"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.
