Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode

“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you on is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.

Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the FAX machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be recognised and answered as a FAX call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection at any time.

Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you will need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial your FAX number from outside.

To set up the DRPD mode:

1Press Menu until “Fax Setup” appears on the top line of the display.

The first available menu item, “Receive Mode,” displays on the bottom line.

2Press the scroll button ( or ) until you see “DRPD Mode” on the bottom line and press Enter.

3When “Set” displays on the bottom line, press Enter. The LCD displays ‘Waiting Ring.”

4Call your fax number from another telephone. It is not necessary to place the call from a fax machine.

5When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The machine requires several rings to learn the pattern.

When the machine completes learning, the LCD displays “End DRPD Setup”.

If the DRPD setup fails, “DRPD Ring Error” appears. Press Enter when “DRPD Mode” displays and retry from Step 3.
