Receiving faxes using DRPD mode
This setting may not be available depending on your country. 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
printer can learn the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the fax
printer. 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 printer 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 printer.
6. When your printer begins to ring, do not answer the call. The printer
requires several rings to learn the pattern.
When the printer 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.
