DRD Reception
This reception mode utilizes the Distinctive Ring Pattern service available through some telephone companies.
With this service, you can use two or more fax numbers on a single telephone line. Thus, you can use this fax
and a telephone on the same line, and you can still designate a different fax number for each of them. As each
number is given a different ring pattern, the machine is able to differentiate between incoming calls. If one of
these numbers is designated for the machine, and a desired ring pattern is designated for that number in
advance, fax reception will be initiated automatically whenever the machine detects the ring pattern distinctive
to the fax.
NOTE:
Using DRD Reception to receive a telephone call is only possible if a separately purchased telephone
is connected to the machine. DRD reception is only possible if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern
service provided by your telephone company. Contact your telephone company for further information on the
Distinctive Ring Pattern service available.
