Note
Ring Pattern #1 is often called Short-Short
and is the most commonly used.
If the ring pattern you received is not on
this chart,
please call your telephone
company and ask for one that is
shown
.
 The machine will only answer calls to its
registered number.
 The first two rings are silent on the
machine. This is because the fax must
“listen” to the ring pattern (to compare it to
the pattern that was “registered”). Other
telephones on the same line will ring.
 If you program the machine properly, it will
recognize the registered ring pattern of the
“fax number” within 2 ring patterns and
then answer with fax tones. When the
“voice number” is called, the machine will
not answer.
Registering the Distinctive Ring
pattern

Very Important !
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to
On
, your Distinctive Ring number will
receive faxes automatically. The Receive
Mode is automatically set to
Manual
and you
cannot change it to another Receive Mode
while Distinctive Ring is set to
On
. This
ensures the Brother machine will only answer
the Distinctive Ring number and will not
interfere when your main telephone number
is called. When Distinctive Ring is on, the
screen will show
D/R
as the Receive Mode.
