How to set ringtone when receiving fax Canon Fax L800

Plug in the RJ-11 cable at the phone jack and the MX340. Press the Fax button and then the Menu button to get the Fax Settings menu. Press the left/right arrows to highlight Fax Receive Mode. Then press OK. Select Telephone Priority Mode (you will always pick up the handset and then put it down if the call is a fax. If an answering machine is connected the Fax will be automatically answered), Fax Priority Mode (the fax will be automatically received. If you hear the machine's ringtone, pick up the handset and press Stop to answer the call.), Fax only or DRPD (distinctive ring - available extra from your telephone company).

To fax out, press Fax, put your item to fax face up in the ADF and then dial the fax number of your receipient.

You have to have either a dedicated phone line just for the fax --or-- pay your phone company approximately $2 a month for a service called Distinctive Ringtone. This service will ring a certain way when you have an incoming fax. You will then configure your fax machine to pick up when this distinctive rington is heard. The ringtone is usually two or three quick rings. Your fax machine's settings will have this setting.

Unfortunately, you can't just plug your fax machine into your phone line and start sending/receiving faxes. Look through your fax machine's manual regarding the distinctive ring service. Good luck!!

Can you still send fax? if sending and receiving are not working you can try to update or uninstall/reinstall the software for this unit..

Hope that helps.............

check the setting in the receive mode button. set it to fax

get distinctive ring service from your phone company, that will get you a different number, on the same line, with different ringing pattern, my tel compnay charges $5 per month, then set the fax options to DRPD, and it will go directly to fax machine, while the phone calls on first number, will go to telepehone.....

Can you send? Can you make copies? Do you have it set to auto receive?Is the phone cord plugged into the line socket? Let me know!
