To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT socket

automatically starts to receive the fax.
Receiving faxes using DRPD mode
Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables an user to
use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers.
The particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different
ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short
ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who
answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which
number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature, your fax
machine can learn the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the fax
machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be
recognized and answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be
forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into
the EXT socket. You can easily suspend or change DRPD at any time.
Before using the DRPD option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on
your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up DRPD, you will
need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial
your fax number from outside.

Receiving in secure receiving mode
You may need to prevent your received faxes from being accessed by

receiving mode, all incoming faxes go into memory. When the mode is
deactivated, any stored faxes are printed.

If you have set your machine to
Ans/Fax
mode and your
answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is
connected to EXT socket, your machine automatically goes into
Fax
mode after a predefined number of rings.
•
If your answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set
the machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
•
If you are in
Tel
mode (manual reception) when the answering
machine is connected to your machine, you must switch off the
answering machine, or the outgoing message from the answering
machine will interrupt your phone conversation.

DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or
connect the machine to another telephone line.
•
After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify
that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call placed
to a different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call
is forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine
plugged into the EXT socket.
