"user tools", scroll to....."fax features", scroll to "setup", scroll to "no. of rings"
Set the appropriate number of rings to not conflict with Voice mail, etc...usually 4 will do, but just test the phone and fax after you set it up, to make sure it is ok. You can test it by calling it from your cell phone, or a land line (on another line), in other words, you don't have to wait for a fax, just dial the fax number and see when the fax picks up, then try the phone number etc.
