DISTINCTIVE RINGING
Distinctive ringing is a service offered by some telephone companies that allows you to use up to six different
telephone numbers, each with a distinctive ringing pattern, on your regular single line. If you subscribe to a
distinctive ringing service, you can set your fax to automatically answer when it detects one of these ringing patterns,
and use the number corresponding to that pattern as an exclusive fax number.
Important:
● To use distinctive ringing, you must subscribe to your phone company's distinctive ringing service. Do not use this
setting if you do not subscribe to a distinctive ringing service.
When using this feature, you must set the reception mode of your machine to AUTO (See "SELECTING THE
RECEPTION MODE" (p.27)). When your designated fax number is dialed, the machine will automatically answer
and begin reception. Note that other devices you have connected on the same line will also ring until the machine
answers. If one of your other numbers is dialed, the machine will neither ring nor answer.
Distinctive ring is for the reception of FAX Messages. In this case, your fax will answer and begin receiving a fax
transmission after the number of rings set with "20:DISTINCTIVE RING". Initially, this program is set to "OFF".
