Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature

(See p. 21)

Some companies offer a distinctive ring pattern (DRP) service that allows you to as- sign two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a single tele- phone line. By subscribing to such a service, you can have both a fax number(s) and a telephone number(s) for your FAXPHONE using only one phone line.

When a call is made, the FAXPHONE checks the incoming ring pattern and knows if the call is from another fax unit or from a telephone.

Fax Only Mode __________________________________

The FAXPHONE is set up at the factory for both fax transmission and telephone calls. If you have a dedicated fax line, you need to set the FAXPHONE to Fax Only Mode.

Setting Fax Only Mode

When you set the FAXPHONE to Fax Only Mode, the unit picks up every call and automatically treats it as a fax transmission.

The FAXPHONE cannot receive automatically if you are making copies, printing reports, or registering information. See p. 68.
