–The remote reception function is useful when the receive mode is set to <MANUAL> and connected to an external telephone. You can receive faxes by picking up the external telephone and pressing a two-digit remote reception ID (the default setting is 25). For details, see Chapter 4, ”Sending and receiving” in the Reference Guide.

–Your telephone with built-in answering machine or answering machine must be connected directly to the machine for <AnsMode> to work. (See “Connect Telephone Cables,” on p. 12.)

–The external telephone must be connected to the machine for <FAX/TEL> or <MANUAL> to work. (See “Connect Telephone Cables,” on p. 12.)

–By default, <FaxOnly> is selected in <1 RX MODE>. If external telephone is connected to the machine and receives a fax or voice call, the external telephone rings. You can answer the voice call while the external telephone is ringing.

For incoming ring to be disabled, press [Additional Functions] → <6 FAX SETTINGS> → <4 RX SETTINGS> → <3 INCOMING RING> then select <OFF>.

–Voice mail is not supported with <AnsMode>.

–DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) service assigns two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a single telephone line, allowing you to have both a fax number(s) and a telephone number(s) using only one telephone line. Your fax will automatically monitor incoming calls and based on the ring pattern, will let you know if the call is a fax or voice call. Set the fax ring pattern that matches the pattern assigned by your telephone company. Contact your telephone company for availability.
