Section 5 Other Features of this Fax

This reception mode utilizes the Distinctive Ring Pattern service available from some telephone companies. With this service, you can use two
or more telephone numbers on a single telephone line. Thus, you can use this fax and a telephone on the same line, but you can still designate
a different telephone number for each of them. As each number is given a different ring pattern, the fax machine is able to differentiate
between incoming calls. If one of these numbers is designated for this fax machine, and the desired ring pattern is designated for that number
in advance, fax reception will be initiated automatically whenever the machine detects the ring pattern distinctive to the fax.
* Using D.R.D. Reception to receive a telephone call is only possible if a separately purchased telephone is connected to this fax machine.
* D.R.D. reception is only possible if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern service provided by your telephone company. Contact your
telephone company for further information on the Distinctive Ring Pattern service available.
