D.R.D. Reception (Available in inch versions only)
This reception mode utilizes the Distinctive Ring Pattern
service available from some telephone companies. With this
service, you can use two or more telephone numbers on a
single telephone line. Thus, you can use this fax and a
telephone on the same line, but you can still designate a
different telephone number for each of them. As each number
is given a different ring pattern, the fax machine is able to
differentiate between incoming calls. If one of these numbers
is designated for this fax machine, and the desired ring
pattern is designated for that number in advance, fax
reception will be initiated automatically whenever the machine
detects the ring pattern distinctive to the fax.
* Using D.R.D. Reception to receive a telephone call is only
possible if a separately purchased telephone is connected
to this fax machine.
* D.R.D. reception is only possible if you subscribe to the
Distinctive Ring Pattern service provided by your telephone
company. Contact your telephone company for further
information on the Distinctive Ring Pattern service available.
● Preparation
* Refer to “Selecting the Automatic Reception Mode” on page 6-5,
and select “D.R.D.”.

not, touch the reception mode select key and then touch the “Auto
RX” key.
1. When a call comes in, the telephone will ring.
* If the telephone receiver is picked up while the telephone is still
ringing, the fax will deal with the call in the same manner as a
standard Manual Fax Reception. (Refer to “Manual Fax
Reception” on page 2-15.)
2. The fax machine will then ring using the predetermined ring pattern.
