not apply!
The number of rings is set on the answering
machine, which overrides the Ring Delay setting
on the fax machine.
