Receiving faxes using DRPD mode
This setting may not be available depending on your country. Distinctive
Ring is a telephone company service which enables an user to use a single
telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The
particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different ringing
patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing
sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who answer
telephones for many different clients and need to know which number
someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature, your fax
printer can learn the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the fax
printer. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be
recognized and answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be
forwarded to the extension telephone or answering printer plugged into the
EXT socket. You can easily suspend or change DRPD at any time.
Before using the DRPD option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on
