If an incoming call is not a fax, the printer beeps from the 
internal speaker indicating that the call is a telephone call. 
• Ans Machine/Fax: The printer can share a telephone line with 
an answering machine. In this mode, the printer will monitor 
the fax signal and pick up the line if there are fax tones. If the 
phone communication is using serial transmission in your

Belgium, Italy, France and Switzerland), this mode is not 
supported.
• DRPD: Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection 
(DRPD) option, distinctive ring service must be installed on 
your telephone line by the telephone company. After the 
telephone company has provided a separate number for faxing 
with a distinctive ring pattern, configure the fax setup to 
monitor for that specific ring pattern.
