Distinctive Ring: User Function 12

Some telephone carriers offer a service called Distinctive Ring. Distinctive Ring lets you have different numbers on one line, each with its own distinctive ring. You can then use one number exclusively as a fax number without the expense of a second line. (Your local telephone carrier can provide you with more information about this service, which usually has an additional charge.) To use this function, refer to Setting Your Fax Machine’s Ring Pattern below. Available settings are OFF (default) and ON.

!You must have your local telephone carrier’s Distinctive Ring service.Your fax machine must be in FAX answer

mode, and the PBX dial parameter must be set to OFF. Other modes—TEL, TEL/FAX, or TAD—will override Distinctive Ring.This feature may not work properly if you have a telephone other than a genuine Oki optional handset connected to your fax machine.
