3. Fax
How phone calls and faxes are received
1. "INCOMING CALL" will be displayed but the
unit will not ring.
2. The unit will wait for the duration of 2 rings
before answering the call.
L The number of rings is determined by the
"TEL/FAX delayed ring setting" (feature
#212 on page 60).
L During this time, an extension telephone
will ring.
3. The unit will answer the call and try to detect
a fax calling tone.
When a fax calling tone is detected
The unit receives the fax automatically
without ringing.
When a fax calling tone is not detected
A The unit will ring 3 times. You may answer
the call.
L The number of rings is determined by the
"Silent fax recognition ring setting"
(feature #436 on page 62).
L Callers will hear a ring back tone different
from the one generated by the telephone
company.
L An extension telephone (if connected to
the same line) will not ring at this time. To
answer the call with the extension
telephone, lift the handset and press
{*}{0} (default auto disconnection code)
while the fax machine is ringing.
B If you do not answer the call, the unit will
activate the fax function.
L Some fax machines do not generate fax
calling tones when sending faxes,
therefore the unit will try to receive a fax
even if no fax calling tone is detected.
Note:
L The auto disconnection code can be
changed in feature #435 on page 62.
L Even when you answer a call with the
extension telephone and press the auto
disconnection code, the fax machine may
activate the fax function depending on the
type of an extension telephone. Press
{STOP} on the fax machine to talk with the
calling party.
