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

line, so both Voice Mail and the FAX/MFC can coexist peacefully. If each 
one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s work.
If you...

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...
