Receiving with a distinctive ring service
This feature can only be used by those who subscribe to a distinctive ring pattern service from their
telephone company. For more information on the availability of this service, please contact your
telephone company before setting this feature to ON.
The distinctive ring service gives you up to 3 phone numbers on a single telephone line, each having a
different ringing pattern. When you use one of the phone numbers as a facsimile number, program the ringing
pattern assigned for fax into your unit. When the unit detects a call matching the selected distinctive ringing
pattern, the unit will activate depending on the receive mode setting.
Setting the distinctive ringing pattern
Program the ring pattern assigned for fax. Ringing patterns that can be programmed are;
A:
Standard ring (one long ring)
B: Double ring (two short rings)
C: Triple ring (short-long-short rings)
D: Other triple ring (short-short-long rings)
OFF: Turns off the ring pattern detection feature (pre-selected setting).
How the unit will answer in each receive mode
¡ ANS/FAX mode: When a distinctive ringing pattern that matches your selection is detected, the unit will
automatically answer the line and activate the fax function to receive documents.
If other ringing patterns are received, the unit will activate the fax function or the
answering system depending on the call.
¡ TEL/FAX mode: When a distinctive ringing pattern that matches your selection is detected, the unit will
automatically answer the line and activate the fax function to receive documents.
If other ringing patterns are received, the unit will ring until you answer the call.
¡ TEL mode: In this mode, you have to answer all calls manually.
¡ FAX mode: In this mode, the unit will answer all calls and activate the fax function.
Note:
● The unit automatically answers a distinctive ring call after the second ring. To change the number of rings,
change the FAX mode ring count (see “Setting the FAX mode ring count” on page 58) after setting the
ringing pattern.
