LaserWriter FAX Printer & Rings Before Answering Setting (6/95)


We are not able to change the number of "Rings Before Answering" using the LaserWriter Fax Utility to any number above 10. We have a LaserWriter 16/600 PS w/fax card, and when we select "Incoming Fax Settings" and type in any number above 10, the LaserWriter Fax Utility states that value has been changed. Selecting "incoming Fax Settings" again shows that the number has defaulted back to the previous number between 1 and 10. The manual states that you can type in a value from 1 to 30.

You are correct, the only settings possible are between 1 and 10 inclusive. We have reported this problem to engineering for verification.

Our own testing via PostScript code interrogation of the printer indicates that the only fax card values accepted for "Rings Before Answering" are only from 1 to 10 inclusive.

These limits will apply to all Apple Postscript Fax capable printers including the LaserWriter Select 360, LaserWriter Pro 810, and LaserWriter 16/600 PS.
