OKI B2540 MFP .... Just in the process of setting it up. I have one problem: I have one telepone line that rings once for most incoming calls but for faxing purposes I have a second number on the same line that has a double ring to it. How do I get the B2540 to only answer the fax machine on the double ring? If the incoming call only has the standard, single ring, I do not want the fax machine to pick up.

Hello,

You need to get an auto switch box such as the Command Communications Comswitch 5500 it was what is called distinctive ring and that if the function you need. You can plug in your phone, fax machine, answering machine, etc. You can get them from Office Depot, Office Max, Staples and such.

I hope this helps, If so please rate our solution.

Dear, Oki B2540 MFP my printer, has in memory a large amount of faxes received but not printed, due to exhaustion of the toner. I would like to know how i can eliminate the memory of the faxes not...

You cannot clear the fax memory as its integral with the main memory. The only way to do it would be to wipe the whole printer of its memory and start again. Its not worth it. Just let it print them!

How do i set up fax to automaticely receive faxes after several rings

For a phone line dedicated only to the fax machine, the process is as follows:
  1. Press Menu/Set, 0, 1.
  2. You will see the Fax Receive window
  3. Use UP and DOWN arrows to change the setting to FAX ONLY
  4. Press Menu/Set.
  5. Press STOP/EXIT
Your fax machine will now answer every incoming call.
If the fax machine is sharing the phone line with a telephone, repeat the above steps and change from FAX ONLY to FAX/TEL This option will allow you to share the line with a phone only, not an answering machine. Once in FAX/TEL mode, the fax machine will still grab every incoming FAX call, and give a special ring (slightly different than a regular telephone ring) when it's a regular incoming phone call signaling you to answer the phone. I hope this helps with your problem. Best of luck!
