Muratec F-98 - Manual (Page 53)

Some telephone companies provide only a very general description — for example,
“short-short-long” — of their
DRD ring patterns. Fortunately, though, your fax has
eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine + DRD . One of them
should work with your phone company’s DRD service. This chart lists the patterns:
Pattern One complete ring pattern (seconds)
A 0.8 on, 0.4 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
B 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
C 0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off, 0.3 on, 4.0 off
D 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 off
E 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off
F 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.0 off
G 0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off
H 1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off
I
2.0 on, 4.0 off, 2.0 on, 4.0 off
For example: pattern C is 0.3 seconds ringing, 0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing,
0.2 seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent; then it goes back to the
first 0.3-second ring and starts over.
To use
DRD on your fax machine:
1 Contact your phone company and confirm that the phone company has set up
DRD service for you. If possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the
phone company has assigned you.
2 Press PROGRAM , J , 1, 8, ENTER . The LCD will show:
If you see the setting you wish, skip to step 4.
Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
3 To change the setting, press PROGRAM once or twice until your desired choice
appears. Here, we’ve chosen On.
4 Press ENTER .
5 If “ A ” is the pattern you want, skip to step 7.
If not, proceed to step 6.
6 Press PROGRAM repeatedly until your desired pattern appears (in our exam-
ple here, “ C ”):
7 Press ENTER to set your machine to the displayed ring pattern.
Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern
specifications, or if you otherwise encounter a problem while trying to
use your machine’s
DRD feature, please try ALL of the listed ring
patterns. (If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns,
please call the Muratec Customer Support Center (from the United
States, call 972 364-3350; for the number to call from Canada, check
your documentation found inside your fax machine’s box).
Important: With your machine set for using DRD , it won’t respond to any ring pat-
tern other than the one you’ve selected, above. To reset the fax so it
will respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2–4, above —
except, in step 3, toggle it to “Off.” Your fax now will respond nor-
mally.
Call request
Wondering why your monitor speaker’s activation key is called MONITOR / CALL ?
Now, we’ll explain the CALL part of the name. It may be hard to believe, but you
actually can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation
on the same call (although not at the same time). This is called a call request. It
doesn’t matter whether you’re sending the fax or receiving it. You may fax first and
then talk, or talk first and then fax.
Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar
call-request capability. Your machine must also have an optional
handset attached.
Faxing/receiving first, then talking
To send or receive a fax first and then talk:
1 While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press MONITOR / CALL .
2 At the remote fax machine, the ringer will ring after that machine receives
each page.
