FAX
• In DRPD mode, you can receive a call using the Distinctive Ring
Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature. “Distinctive Ring” is a
telephone company service which enables a user to use a single
telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers.
This mode is displayed when you have set up the distinctive ring
pattern. For details on this feature, see page page 5.44.
The current reception mode is displayed when your product is in
Standby mode.
If you seldom use the fax line for voice conversations, set your
product to receive a fax automatically by selecting the FAX mode.
Loading Paper for Receiving Faxes
The instructions for loading paper in the paper bin are the same
whether you are printing, faxing, or copying, except that faxes can
only be printed on letter-, A4-, or legal-sized paper. See “Loading
Paper” on page page 1.11 for instructions.
After loading paper for receiving faxes, set the paper size to the
size of paper you normally load in the paper bin. Your product uses
this setting when printing reports and determining auto reduction
for incoming faxes. See page page 5.42 to set the paper size.
NOTE:
The FAX PAPER SIZE setting does not affect the printing
from PC. If you are loading special-sized media only for your current
print job, do not change this setting. After you have finished printing,
just reload the original paper for fax printing.
