Using Convenient Fax Functions > Using a Connected Telephone
DRD Reception (Available for some countries.)
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.
