Some telephone companies provide only a very general description — for example,
“short-short-long” — of their
DRD
ring patterns. Fortunately, though, your fax has
eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine +
DRD
. One of them
should work with your phone company’s
DRD
service. This chart lists the patterns:
Pattern One complete ring pattern (seconds)
A
0.8 on, 0.4 off
B
0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
C
0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off, 0.3 on, 4.0 off
D
1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 ms off
E
0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off
F
0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.0 off
G
0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off
H
1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off
I
2 on, 4 off
For example: pattern
C
is 0.3 seconds ringing, 0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing,
0.2 seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent; then it goes back to the
first 0.3-second ring and starts over.
To use
DRD
on your fax machine:
1
Contact your phone company and confirm that the phone company has set up
DRD
service for you. If possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the
phone company has assigned you.

Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern
specifications, or if you otherwise encounter a problem while trying to
use your machine’s
DRD
feature, please try
ALL
of the listed ring
patterns. (If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns,
please call the Muratec Customer Support Center. From the United
States, call 972-364-3350; for the number to call from Canada, check
your in-box documentation).
Important: With your machine set for
DRD
, it won’t respond to any ring pattern
other than the one you selected above. To reset the fax so it will
respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2–4. But in step 3,
toggle it to “Off.” Your fax will now respond normally.
Call request
Wondering why your monitor speaker’s activation key is called
MONITOR
/
CALL
?
Now, we will explain the
CALL
part of the name. It may be hard to believe, but you
actually can send or receive a fax message and have a regular phone conversation
on the same call (although, obviously, not at the same time). This is called a call
request. It does not matter whether you are sending the fax or receiving it. You may
fax first and then talk, or talk first and then fax.
Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar
call-request capability.
Faxing/receiving first, then talking
To send or receive a fax first and then talk:
1
While your fax machine is sending or receiving the fax, press
MONITOR
/
CALL
.

At the remote fax machine, the ringer will ring after that machine receives
each page.
