Phone line services

Your machine supports the Caller ID
subscriber telephone service that some
telephone companies offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one phone line may create
problems with the operation of your machine.

Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that
you will install your new machine on, there is
a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the
machine will conflict with each other while
receiving incoming calls. However, the
Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use
more than one number on your line, so
both Voice Mail and the machine can work
together without any problems. If each one
has a separete phone number, neither will
interfere with the other's operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring
service from the telephone company, you will
need to follow the directions. (See page 38.)

that helps users distinguish voice and
facsimile calls. With FaxStream
incoming calls to a fax number are
announced by a different, distinctive ring
signal. Only one call can be answered (or
made) at any one time and while this call is in
progress, incoming calls to either number will
be presented with a busy tone.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function,
allowing you to dedicate one phone number
just for receiving faxes.
Note
After you have set the Distinctive Ring
feature to On, the receive mode is set to
Manual automatically. If you don't have a
TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive
Ring number, Manual mode means you
must answer all the voice calls yourself.
You can not change the receive mode
from Manual mode while the Distinctive
Ring is set to on.
