While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press MONITOR/CALL.

Some telephone companies provide only a very general description — for example, “short-short-long” — of their DRD ring patterns. Fortunately, though, your fax has eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine + DRD. One of them should work with your phone company’s DRD service. This chart lists the patterns:

Pattern

One complete ring pattern (seconds)

 

 

A

0.8 on, 0.4 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off

B

0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off

C

0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off, 0.3 on, 4.0 off

D

1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 off

E

0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off

F

0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.0 off

G

0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off

H

1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off

I

2.0 on, 4.0 off, 2.0 on, 4.0 off

For example: pattern C is 0.3 seconds ringing, 0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing,

0.2seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent; then it goes back to the first 0.3-second ring and starts over.

To use DRD on your fax machine:

1 Contact your phone company and confirm that the phone company has set up DRD service for you. If possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the phone company has assigned you.

2 Press PROGRAM, J, 1, 8, ENTER. The LCD will show:

DRD:Off

Program/Enter

If you see the setting you wish, skip to step 4.

Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

3 To change the setting, press PROGRAM once or twice until your desired choice appears. Here, we’ve chosen On.

DRD:On

Program/Enter

4 Press ENTER.

Ring Pattern: A

Program/Enter

Beyond the basics

5 If “A” is the pattern you want, skip to step 7. If not, proceed to step 6.

6 Press PROGRAM repeatedly until your desired pattern appears (in our exam- ple here, “C”):

Ring Pattern: C

Program/Enter

7 Press ENTER to set your machine to the displayed ring pattern.

Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern specifications, or if you otherwise encounter a problem while trying to use your machine’s DRD feature, please try ALL of the listed ring patterns. (If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns, please call the Muratec Customer Support Center (from the United States, call 972 364-3350; for the number to call from Canada, check your documentation found inside your fax machine’s box).

Important: With your machine set for using DRD, it won’t respond to any ring pat- tern other than the one you’ve selected, above. To reset the fax so it will respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2–4, above — except, in step 3, toggle it to “Off.” Your fax now will respond nor- mally.

Call request

Wondering why your monitor speaker’s activation key is called MONITOR/CALL? Now, we’ll explain the CALL part of the name. It may be hard to believe, but you actually can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation on the same call (although not at the same time). This is called a call request. It doesn’t matter whether you’re sending the fax or receiving it. You may fax first and then talk, or talk first and then fax.

Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar call-request capability. Your machine must also have an optional handset attached.

Faxing/receiving first, then talking
