MFC 4450/OP-US-5.0

RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS DISTINCTIVE RINGING (WITH AN EXTERNAL TELEPHONE CONNECTED TO THE MFC)

Can I Change the Setting Later?

Yes, you can change or cancel the distinctive ringing setting at any time. You can switch it OFF temporarily and then turn it back ON. When you move or get a new fax number, change the distinctive ringing mode to SET so you can register the new number.

How Will the MFC Treat All Other Numbers?

As long as the MFC is set to Manual mode and you have registered its distinctive ringing number, the MFC will answer only the registered number. When a call comes in to your main number (or additional distinctive ringing numbers), all the phoneswill ring until you or an answeringmachinepick up the call. (See the chart onpage6-20.)

If you want the MFC to allow a telephone answering device (TAD) to answer only the main number(s), you must leave the MFC in Manual mode. You can plug the telephone answering device into either the EXT jack of the MFC or into a separate phonejack.IftheTADisintheEXTjack,youwillnothearthefirst tworingsonthe TAD. The TAD must be set to its maximum number of rings (at least 4 ring cycles). Otherwise,itwillanswertheregistereddistinctiveringingnumberbeforetheMFC hastimetorecognizetheringingpattern.

If you change the answer mode on the MFC to Fax or F/T, that setting will override the Distinctive Ringing setup. In Fax or F/T modes, your MFC will answer all the phone numbers (including its own ring pattern).
