About Reception Modes
Your machine has five reception modes as described below:
• FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and
immediately goes into receive mode.
• AUTO mode, the machine answers the incoming call. If a
fax signal is not detected, the WorkCentre Pro 580 sounds
a ringing tone to indicate a voice phone call. If the handset
or external phone is not lifted while the ringing tone is
sounding, the machine will switch to automatic fax
reception mode.
• To use the ANS/FAX mode, you have to attach an
answering machine to the EXT.LINE jack on your fax
machine. If the WorkCentre Pro 580 senses a fax tone, it
automatically switches to fax reception mode. However, if a
fax is not sensed, the WorkCentre Pro 580 routes the call to
the answering machine, and the caller can leave a
message.
• In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. You
can only receive a fax by manually picking up the handset
or external phone and pressing
the Start/Enter button
to
receive the fax.
• DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection)
“
Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which
enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer
several different telephone numbers. The number used to
call a phone with this feature is identified by a distinctive
ringing pattern consisting of various combinations of long
and short ringing tones. This feature is often used by
answering services that answer telephones for many
different clients and need to know which number is being
called by the ringing pattern of the phone.
