How do I set the distinctive ring for the printer?

Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature offered by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (a single ring, a double ring, a triple ring). The different ring patterns let you know what telephone number was dialed, and what device you should use to answer the call.

Assign one of your telephone numbers to the printer as the fax number, and then set the printer to answer the ring pattern of that number. If the pattern is set incorrectly, then the printer rings, but it never receives the fax.

To set the ring pattern in the printer:

1From the home screen, navigate to Ring Pattern:

> Fax Setup > Ringing and Answering > Ring Pattern

2Touch the correct ring pattern for the printer, and then touch Accept.

Distinctive Ring is also called Ident-a-Call, Smart Ring, Teen Ring, RingMaster, and IdentaRing.

How can I check the dial tone?

A dial tone lets you know if the telephone line is working or if the printer is properly connected to the telephone line. If you encounter problems sending and receiving faxes, then make sure you can hear a dial tone on the line and through the printer.

Make sure the telephone line and the wall jack are working

1Plug an analog telephone into the wall jack.

2Listen for a dial tone through the telephone handset.

If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line and the wall jack are working.

If you do not hear a dial tone, plug the analog telephone into a second wall jack, and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line is working but the first wall jack is not working.

Make sure the printer is connected properly to the telephone line

1While the printer is connected to a telephone line through the port on the back of the printer, plug an analog telephone into the port of the printer.

2Listen for a dial tone.

If you hear a dial tone, then the telephone line is working and properly connected to the printer.

If you do not hear a dial tone through both the wall jack and the printer, then see the “Fax troubleshooting checklist” on page 148.
