Receive Modes Overview

Some receive modes answer automatically ([Fax Only] and [Fax/Tel]). You may want to change the Ring Delay before using these modes.

Fax Only

[Fax Only] mode automatically answers every call as a fax.

Fax/Tel

[Fax/Tel] mode helps you manage incoming calls, by recognizing whether they are fax or voice calls and handling them in one of the following ways:

• Faxes will be received automatically.

• Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a pseudo/double-ring made by your machine.

Manual

[Manual] mode turns off all automatic answering functions (unless you are using the Distinctive Ring feature).

To receive a fax in [Manual] mode, lift the handset of the external telephone or press the Hook button in Fax mode. When you hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press the Start button in Fax mode, and then select [Receive] to receive a fax. You can also use the Easy Receive feature to receive faxes by lifting a handset on the same line as the machine.

Fax

External TAD

[External TAD] mode lets an external answering device manage your incoming calls.

Incoming calls will be handled in the following ways:

• Faxes will be received automatically.

• Voice callers can record a message on the external TAD.

Related Information

• Fax and Telephone Problems on page 53

Choose the Correct Receive Mode

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? (USA and Canada only)

Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but different telephone companies may have other names for this service.

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. Select Manual Mode as your Receive Mode.

If you do not want to answer every call manually to determine whether it's a voice call or a fax, contact your telephone provider and ask about Distinctive Ring services.

Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?

• Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?

Select [Fax/Tel] mode when your Brother machine and your telephones share the same line.

Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine if you select [Fax/Tel] mode.

• Do you expect to receive very few

faxes?

Select [Manual] as your Receive Mode. You control the telephone line and must answer every call yourself.

Press [Settings] > [All

Settings] > [Fax] > [Setup Receive] > [Receive Mode].

If you cannot change the [Receive Mode] option, make sure the Distinctive

Ring feature is set to [Off].

Press the [Fax Only], [Fax/Tel],

[External TAD] or [Manual] option.

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] as your Receive Mode.

Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?

Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Select [Fax Only] as your Receive Mode.

Set the F/T Ring Time (Pseudo/Double-ring)

When you set the Receive Mode to [Fax/ Tel], if the call is a fax, your machine will

receive it automatically. 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.

Because the F/T ring is a setting only on your Brother machine, extension and external telephones will not ring; however, you can still answer the machine's call on any telephone.

Press [Settings] > [All

Settings] > [Fax] > [Setup Receive] > [F/T Ring Time].

Press how long the machine will double-

ring to alert you to a voice call ([20Secs], [30Secs], [40Secs], or [70Secs]).

• The Ring Delay setting sets the number of times the machine rings before it answers in [Fax Only] and [Fax/ Tel] modes.

• If you have external or extension telephones on the same line as the machine, keep the Ring Delay setting of [4].

Press [Settings] > [All

Settings] > [Fax] > [Setup Receive] > [Ring Delay].

Press the number of times you want the

line to ring before the machine answers (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4).

If you select [0], the machine will answer immediately and the line will not ring at all (available only for some countries).

Telephone Services and External Devices

You may be able to use the following services and connections with your Brother machine.

These are summaries of ways to connect your machine. For more information about each topic, see the Online User's Guide.

Voice Mail

If you have a 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 in Manual Mode or subscribe to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service.

Caller ID

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. This service displays the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings.

Distinctive Ring

Distinctive Ring is a telephone-company service that allows you to have two different phone numbers on a single line. Each telephone number has its own ring pattern. You can program your Brother machine to receive faxes automatically on one of the two numbers.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

Connection of an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD)

Your Brother machine can receive faxes automatically when it shares a line with an external TAD. You must connect the TAD to the jack labeled EXT. on the Brother machine and set the machine's Receive Mode to External TAD.

External and Extension Telephones

You can connect a separate telephone to the jack labeled EXT. on the Brother machine. If you answer an incoming fax on the external telephone, you can make the machine receive it by pressing * 5 1, or by pressing the Start button in Fax mode, and then choosing Receive. If you answer an incoming fax on an extension telephone that shares the line with the Brother machine, you can transfer the fax to the machine by pressing * 5 1.

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, press # 5 1 to take the call on an extension telephone.

Fax

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.
