• Setting the DRPD Ring Pattern (US and Canada only)
If you subscribe to a Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection service with your telephone company,
your telephone company will assign two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns
to your single telephone line, allowing you to have different numbers for fax calls and voice calls
using only one telephone line. Your machine will automatically monitor incoming calls based on
the ring pattern, and will automatically receive the fax if the call is a fax call.
To use DRPD, follow the procedure below to set the fax ring pattern that matches the pattern
assigned by your telephone company.
