How DRPD responds to calls ___________________
When there is an incoming call, the FAXPHONE checks the incoming ring pattern and
determines the type of pattern being received. The FAXPHONE may require up to 10
seconds to determine the pattern type, and during this time the FAXPHONE does not
ring. After the pattern is detected, the FAXPHONE reacts according to how you regis-
tered the setting.

Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature ______________
Using the FAXPHONE with a DRP service is almost the same as using it with a
normal telephone line. When you receive calls, however, the FAXPHONE responds
somewhat differently, as described below.
The DRP service is commonly used with automatic receiving only.
■ FAXPHONE set to Fax Only Mode
(“Fax/Only” displayed on the LCD)
When the FAXPHONE is set for automatic receiving, the FAXPHONE operates ac-
cording to the mode set for the registered setting (TEL, FAX, or FAX/TEL SWITCH).
If FAX/TEL SWITCH is set, the difference between incoming telephone calls and fax
transmissions will be detected.
❚ When someone calls using the number assigned for telephone communication, the
FAXPHONE rings in the pattern you registered in the above procedure. When you
hear the telephone call ring pattern, simply pick up the extension phone connected
to the FAXPHONE and talk. If you do not pick it up, the FAXPHONE continues to
ring until the other party hangs up.
❚ When someone sends a fax using the number assigned for fax communication, the
FAXPHONE does not ring. It receives the document automatically.
