You can receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the 
extension telephone without going to the fax machine.

When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax 
tones, press the keys 

 on the extension telephone. The 

machine receives the document.

Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax 
tone from the remote machine, try pressing

and the last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle

“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables 
a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different 
telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call 
you on is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist 
of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This 
feature is often used by answering services who answer 
telephones for many different clients and need to know which 
number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.

Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax 
machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be 
answered by the FAX machine. Unless you change it, this ringing 
pattern will continue to be recognised and answered as a FAX 
call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the 
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the 
EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring 
Pattern Detection at any time.

Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, 
Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line 
by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern 
Detection, you will need another telephone line at your location, 
or someone available to dial your FAX number from outside.
