NOTE 1 Depending on the model of the Telephone Answering Machine (TAM) that is connected, some
of the features may not be compatible with your fax machine operating in the TAM Interface
mode.
2 If you are using the "Distinctive Ring Service" provided by your local telephone company,
please note that the ring pattern for your fax number must match with the setting of Fax
Parameter No. 30 (DRD SERVICE). (See page 34)
If the setting does not match with the ring pattern, your machine will not receive a document

Furthermore, if your TAM does not support the "Distinctive Ring Detector" service, it may not
function properly in TAM Interface.
