Step 5: Set the number of rings
If you set Auto Answer to On in Step 4, then do the following. If you set Auto Answer to Off, then proceed
to Step 6.
If you subscribe to Distinctive Ring
Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DPRD)
feature offered by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on
one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (All Rings, Single Ring Only,
Double Ring Only, Triple Ring Only, Single or Double Rings Only, Single or Triple Rings Only, Double or
Triple Rings Only). The different ring patterns let you know which telephone number was dialed and which
device you should use to answer the call.
Assign one of your telephone numbers to the printer as the fax number, and then set the printer to answer
the ring pattern of that number. If the pattern is set incorrectly, then the printer rings, but it never receives
the fax.
