Distinctive Ring
This feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered by
some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone
numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive
Ring pattern, so you’ll know which phone number is ringing. This is one
way you can have a separate phone number for your MFC.
Your MFC has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one
phone number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the directions
below to “register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern, that was assigned by
the Telephone Company, so your MFC can recognize its incoming calls.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can
switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax
number, be sure to you reset this function.
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the MFC. Some
ring patterns cannot be registered.

The MFC will answer only calls to its registered number.

You will not hear the first two rings of all incoming calls on the MFC.
■
To have your external TAD answer only the main number, the MFC must
be in MANUAL Mode.

In FAX mode, the MFC will answer all numbers on the phone line.
