• that is extremely smooth or shiny  
• that is curled or warped  
• that is coated or has a chemical finish  
• that is damaged, creased or folded

specification in this guide  
• with tabs and staples  
• with letterheads using low temperature  
dyes or thermography

Choose the Correct Receive Mode  
Related Models:  
MFC-L2680W/MFC-L2700DW/MFC-L2705DW  
The correct Receive Mode for you is determined by the external devices and telephone  
subscriber services (Voice Mail, Distinctive Ring and so on) you will be using on the same line as  
the Brother machine.  
Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?  
Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but different telephone companies may have other  
names for this service such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring,  
Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate  
Number Ringing. See Related Information: Distinctive Ring  
Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?  
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong  
possibility that Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving  
incoming calls. See Related Information: Voice Mail  
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your  
Brother machine?  
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will answer every call automatically. Voice  
messages are stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Select External TAD  
Mode as your receive mode. See Related Information: Connection of an External Telephone  
Answering Device (TAD)  
Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?  
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Select Fax Only Mode as your  
receive mode. See Related Information: Receive Modes  
Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?  
Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?  
The Fax/Tel Mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the  
same line. Select Fax/Tel Mode as your receive mode. See Related Information: Receive  
Modes  
Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an  
answering machine if you selected the Fax/Tel Mode.  
Do you expect to receive very few faxes?  
Choose Manual Mode as your receive mode. You control the telephone line and must

When you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel

automatically receive it. However, if it is a  
voice call, the machine will sound the F/T ring  
(pseudo/double-ring) for the time you set in  
the F/T Ring Time option. When you hear the  
F/T ring, it means that a voice caller is on the  
line.  
When somebody calls your machine, you will  
hear the normal telephone ring sound. The  
number of rings is set in the Ring Delay  
option.  
• The Ring Delay setting sets the number  
of times the machine rings before it  
answers in the Fax Only Mode and the

• The F/T Ring Time feature works when  
you set Fax/Tel Mode as the Receive  
Mode.  
• If you have external or extension  
telephones on the same line as the  
machine, keep the Ring Delay setting  
of 4.  
Because the F/T ring is made by the machine,  
extension and external telephones will not  
ring; however, you can still answer the call on

If you have voice mail service and your  
Brother machine on the same line, they will  
conflict with one another when receiving  
incoming calls. If you want the Brother  
machine to share a single line with your voice  
mail, you must either put the Brother  
machine's in Manual Mode or subscribe to  
your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring  
service.  
VoIP is a phone system that uses an Internet  
connection instead of a traditional telephone  
line. Telephone providers frequently bundle  
VoIP with Internet and cable services. Your  
Brother machine may not work with some  
VoIP systems. For more information, contact  
your VoIP provider.

Troubleshooting for Other Fax Problems  
Related Models:  
MFC-L2680W/MFC-L2700DW/MFC-L2705DW  
Difficulties  
Suggestions  
Cannot send a fax.  
Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is  
plugged into the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine.  
If you subscribe to DSL, VoIP or MagicJack services, call your service  
provider for connection instructions.  
Make sure you pressed Fax and the machine is in Fax mode.  
Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error.  
Contact your administrator to check your Secure Function Lock  
Settings.  
Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper.  
Cannot receive a fax. Make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing Hook. If you hear  
static or interference on your fax line, contact your local telephone  
company.  
If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TAD  
mode) on the same line as the Brother machine, make sure your  
answering machine is set up correctly.  
1. Plug the telephone line cord directly from the wall telephone jack to  
your Brother machine’s LINE jack.  
2. Remove the protective cap from your Brother machine’s EXT jack,  
and then plug the telephone line cord from your answering machine  
into the EXT jack.  
3. Set your answering machine to answer within four rings.  
If you are having problems receiving faxes or voice messages, set  
your answering machine to answer within two or three rings.  
4. Record the outgoing message on your answering machine.  
• Record five seconds of silence at the beginning of your outgoing  
message.  
• Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.  
• End your outgoing message with your Fax Receive Code for  
people sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep,  
leave a message or press *51 and Start to send a fax.”  
5. Set your answering machine to answer calls.  
6. Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to External TAD.  
Make sure your Brother machine’s Easy Receive feature is turned On.  
Easy Receive allows you to receive a fax even if you answered the call  
on an external or extension telephone.

jams.

5
cardstock, into the ADF to push any  
small paper scraps through.
