Distinctive ring (DRPD)
Distinctive ring (DRPD)
Distinctive ring or distinctive ring pattern detection (DRPD) is a service offered by some
telephone companies. When you subscribe to this service through your local phone
company, you have different ring patterns; such as double ring and triple ring, that allow
you to have different telephone numbers on one physical line. Your HP Fax works with
distinctive ring service.
Use Distinctive Ring to set your HP Fax to answer one of your phone numbers as a fax
only line. The phone number (ring pattern) that you teach the HP Fax will be answered
as if the machine is in FAX mode. All other numbers on the same line will be answered
if they are in AUTO mode.
If you have this service follow
both
of these instructions
in this order
to set it up and
use it.
Step 1—Teach the HP Fax the ring pattern
The HP Fax will learn the ring pattern when you call it from another telephone or fax
machine.
1.
Be ready to call the fax machine.
2.
Press
Menu
repeatedly until
ADVANCED FAX
displays and press
OK
.
3.
Use
to scroll through the options until
Distinctive Ring
displays and
press
OK
.
Call this fax from another fax machine... Waiting Ring...
will display.
4.
Call the HP Fax.
DRPD OK
will display when the pattern has been learned and the HP Fax will return
to Ready mode.
Step 2—Set up distinctive ring (DRPD) answer mode
Once you have activated distinctive ring, it becomes one of the answering modes you
can select by pressing the
Rcv.Mode/Contrast
button.
S
Press
Rcv.Mode/Contrast
repeatedly until
DRPD Mode
appears in the display.
• In Ready mode,
DRPD
appears in the right hand corner of the display.
• Now, the HP Fax will manage calls and faxes as if it were set to AUTO mode
(
AUTO mode
on page 28)
TIP:
Distinctive ring must be set up again if you reassign your fax number or connect
the machine to another telephone line. Once set up again (that is, the fax machine has
learned the ring pattern and the answering mode is correctly set), you should test the fax
machine by calling the fax number and another number on the same line. The machine
should respond appropriately to a call placed to the fax number with fax tones, and to a
normal telephone call with the expected ring pattern.
