O distinctive ring detection
Many phone companies now offer their customers a special service which makes it
possible for one phone line to do the work of two.
With this service, you physically still have one phone line, but, electronically, you
have two phone numbers. Your phone recognizes these different numbers and rings
differently for each one.
For example, this makes it easy for you to have both a business number and a home
number on one phone line, so you can answer one with “Jane Doe Consulting,” and
the other with “Hello.” This works because you can tell the difference between the
distinctive patterns of the two rings.
Your fax machine is also smart enough to tell the difference between two different
numbers that are ringing it. All you have to do is set up your machine for the
O distinctive ring detection (
DRD
) feature.
In order to use O
DRD
, your phone company must set up your distinctive
ring service. When it does, it will assign a ring pattern. For example, the standard
telephone ring is 2 seconds “on” (ringing) and 4 seconds “off” (silent), after which it
repeats itself.
Your fax has eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with O
DRD
.
One of them should work with your phone company’s
DRD
service. This chart lists
the patterns:
Pattern
One complete ring pattern (seconds)
A
0.8 on, 0.4 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
B
0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
C
0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off, 0.3 on, 4.0 off
D
1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 off
E
0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off
F
0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.0 off
G
0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off
H
1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off
For example: pattern
C
is 0.3 seconds ringing, 0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing,
0.2 seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent. Then it goes back to the
first 0.3-second ring and starts over.
To use
DRD
on your fax machine:
1
Contact your phone company to make sure it has set up
DRD
service for you. If
possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the phone company has
assigned you.

Press Program key,
B

ENTER
.
The
LCD

Press
or

”.
6
Press

to set your machine to the displayed ring pattern.
Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern
specifications, or if you encounter a problem while using your
machine’s
DRD
feature, please try
ALL
of the listed ring patterns.
If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns, please call
the Imagistics Customer Support Center.
Important: With your machine set for using
DRD
, it won’t respond to any ring pat-
tern other than the one you selected above. To reset the fax so it will
respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2–4, above — except,
in step 3, toggle it to “Off.” Your fax will now respond normally.
