Distinctive ring
Océ uses the term 'Distinctive Ring' but
different telephone companies have other
names for this service such as Custom
Ringing, Personalized Ring, RingMaster,
Smart Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Call,
Data Ident-A-Call, Ident-A-Ring, SimpleBiz

What does your telephone company's
'Distinctive Ring' do?
Your telephone company's Distinctive Ring
service allows you to have more than one
number on the same telephone line. If you
need more than one telephone number, it
is cheaper than paying for an extra line.
Each telephone number has its own
distinctive ring pattern, so you will know
which telephone number is ringing. This is
one way you can have a separate telephone
number for your machine.
Note
Please call your telephone company for
availability and rates.
What does Océ's 'distinctive ring' do?
The cx2100 has a Distinctive Ring feature
that allows you to use your machine to take
full advantage of the telephone company's
Distinctive Ring service. The new telephone
number on your line can just receive faxes.
Note
You must pay for your telephone
company's Distinctive Ring service before
you program the machine to work with it.

Do you have voice mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the telephone 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 separate telephone 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 below to
'register' the new Distinctive Ring pattern
they give you. This is so your machine can
recognize its incoming calls.
Note
You can change or cancel the Distinctive
Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it
off temporarily, and turn it back on later.
When you get a new fax number, make
sure you reset this feature.
