Your FAX/MFC supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone services 
offered by some telephone companies.

This FAX/MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered by 
some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on 
one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ring pattern, so you know 
which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone 
number for your FAX/MFC.

Your FAX/MFC has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone 
number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the directions below to 
“register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern, that was assigned by the Telephone 
Company, so your FAX/MFC can recognize its incoming calls.

■ The FAX/MFC will answer only calls to its registered number.

■ To have your TAD answer only the main number, the FAX/MFC must be in Manual 

Mode.

■ In FAX/TEL or FAX ONLY mode, the FAX/MFC will answer all numbers on the 

phone line.

Set the FAX/MFC to MANUAL mode.

If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service or an alarm 
system or other custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the 
operation of your FAX/MFC.

You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it 
off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you 
reset this function.

You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the FAX/MFC. Some ringing 
patterns cannot be registered.
