"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. Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can "learn" the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the FAX machine.

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:

From [Fax Setup]:

¾Press the scroll button or until you see [DRPD Mode] on the bottom line and press [Enter].

¾When [Set] is displayed on the bottom line, press [Enter]. [Waiting Ring] appears on the display.

¾Call your fax number from another telephone. It is not necessary to place the call from a fax machine.

¾When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The machine requires several rings to learn the pattern.
