Note:
- Distinctive ring service allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. Each number is assigned a different ring pattern. You can use one number for voice calls and another for fax calls. Select the ring pattern assigned to fax calls in the DRD Setting.
- If you select On or one of the ring patterns other than All, Receive Mode is automatically set to Auto.
On the Receive Mode Setting screen, select Yes if you have connected an external telephone or answering machine to the product, and then go to the next step. Otherwise select No, then go to step 12. (Receive Mode is automatically set to Auto.)

On the next Receive Mode Setting screen, select Yes to receive faxes automatically or select No to receive faxes manually.
Note: If you have connected an external answering machine and selected to receive faxes automatically, make sure the Rings to Answer setting is correct. If you select to receive faxes manually, you need to answer every call and use the product’s control panel or your phone to receive faxes.
