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 le
arn 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 insta
lled 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) on the control panel.
2. Press
Menu until Fax Setup appears.
3. Press the
left/right arrow until DRPD Mode appears and press OK.
Waiting Ring appea
rs on the display.
4. Call your fa
x number from another telephone. It is not necessary to place the call from a fax machine.
5. Wh
en your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The machine requires several rings to learn the pattern.
When the machine completes learning, the display shows End
DRPD [Setup]. If the DRPD setup fails, DRPD Ring
Error appears.
Press OK when DRPD appears and start over from step 3.
• DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or connect the machine to another telephone
line.
• After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the machine answers with a fax tone.
Then have a call placed to a different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is forwarded to
the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT socket.

Receiving faxes in memory
Since your machine is a multi-tasking device, it can receive faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a
fax while you are copying or printing, your machine stores incoming faxes in its memory. Then, as soon as you finish
copying or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax.
