Setting the Number of Rings to Answer

If you connect an external answering machine and select to receive faxes automatically, make sure the Rings to Answer setting is correct. The number of rings should be higher than the number of rings your answering machine is set to for answering a call.
  1. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  2. Select Settings > Fax Settings > Basic Settings > Rings to Answer.


  3. Enter the number of rings and press the OK button. Make sure to select a number higher than the number of rings your answering machine is set to for answering a call.
Note: An answering machine picks up every call faster than the product, but the product can detect fax tones and start receiving faxes. If you answer the phone and hear a fax tone, check that the product has started receiving the fax, then hang up the phone.
