11 RING RESPONSE

This function controls how long your fax machine waits

before answering an incoming telephone call. The

available settings are 1 RING (default), 5 SECONDS, 10

SECONDS, 15 SECONDS, or 20 SECONDS.

At the default 1-ring setting, your fax machine answers

calls immediately, and you will not hear any ring. If you

need to hear the ring, change to one of the other

settings.

12 DISTINCTIVE RING

Some telephone carriers offer a service called Distinctive

Ring. Distinctive Ring lets you have different numbers on

one line, each with its own distinctive ring. You can then

use one number exclusively as a fax number without the

expense of a second line. (Your local telephone carrier can

provide you with more information about this service,

which usually has an additional charge.) To use this

function, refer to Setting Distinctive Ring below.

Available settings are OFF (default) and ON.

You must have your local telephone carrier’s Distinctive

Ring service.

Your fax machine must be in FAX or PC answer mode,

and the PBX dial parameter must be set to OFF. Other

modes—TEL, TEL/FAX, or TAD—will override

Distinctive Ring.

This feature may not work properly if you have a

telephone other than a genuine Oki optional handset

connected to your fax machine.
