distinctive ring (DRPD)

Distinctive ring or distinctive ring pattern detection (DRPD) is a service offered by some telephone companies. When you subscribe to this service, you have different ring patterns; such as double ring and triple ring, that allow you to have different telephone numbers on one physical line. Your HP Fax works with distinctive ring service. If you have this service follow both of these instructions in this order to set it up and use it.

Tip! Distinctive ring must be set up again if you reassign your fax number or connect the machine to another telephone line. Once set up again (that is, the fax machine has learned the ring pattern and the answering mode is correctly set), you should test the fax machine by calling the fax number and another number on the same line. The machine should respond appropriately to a call placed to the fax number with fax tones, and to a normal telephone call with the expected ring pattern.
