(including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner and drum) or damage
caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage
caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a
Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable
items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the MFC/Facsimile machine in excess
of the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed
abuse and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In

For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your
print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty.
(Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)

Introduction
Using This Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine (FAX). This fax machine has been
designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through
functions. However, you can use your fax machine to its fullest potential by taking a
few minutes to read this manual.
Additionally, your fax machine has a Help Key. Press Copy/Help and then press
Start to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.
Finding Information
All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be
able to find information about a specific feature or function by checking the Index at
the back of this manual. Also, throughout this manual, you’ll see special symbols
alerting you to important information, cross-references, and warnings. Illustrations of
some screen displays also help you choose the correct key-presses.
About Fax Machines
If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious.
You’ll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send
and receive faxes easily.

Fax Tones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones (CNG
tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial
and press Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing. During that time,
the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each
time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the
phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a
phone on your fax line, so you know if you are receiving a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping sounds. A
receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays
RECEIVE. If your fax machine is set to the FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer every
call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax
machine continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues
to display “RECEIVE.” To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop.
When your fax machine answers in FAX/TEL Mode, the fax machine listens for CNG
tones and then responds with receiving tones.
The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the
receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the
machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake
cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 40
seconds after the number is dialed. Therefore, it’s important for the receiving machine
to answer the call in as few rings as possible.
When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line, your
TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special
attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD to your fax
machine.
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to check the integrity
of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are possible only
between machines that both have the ECM feature. If they do, you may send and
receive fax messages that are continuously checked for their integrity.
Sufficient memory must be available in your fax machine for this feature to work.

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the
product against lightning storms.

Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed
for a wet location.
Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.

6
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
7
8
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the
equipment and should be easily accessible.
Choosing a Location
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is
free of vibration and shocks. Locate the fax machine near a telephone jack and a
standard, grounded power outlet.
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air
conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the fax machine to
direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect your machine to
electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of
power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your machine
to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that
might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the
base units of cordless phones.

potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone line by keeping the power
to your machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. When you want to move
your machine, protect yourself by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the
power cord.
■ Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a
quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on the telephone line,
or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.

Special Line Considerations
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or
“rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your fax machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in the
sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the fax machine on any of the other
numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call
is transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your fax machine will work
best on a dedicated line.
Two-Line Phone System
A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on the
same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined
into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four wires (black, red,
green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two-line phone and see if it can access
both lines. If it can, you must separate the line for your machine.
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. The first two ways may require
assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one
RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave
or jump one of the phone numbers to it.
The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into
an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and
a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your Brother machine is on Line 1, plug the
machine into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of
the triplex adapter.

Installing Brother Machine, External Two-Line TAD, and Two-Line
Telephone
When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and
a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack
and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the Brother machine on Line
2, which is our assumption in the following steps. The back of the two-line TAD must
have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will
need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two
for your external two-line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line
telephone.
1
2
Place the two-line TAD and two-line telephone next to your Brother machine.
Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex
adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine.
3
4
Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.
Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the
two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on the back of the machine.

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways
to add a two-line telephone to the fax machine’s wall outlet. You can plug the
telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex
adapter. Or, you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line
TAD.

Multi-Line Connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to
connect the fax machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we
suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask
them to connect the fax machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the
fax machine. You can then leave the fax machine in FAX ONLY Mode to receive
faxes any time of day or night.
If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to
connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit from being
activated each time a telephone call is received. (See Easy Receive, page 5-3.)
As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If your
line has more than two wires, proper connection of the fax machine cannot be made.
If you are installing the fax machine to work with a PBX:
1
2
3
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances with a
PBX.
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended
that the Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be
regarded as telephone calls.
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone service.

Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device
(TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have an
external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD answers all
calls. The fax machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the fax
machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the fax
machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can
leave you a voice message.
The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is two rings). The
fax machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with
four rings there are only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.”
Make sure you carefully follow instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing
message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external
answering machine if it exceeds 4 rings.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your fax machine and
TAD will both try to control the line.

Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the back of the fax machine, into the jack
labeled EXT. Your fax machine cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall
jack.

Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back of the fax machine, in the
jack labeled LINE.
Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the back of the fax machine, in the
jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s
telephone line jack (not to telephone set jack).)

Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The fax machine’s Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)

Record the outgoing message (see below).
Set the TAD to answer calls.
Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH.
Outgoing Message (OGM)
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle
both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your fax
machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they
stop.)
2
3
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending
manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 5 1 and Start.”
Connecting an External Telephone
Your fax machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone.
However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device)
directly to your fax machine.
Connect the modular plug on the telephone’s line cord to the jack labeled EXT. on the
back of the fax machine.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and,
if the fax machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect the call and switch
to the fax machine, press Hook.

