Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode
“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single
telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone
uses to call you on is identified by different ringing patterns, available in combinations of long
and short ringing sounds.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can “learn” the ring
pattern you designate to be answered by the FAX machine. This ringing pattern may be
recognized and answered as a FAX call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the extension telephone socket ( )
on the back of your printer. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection at any time.
Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be
installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection, you may need another telephone line at your location, dial your FAX number from
another line.
