Case D: Fax with a distinctive ring service on the same line
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service (through your telephone company) that allows you to have multiple
phone numbers on one phone line, each with a different ring pattern, set up the printer as described in this
section.
Back view of the printer
1 Telephone wall jack
2 Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the 1-LINE port.
You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.
To set up the printer with a distinctive ring service
1. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then
connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer.
NOTE: You might need to connect the supplied phone cord to the adapter provided for your country/
region.
If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, you might not
be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already
have in your home or office.
2. Turn on the Auto Answer setting.
3. Change the Distinctive Ring setting to match the pattern that the telephone company assigned to your fax
number.
NOTE: By default, the printer is set to answer all ring patterns. If you do not set the Distinctive Ring to
match the ring pattern assigned to your fax number, the printer might answer both voice calls and fax
calls or it might not answer at all.
TIP: You can also use the Ring Pattern Detection feature in the printer’s control panel to set distinctive
ring. With this feature, the printer recognizes and records the ring pattern of an incoming call and, based
on this call, automatically determines the distinctive ring pattern assigned by your telephone company to
fax calls. For more information, see
Change the answer ring pattern for distinctive ring.
4. (Optional) Change the Rings to Answer setting to the lowest setting (two rings).
5. Run a fax test.
The printer automatically answers incoming calls that have the ring pattern you selected (Distinctive Ring
setting) after the number of rings you selected (Rings to Answer setting). The printer begins emitting fax
reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.