On-Screen Programming
User-Friendly Programming
We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming and a Help key.
User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions your fax
machine has to offer. (See Using This Manual, page 1-1.)
Since your fax programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen
prompts to help you program your fax machine. All you need to do is follow the
prompts as they guide you through the function menu selections and programming
options and settings.
Function Mode
You can access the function mode by pressing Function/Set. When you enter the
function mode, your fax machine displays a list of main menu options from which you
can choose. These options appear one after the other on the display. Select an option
by pressing Function/Set when the option appears on the screen.
You can “scroll” more quickly through options by pressing
. When the screen
displays your selection, press Function/Set. (Press to scroll backward if you
passed your choice or to save key strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the
opposite order.)
Before you press Function/Set after entering information in a field using the dial
pad, you can correct a mistake. Use
characters.

When you finish a function, the screen displays ACCEPTED.
If you want to exit the Function mode, press Stop.
Alternating Displays
When you see alternating displays, the LCD sometimes alternates between the
currently selected option, and a help message giving brief instructions about how to
proceed. The display you’ll probably see most often is shown below, showing you,
when you place an original in the ADF, that you can dial a number and send a fax, or
you can make a copy.

Basic Receiving Operations
Select Answer Mode
begin receiving the fax, then hang up. You can use this mode with Distinctive Ringing.
(See Distinctive Ring, page 8-1.)
FAX ONLY—The fax machine automatically answers every call as a fax call. You
cannot receive a voice call, but you can dial out and make a voice call.
FAX/TEL—The fax machine automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax, it
prints the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with a double ring (ring-ring),
different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you select
this setting, you’ll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the
following pages). If you have extension phones on the same line as the fax machine,
set Ring Delay to 4. (See For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5.)
TAD—This is the only setting in which you can use an external answering machine.
Your telephone answering device is connected to your FAX, and answers every call.
Once the TAD answers, the FAX listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, it prints
the fax.
The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD); it
does not work with telephone company voice mail. Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time
do not work in this setting.

Setting F/T Ring Time
You need to determine how long the fax machine will notify you with its special
double ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing
from the phone company. Only the fax machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds;
no other phones on the same line ring the special double ring. However, you can
answer the call on any phone on the same line as the fax machine.

Press Stop to exit.
Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to FAX/TEL Mode, all phones on
this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.
You can let the fax machine pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a fax
call, the machine prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the machine signals you with a
double ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.
Even if the caller hangs up during the double ringing, the fax machine continues for
the set time.
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you answer a fax call
and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When you see
RECEIVE on the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an
extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your
machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the fax machine to receive fax calls
automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting
SEMI lets the machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the fax machine.
Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the fax machine yourself, by pressing
Start or by pressing 5 1 if you are not at your machine. (See Operation from
External or Extension Telephone and For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5.)
If you’ve set the feature to ON, but your fax machine doesn’t automatically connect a
fax call when you lift an external or extension phone handset, press the Fax Receive
code 5 1. At the fax machine, lift the handset and press Start.

Operation from External or Extension Telephone
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT.
jack, you can make your fax machine take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When
you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the fax machine starts to receive a fax. (See
Easy Receive, page 5-3.)
If the fax machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use the
Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. (See
Setting F/T Ring Time, page 5-3.)
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At the
fax machine phone, press Start, then hang up. At an extension phone, press 5 1,
wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press
5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVE)
before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the fax machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double
ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the fax machine, you can lift the
handset to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and press # 5 1 between the double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone
wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the fax machine by pressing 5 1.
Changing Remote Codes
Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax Receive
Code is 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1.
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try
changing the Fax Receive Code from 5 1 to # # # and the Telephone Answer Code
from # 5 1 to 9 9 9.

Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use your
fax machine to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine.
All parties involved in polling need to set up their fax machines to accommodate
polling. When someone polls your machine to receive a fax, they pay for the call; if
you poll someone’s fax machine to receive a fax, you pay for the call.
(See Canceling a Scheduled Job, page 6-5.)
For details about the Polling function, our fax-back system 1-800-521-2846 (USA),

Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
■ originals must be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches wide, and 5.9 and 23.7 inches long. Your
fax machine can only scan an image 8.2 inches wide, regardless of how wide the paper
is.
■ Make sure you place the original face down, top edge first.
■ Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your original.
Paper Guides
■ The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 10 pages, feeding each one
individually through the fax machine. Use standard (17 lb–24 lb) paper when using the
ADF; if you’re using heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to prevent paper
jams.
DO NOT use curled, wrinkled, folded or ripped paper, or paper with staples, paper
clips, paste or tape attached. DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric.
■ Make sure originals written with ink are completely dry.
You must press Resolution (before you send the fax) to select the resolution for the
type of original you’re sending. (See Resolution, page 6-4.)

advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance carriers as One
Touch and Speed Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by
dividing them and setting them up separately in any combination. You can even
include manual dialing using the dial pad. The combined number will be dialed in the
order you entered it, as soon as you press Start. Make sure you selected CHAIN as
the type of the number when you store it into the One Touch or Speed Dial. (See
Storing One Touch Dial Numbers and Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 7-1 to 7-2.)
The CallManage access code can save you money on long distance calls (for details,
see CallManage, page 8-5). (For USA Only)
For example:
You store “555”on One Touch key 03 and “7000”on One Touch key 02. If you press
One Touch 03, 02 and Start you will dial “555-7000”. To temporarily change a
number, you can substitute part of the number with manual dialing using the dial pad.
For example, to change the number to 555-7001 you can press One Touch 03 and
press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dial pad.
Pause after dialing Speed Dial numbers for the name to be displayed before you enter
the next portion of the dialing sequence.

