Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong)
This MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing 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 Ringing pattern, so youll 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 Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for
receiving faxes. Youll need to set Distinctive Ringing to ON.
