Receiving faxes using DRPD mode
Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables an user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you 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 (DRPD) 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 recognized 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 socket. You can easily suspend or change DRPD at any time.
Before using the DRPD option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up DRPD, 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:
1.Press 
Fax.
2.Press Menu until Fax Setup appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.
3.Press the left/right arrow until Receiving appears and press OK.
4.Press the left/right arrow until DRPD Mode appears and press OK. Waiting Ring appears on the display.
5.Call your fax number from another telephone. It is not necessary to place the call from a fax machine.
6.When 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 display shows Completed DRPD Setup. If the DRPD setup fails, Error DRPD Ring appears. Press OK when DRPD Mode appears and start over from step 4.
7.Press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.
• DRPD must be set up again if you
•After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call placed to a different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT socket.
Receiving in secure receiving mode
You may need to prevent your received faxes from being accessed by unauthorized people. You can turn on secure receiving mode to restrict printing of received faxes when the machine is unattended. In secure receiving mode, all incoming faxes go into memory. When the mode is deactivated, any stored faxes are printed.
