How the
function operates
When a call comes in, your fax 'willanswer it afier the number of rings set with
Option Setting 2.
If your fax detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically dialled
fax), it will automatically begin reception of the incoming document.
If your fax doesn't detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice call or
manually dialled fax), it will make a special ringing sound (ca(led pseudo ringing)
for 15 seconds to alert you to answer. If you don't answer within this time, your
fax will send a fax tone to the other machine to allow the calling party to send a
fax manually if they desire.
Note: The duration of pseudo ringing can be adjusted with Option Setting 9. See
Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".
