Sony IJP-V100 - Manual (Page 64)

Using Distinctive Ring
If you have one phone line that receives both voice and fax calls, you
may want to use this feature.
The Distinctive Ring feature of the Sony IJP-V100, when used in con­
junction with your telephone company’s distinctive ringing service,
allows both you and the Sony IJP-V 100 to distinguish between voice
calls and fax calls when you receive both on the same phone line.
Note: Your telephone company may use a different name for this ser­
vice. For example, it’s called “Identa-ring” in parts of New Jersey and
“RingMaster” in parts of Florida.
Use the following procedure to set up your Sony IJP-VlOO and your
telephone line for Distinctive Ring.
O
Call your telephone company to find out if they have a distinctive
ringing service available in your area. At the time of this printing, it is
still unavailable in
many areas.
Important: If you can’t subscribe to this service through your tele­
phone company, the Distinctive Ring feature on the Sony IJP-V 100
will not work, and should be set to All Rings.
The telephone company’s distinctive ringing service allows you to
have 2 or 3 phone numbers on the same phone line, which saves you
the cost of paying for 2 or 3 separate lines. It also allows you and the
Sony IJP-V 100 to hear which phone number has been dialed. Each of
the phone numbers will have a different ringing sound: One can have
a single ring, another can have a double ring, and the third can have a
triple ring.
O When you set up the distinctive ringing service with your tele­
phone company, decide how many rings you want to assign to your
fax line: single, double, or triple rings.
