TIP: Distinctive ring must be set up again if you reassign your fax number or
connect the machine to another telephone line. Once set up again (that is, the
fax machine has learned the ring pattern and the answering mode is correctly
set), you should test the fax machine by calling the fax number and another
number on the same line. The machine should respond appropriately to a call
placed to the fax number with fax tones, and to a normal telephone call with the
expected ring pattern.
Answer/receive mode
How the product receives faxes depends on the answer/receive mode you
chose when you set up the product. You can send faxes in any answer/receive
mode. The answer/receive mode setting determines how the device answers the
incoming call.
