DRD Reception
This reception mode utilizes the Distinctive Ring Pattern service available through some telephone companies. With
this service, you can use two or more fax numbers on a single telephone line. Thus, you can use this fax and a
telephone on the same line, and you can still designate a different fax number for each of them. As each number is
given a different ring pattern, the machine is able to differentiate between incoming calls. If one of these numbers is
designated for the machine, and a desired ring pattern is designated for that number in advance, fax reception will be
initiated automatically whenever the machine detects the ring pattern distinctive to the fax.
NOTE: Using DRD Reception to receive a telephone call is only possible if a separately purchased telephone is
connected to the machine. DRD reception is only possible if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern service
provided by your telephone company. Contact your telephone company for further information on the Distinctive
Ring Pattern service available.
