Rings] setting under [Fax Features]. For [Number of Rings], see page 142 "Fax Features Settings".

manually, see page 128 "Receiving a fax in FAX/TEL Manual mode".
Receiving a fax in FAX/TAD mode
When the reception mode is set to FAX/TAD mode, the external telephone answering device answers
and records messages when the machine receives telephone calls. If the incoming call is a fax call, the
machine receives the fax automatically.

seconds (silence detection).
