Register the Distinctive Ring Pattern

This feature is available only in the USA and Canada.

After you set the Distinctive Ring feature to [On], your Distinctive Ring number will receive faxes automatically. The receive mode is automatically set to [Manual] and you cannot change it to another receive mode while Distinctive Ring is set to [On]. This ensures the machine will only answer the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere when your main telephone number is called.

When Distinctive Ring is on, the LCD displays [D/R] as the Receive Mode.

  1. Press image [Settings]>[All Settings]>[Fax]>[Miscellaneous]>[Distinctive].
