If you do not receive all your faxes, you must reset the setting on your external TAD to four rings.
If You Subscribe to your Telephone Company’s Distinctive Ring Service:
You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service, have registered the distinctive ring pattern on your MFC, use that number as a fax number and set your machine’s Receive mode to MANUAL. The recommended setting is three or four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring Service.
If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service:
You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your MFC. If your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to control the phone line. (See illustration below.)
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line
(unless you have the Distinctive Ring service).