Telephone Services
Custom Features
Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone services
offered by some telephone companies.
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an answering service or an alarm
system or other custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the
operation of your fax machine.
Distinctive Ring
This fax machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered
by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers
on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ring pattern, so you
know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone
number for your fax machine.
Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes. You’ll need to follow the directions below to
“register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern, that was assigned by the Telephone
Company, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming calls.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it
off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you
reset this function.
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine. Some
ringing patterns cannot be registered.

Caller ID
The Caller ID feature of this fax machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service
offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the screen
displays the telephone number of your caller (or up to 16 characters of the name, if
available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears from
the screen, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
• CALL PICKUP display remains on the screen when no Caller ID information was
transmitted.
• OUT-OF-AREA display means the call originates outside your Caller ID service area.
• PRIVATE CALL display means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of
information.
Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to
determine the kind of service available in your area.
Caller ID Log
Your fax machine stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into the fax machine’s
memory in the Caller ID Log. When the thirty-first call comes in, information about
the first call is erased. You can print the report or scroll through Caller ID information
to review those calls made to your fax machine.

11 Important Information
Standard Telephone and FCC Notices
These notices are in effect on models sold and used in
the United States only.
This equipment is hearing aid and volume control compatible.
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:
■ Before you hang up, briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
■ Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. On the rear panel of this
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon
request, provide this information to your telephone company.
You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone line by means of a standard
modular jack, USOC RJ11C.
An FCC compliant telephone cord with a modular plug is provided with this
equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone line or
premise’s wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. See the
Installation section of this manual for details.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have those devices ring when your telephone number is called.
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line
should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to
your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. If your fax damages
the telephone line, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily.
If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you
will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you
will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
telephone service.
If you experience trouble with this fax machine, please contact a Brother Authorized
Service Center for information on obtaining service or repair. The telephone company
may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the line until the problem has been
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
If you are not able to solve a problem with your fax machine, contact Brother
Customer Service. (See Brother Numbers, page i.)

Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD), page 2-8.)
No Dial Tone on the Handset
Press Hook—OR—Lift the handset. If you don’t hear a dial tone, check
telephone line cord connections at the fax machine and wall jack. Check that the
handset is connected to the fax machine’s handset jack. Test the wall jack with
another single line telephone. If there is no dial tone at the wall outlet, call your
Telephone Company.
The Caller ID does not display after the Call Waiting Signal
The Caller ID signal is sent ten seconds after the Call Waiting Signal and
speaking may interfere with it. When you hear the Call Waiting signal, ask the
other party to hold while you answer the call. Then stop speaking until you see
the Caller ID on the LCD.
Sending Faxes
Poor Transmitting Quality
Try changing your resolution to FINE or SUPERFINE. (See Resolution, page 6-4.)
Make a copy to verify the fax machine’s scanner operation.
Dialing Does Not Work
Check all line cord connections, and make sure the curled handset cord is not in
the EXT jack.
Check power cord connection.
Send a manual fax by pressing Hook—OR—Lifting the handset, and dialing
the number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Start.
Vertical Black Lines When Sending
Use your fax machine to make a copy. If the copy shows the same problem, the
scanner area is dirty. Lift the top cover and check the original path. Clean the
scanner’s white tape and the glass strip under the tape using isopropyl alcohol
and a lint-free cloth (See page 12-7.)

Handling Incoming Calls
Double Ring in FAX/TEL Mode
The fax machine knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signaling you to
answer the telephone call. Pick up the fax machine handset or answer from an
setting is #51). (See For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-5.)
Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine
If you have answered the fax machine handset, press Start, and hang up
immediately.
If you answered at an extension phone, press your three-digit Fax Receive Code
(the factory setting is 51). When your fax machine answers, hang up.
Fax Machine “Hears” Voice as CNG Tone
If your fax machine is set to Easy Receive ON, and it answers voice calls by
trying to receive a fax, try turning Easy Receive to OFF. (See Easy Receive,
page 5-3.)
Transmission Verification Report Prints “Result: NG”
There is probably temporary noise or static on the phone line. Try sending the
fax again. If the problem continues, call the Telephone Company to check your
phone line.
Custom Features on a Single Line
If you have Call Waiting, Caller ID, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Ring Master, Voice
Mail, an answering machine, alarm system or any other custom feature on a
single phone line with your fax machine, it may create a problem sending or
receiving fax data.
Example #1:
If you are having a telephone conversation and a fax communication
signal comes through on your Call Waiting Caller ID feature, you can
verify that the second call is a fax by switching to it. You have the option
to receive the fax call, by asking the first caller to hang up to clear the line.
Example #2:
If you are sending or receiving a fax message while a Call Waiting Caller
ID (or other custom feature) signal comes through on the line, the signal
can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the fax data. Brother’s ECM feature
should help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the
telephone system industry, and is common to all devices that send and
receive information on a single, shared line with custom features. If
avoiding a slight interruption is crucial to your business, a separate line
with no custom features is recommended.
