1 1 RING RESPONSE: This function controls how long your
OKIFAX waits before answering an incoming telephone call.
The available settings are 1 RING (default), 5 SECONDS, 10
SECONDS, 15 SECONDS, or 20 SECONDS.
Note: At the default 1-ring setting, your OKIFAX answers calls
immediately, and you will not hear any ring. If you need to
hear the ring, change to one of the other settings.
12 DISTINCTIVE RING: Distinctive ringing is a service offered by
some telephone carriers. It lets you have different numbers
on one line, each with its own distinctive ring. You can then
use one number exclusively as a fax number without the ex-
pense of a second line. (Your local telephone carrier can pro-
vide you with more information about this service, which
usually has an additional charge.) To use this function, refer
to Setting Your Fax Machine’s Ring Pattern below. Available
settings are OFF (default) and ON.
Notes: Notes: Notes: Notes: Notes:
■ You must have your local telephone carrier’s
Distinctive Ring service.
■ Your OKIFAX must be in FAX or PC answer mode, and
the PBX dial parameter must be set to OFF. Other modes–
TEL, TEL/FAX, or TAD–will override Distinctive Ring.
■ This feature may not work properly if you have a
telephone other than a genuine Okidata optional handset
connected to your OKIFAX.

assigned ring pattern. Be sure to let it ring until either
RESULT=OK or RESULT=NG displays. When the
OKIFAX has sucessfully finished programming its
ring pattern, the display shows RESULT=OK.
