Distinctive Ring (Requires Subscription to
Service)
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your telephone company, you
will need to turn on the distinctive ring function. When this is done, your fax
will signal voice calls by the normal ring pattern, and fax transmissions by a
special ring pattern. In the case of a fax transmission, your fax machine will
automatically answer the call and receive the fax.
The distinctive ring function is used with the reception mode set to AUTO.
When your fax number is dialled, your fax machine will signal the call with a
special ringing sound, then answer automatically and begin reception after the
number of rings set with the NUMBER OF RINGS AUTO RECEPTION setting
(the initial setting is 2 rings—refer to page 100). When your voice number is
dialled, the fax machine will signal the call with the normal ringing sound to let
you know that you must answer on a telephone connected to the same line.
The initial setting for distinctive ring is NO. If set to YES, both Australian (Fax
Duet) and New Zealand (FaxAbility) distinctive ring are supported.
Important:
The distinctive ring function can only be used if you subscribe to a distinctive
ring service from your telephone company. Do not turn on distinctive ring if
you are on a normal line, as the fax machine will not operate properly.
