Receiving faxes using DRPD mode
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
machine can learn the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the
fax machine. 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 machine 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 your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up DRPD, you
will need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to
dial your fax number from outside.
To set up the DRPD mode:
1 Press Fax.
2 Press Menu until Fax Setup appears on the bottom line of the
display and press
OK
.
3 Press the Scroll buttons until Receiving appears and press
OK
.
4 Press the Scroll buttons until DRPD Mode appears and press

Notes
• If you have set your machine to Ans/Fax mode and your
answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is
connected to EXT socket, your machine automatically goes
into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.
• If your answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter,
set the machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
• If you are in Tel mode (manual reception) when the answering
machine is connected to your machine, you must switch off the
answering machine, or the outgoing message from the
answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation.
