TELEPHONE SERVICES
VERY IMPORTANT
If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to
keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the
FAX/MFC in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring
Feature. Here’s why:
MANUAL
mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it
is «Neutral». When the FAX/MFC is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring
Feature can be activated. The distinctive ring feature is actually an answering
mode. So, do not activate
FAX ONLY
mode or
FAX/TEL
mode while using
distinctive ring; otherwise, the fax machine will answer calls for all the numbers.
Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern
1
Set the FAX/MFC to MANUAL mode.
2
Press Menu/Set, 2, 0, 1.
3
Press to select DISTINCTIVE:SET?, and then press Menu/Set.
4
Press to select the prestored ring pattern you want to assign, and then press
Menu/Set. (You will hear each pattern as you scoll through the four patterns.)
Be sure to choose the pattern assigned by the telephone company.
5
Press Stop/Exit.
Caller ID
After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (or name,
if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears
from the LCD, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
■ You will see the first 16 characters of the number (or name).
■ OUT-OF-AREA display means call originates outside your Caller ID service
area.
■ PRIVATE CALL display means the caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.
■ CALL PICKUP display remains on the LCD when no Caller ID information
was transmitted.
If both the name and number are received, the LCD shows only the name. You
can print a list of Caller ID information received by your FAX/MFC. (See
Printing Caller ID List, page 8-4.)
Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone
company to determine the kind of service available in your area.
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by
many local telephone companies. This service provides you the name or
telephone number of your caller as the line rings.
