Note:
• Distinctive ring service allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. Each
number is assigned a different ring pattern. You can use one number for voice calls and another
for fax calls. Select the ring pattern assigned to fax calls in the DRD Setting.
• If you select On or one of the ring patterns other than All, Receive Mode is automatically set to
Auto.
10. On the Receive Mode Setting screen, select Yes if you have connected an external telephone or
answering machine to the product, and then go to the next step. Otherwise select No, then go to
step 12. (Receive Mode is automatically set to Auto.)
Note: When no external telephone is connected to the product, Receive Mode must be set to Auto;
otherwise you cannot receive faxes.
11. On the next Receive Mode Setting screen, select Yes to receive faxes automatically or select No to
receive faxes manually.
Note: If you have connected an external answering machine and selected to receive faxes
automatically, make sure the Rings to Answer setting is correct. If you select to receive faxes
manually, you need to answer every call and use the product's control panel or your phone to
receive faxes.
12. On the Confirm Settings screen, confirm the displayed settings and select Proceed. (Press the
back button if you need to correct or change the settings.)
13. On the Confirmation screen, select Start to check the fax connection and print a report of the check
result. If there are any errors reported, try the solutions on the report, and run the check again.
Note:
• If the Select Line Type screen is displayed, select the correct line type.
• If the Select Dial Tone Detection screen is displayed, select Disable. However, disabling the dial
tone detection function may drop the first digit of a fax number and send the fax to the wrong
number.
