H©lpful Hints If You Do Not Have a Distinctive Ringing Service...
Your phone carrier can give you more information about it. If you are not
currently using a distinctive ringing service, don’t try to set up your
distinctive ring feature. It may cause your machine to malfunction. If
your phone carrier provides this service and you decide to use it, it’s a good idea
to use one of the new numbers you receive for your fax number and keep the old
number for it’s original purpose. Remember to tell your customers and
colleagues your new fax number.
If You Already Have a Distinctive Ringing Service...
It is a good idea to register the ring pattern of your existing dedicated fax
number. Use the registration mode under the distinctive ringing function. You
will not be able to use the fax machine’s distinctive ringing feature until this
pattern has been registered. (See this page.)
Setting the Distinctive Ringing Function
If you currently have a distinctive ringing service (a telephone ser\nce that provides you with
multiple numbers, each with a distinctive ring, on one line), you can register any one of the ring
patterns of your line with your fax machine so that it can immediately identify a call as an
incoming fax by the distinctive ring pattern it uses. You also will need to arrange to have someone
call your fax machine to do this.
You may have difficulty registering a distinctive ring pattern if your fax machine is
connected to a telephone answering device. Disconnect it before you set this function.
