If you have subscribed to a Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) service provided by your
telephone company, your telephone company will assign two or more telephone numbers with
distinctive ring patterns to your single telephone line, allowing you to have different numbers for fax
calls and voice calls using only one telephone line. Your machine will automatically monitor the ring
pattern, and will automatically receive the fax if the ring pattern is a fax call.
To use DRPD, follow the procedure below to set the fax ring pattern that matches the pattern
assigned by your telephone company.
Note
Contact your local telephone company for detailed information on this service.
