VERY IMPORTANT If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the FAX/MFC in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring Feature. Here's why: MANUAL mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is «Neutral». When the FAX/MFC is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive Ring Feature can be activated. The distinctive ring feature is actually an answering mode. So, do not activate FAX ONLY mode or FAX/TEL mode while using distinctive ring; otherwise, the fax machine will answer calls for all the numbers. Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern 1 Set the FAX/MFC to MANUAL mode. 2 Press Menu/Set, 2, 0, 1. 1.DISTINCTIVE 3 Press or to select DISTINCTIVE:SET?, and then press Menu/Set. 4 Press or to select the prestored ring pattern you want to assign, and then press Menu/Set.
