Beyond the basics

2.34

In order that you may use OneLine +

DRD

, your phone company must set up

your distinctive ring service. When it does, it will assign a

ring pattern

, expressed in time.

For example, the standard telephone ring is 2 seconds “on” (ringing) and 4 seconds “off”

(silent), after which it repeats itself (hence the term,

ring pattern

Some telephone companies provide only a very general description — for example, “short-

short-long” — of their

DRD

ring patterns. Fortunately, however, your machine has eight

possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine +

DRD

; one of them should work with

your phone company’s

DRD

service.

This chart lists the patterns:

Pattern One complete ring pattern (seconds)

0.8 on, 0.4 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off

0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off

0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off, 0.3 on, 4.0 off

1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 off

0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off

0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.0 off

0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off

1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off

For example: pattern

is 0.3 seconds ringing, 0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing, 0.2

seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent; then it goes back to the first 0.3

seconds ring and starts over.

To use

DRD

on your fax machine:

Contact your phone company and confirm that the phone company has set up

DRD

service for you. If possible, also find out which distinctive ring pattern the phone

company has assigned you.

If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

If it is in Copy mode, press

COPY

FA X

to change to Fax mode.

Press

PROGRAM

ENTER

. The display will show:

DRD: Off

Program/Enter

If you see the setting you wish, skip to step 5.

Otherwise, proceed to step 4.

To change the setting, press

PROGRAM

once or twice until your desired choice

appears. Here, we’ve chosen

DRD: On

Program/Enter

Press

ENTER

Ring Pattern: A

Program/Enter

If “

” is the pattern you want, skip to step 7.

If not, proceed to step 6.

Press

PROGRAM

repeatedly until your desired pattern appears (in our example

here, “

”):

Ring Pattern: C

Program/Enter

Press

ENTER

to set your machine to the displayed ring pattern.

Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern

specifications,

if you otherwise encounter a problem while trying to use

your machine’s

DRD

feature,

please try

ALL

of the listed ring patterns

. (If

you still have a problem after trying

all

of the patterns, please call the

Muratec Customer Support Center (from the United States, call [972] 364-

3350; for the number to call from Canada, check your in-box

documentation).

Important: With your machine set for using

DRD

, it won’t respond to any ring pattern

other than the one you’ve selected, above. To reset the fax

so it will respond once again to normal rings, repeat steps 2-5,

above —

except

, in step 4, toggle it to

“Off.”

Your fax now will respond

normally.

Call request

Wondering why your monitor speaker’s activation key is called

MONITOR

CALL

? Now, we’ll

explain the

CALL

part of the name. It may be hard to believe, but you actually can send or

receive a fax message

and

have a regular phone conversation

on the same call

(although,

obviously, not at the same time). This is called a

call request

. It doesn’t matter whether

you’re sending the fax or receiving it. You may fax first and then talk, or talk first and then

fax.

Important: For this feature to work, the remote fax machine must have a similar call-

request capability. Also, of course, your machine must have an optional

handset attached.
