Using Caller ID

Caller ID is a service provided by some telephone companies that identifies the telephone number (and possibly the
name) of the person who is calling. If you subscribe to this service, it works with the printer. When you receive a fax,
the telephone number of the person who is sending you the fax appears on the display.
Note: Caller ID is available only in some countries and regions.
The printer supports two distinct Caller ID patterns: Pattern 1 (FSK) and Pattern 2 (DTMF). Depending on the country
or region you live in and the telecommunications company you subscribe to, you may need to switch the pattern to
display Caller ID information.
