■The MFC will only answer calls to its registered number.

■The first two rings are silent on the fax machine. This is because the fax must «listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was ’registered’). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.)

■If you program the MFC properly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the ’fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the ’voice number’ is called, the MFC will not answer.

Very important

When you set the Distinctive Ring feature to ON, the receive mode is set to MANUAL automatically. MANUAL mode will never pick up a call by itself since it is <<Neutral>>. You can not change the receive mode to the other mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
