DISTINCTIVE RING

Distinctive ring is a service offered by some local telephone companies which allows you to use up to four different telephone numbers, each with a different ring pattern, on your regular single line. If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service you can set your fax to automatically answer when it detects one of those ring patterns, thereby allowing you to use the number corresponding to that pattern as an exclusive fax number.

Important:

∙To use distinctive ring, you must subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your local phone company. Do not make this setting if you do not subscribe to a distinctive ring service.

∙Your fax may not be compatible with some distinctive ring services.

If this feature is turned on, your fax will automatically answer and begin reception after one ring when your designated fax number is dialed. Note that other devices on the same line will also ring until your fax answers. If one of your other numbers is dialed, the fax will ring; however, it will not answer.

To use distinctive ring, you must set Option Setting 29 to the desired ring pattern for your fax. The procedure for accessing Option Setting 29 is described in Chapter 5, "Optional Settings".
