Distinctive Ring

Speed access no. 67

Some telephone carriers offer a service called Distinctive Ring. Distinctive Ring lets you have different numbers on one line, each with its own distinctive ring. You can then use one number exclusively as a fax number without the expense of a second line. Your local telephone carrier can provide you with more information about this service, which usually has an additional charge.

Available settings are:

OFF (not detected)

ON (detected)

SET (programmed)

The default setting is OFF.

!You must have your local telephone carrier’s Distinctive Ring service.

!Your fax machine must be in FAX, MEM, or PC answer mode.

!Other modes—TEL, TEL/FAX, or TAD—will override Distinctive Ring.

!This feature may not work properly if you have a telephone other than a genuine Oki optional handset connected to your fax machine.
