Custom Features
Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone
services offered by some telephone companies.
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service or
an alarm system custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a
problem in the operation of your fax machine.
Distinctive Ring
This fax machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring subscriber
service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have
several telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its
own Distinctive Ring pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing.
This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your fax
machine.
Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate
one phone number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the
directions below to “register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern, that was
assigned by the Telephone Company, so your fax machine can recognize its
incoming calls.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can
switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax
number, make sure you reset this function.
