how do i change the fax to pick up in more rings?

The incoming ring count can be set by editing the Fax Service Mode accordingly:
1. Enter the general Service Mode, then Fax Service Mode, as required.
2. Select NCU (or #4B NCU).
3. Select ‘8. Auto RX’.
4. Highlight or choose ‘007’. The default setting will be 02.
5. Change the value as required.

Note: Setting the ring count to 4 or more rings may cause the transmitting device to time-out, if the connection time exceeds 30 - 35 seconds (T1 timer).




Expand the Receive RX functions to display and adjust the RX Mode, Incoming ring, Remote RX & Manual/Auto Switch and Auto/Manual RX.
By default, these expanded RX functions are not enabled. These functions are not high priority items, but are useful in certain environments. The most familiar or most used item would be the Incoming Ring function. Here, you can control the number of rings it takes before the fax will answer. The other items such as RX Mode, Incoming Ring, Remote RX & Manual / Auto Switch are mainly used in an enviroment in which the phone line is shared.

There are two ways to expand the RX functions depending on the imageRUNNER model:

* If the imageRUNNER has a FAX based Service Mode: Enter Service mode>Special>Special SW><SW27 bit 7 to 1>

* On Standard imageRUNNER Service modes: Enter Service mode>FAX>NCU>SpecialB><SW27 bit 7 to 1>

Once SW 27 bit 7 is set to 1, power cycle the imageRUNNER, select Additional Functions > Communication Setting > Fax Settings > RX Settings. All expanded RX functions will now be displayed.

Note: The Auto/Manual RX setting is not listed under Additional Functions > Communication Setting > Fax Settings > RX Settings. These buttons are found under System Monitor > Fax > Received Job Status. Addtionally, the Auto/Manual setting will not be available on the "two line" control panel displays (imageRUNNER 2016 / 2018 / 2020 / 2022). To change these models for "Manual RX", change the ring wait time. NCU > Auto RX > 006 = 2500 will change the incoming ring count to about 5.
