Receiving Faxes in the DRPD Mode
The Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) is a service provided by some telephone companies.
This service assigns multiple telephone numbers to a single telephone line and distinguishes each line
with a distinctive ring pattern of long and short sounds. If this service is available from your telephone
company, subscribe the service and ask the telephone company which one of the available seven
DRPD patterns on your printer you can use for the service.
