Phone line services 7
Your machine supports the Caller ID
subscriber telephone service that some
telephone companies offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one phone line may create
problems with the operation of your machine.
Do you have Voice Mail? 7
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that
you will install your new MFC on, there is a
strong possibility that Voice Mail and the MFC
will conflict with each other while receiving
incoming calls. However, the Distinctive
Ring feature allows you to use more than
one number on your line, so both Voice
Mail and the MFC can work together
without any problems. If each one has a
separete phone number, neither will interfere
with the other’s operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring
service from the telephone company, you will
need to follow the directions on next page to
‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern
they give you. This is so your MFC can
recognize its incoming calls.

incoming calls to a fax number are
announced by a different, distinctive ring
signal. Only one call can be answered (or
made) at any one time and while this call is in
progress, incoming calls to either number will
be presented with a busy tone.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes.
Note
After you have set the Distinctive Ring
feature to On, the receive mode is set to
Manual automatically. If you don’t have a
TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive
Ring number, Manual mode means you
must answer all the calls yourself. You can
not change the receive mode from
Manual mode while the Distinctive Ring is
set to on.
