PABX (PBX) and TRANSFER
The machine is initially set to Normal, which lets the
machine connect to a standard PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network) line. However, many
offices use a central telephone system or Private
Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX). Your machine
can be connected to most types of PABX (PBX). The
machine’s recall feature supports timed break recall
only (TBR). TBR will work with most PABX (PBX)
systems allowing you to gain access to an outside
line, or transfer calls to another extension. The
feature works when Tel/R is pressed.
Note
You can program a Tel/R key press as part of a
number stored in a One-Touch or Speed-Dial
location. When programming the One-Touch or
Speed-Dial number (Menu, 2, 3, 1 or 2, 3, 2) press
Tel/R first (the screen displays “!”), then enter the
telephone number. If you do this, you do not need
to press Tel/R each time before you dial using a
One-Touch or Speed-Dial location. (See “Storing
numbers” in Chapter 8 of the User’s Guide.)
However, if PBX is not selected in the Phone Line
Type setting, you cannot use the One-Touch or
Speed-Dial number that Tel/R press is
programmed into.

To achieve optimum results with normal every day
document printing, place the Brother machine as
close to the network access point (router) as possible
with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls
between the two devices as well as interference from
other electronic devices can affect the data transfer
speed of your documents.
