Choosing the Receive Mode 6 The diagram below will help you choose the correct mode. For more detailed information on the receive modes see page 31.
Receiving a Fax Using receive modes 6 External TAD 6 External TAD mode lets an external answering device manage your incoming calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in one of the following ways: Some receive modes answer automatically (Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to change the ring delay before using these modes see Ring Delay on page 31. Faxes will be automatically received. Fax only 6 Fax only mode will automatically answer every call.
Chapter 6 F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) If Easy Receive is Off: 6 You have to lift the handset of an external phone, and then press Black Start or Color Start on the machine. If you set the Receive Mode to Fax/Tel, you need to decide how long the machine will signal you with its special pseudo/double-ring when you have a voice call. If it's a fax call, the machine receives the fax. If you are not at your machine, press l 5 1 on the extension phone.
Receiving a Fax Additional receiving operations Receiving a fax at the end of a conversation At the end of a conversation you can ask the other party to send you a fax before you both hang up. Printing a reduced incoming fax 6 If you choose On, the machine automatically reduces each page of an incoming fax to fit on one page of A4, Letter or Legal size paper. The machine calculates the reduction ratio by using the page size of the fax and your Paper Size setting (Menu, 1, 3).
7 Telephone Services and External devices Voice Operations Tone or pulse (For Canada only) 7 7 If you are using an external phone and have a pulse dialing service, but need to send tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below. If you have Touch Tone service, you will not need this feature to send tone signals. a b Press # on the control panel of your machine. Any digits dialed after this will send tone signals.
Telephone Services and External devices Telephone services 7 Your machine supports the Caller ID and Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone services that some telephone companies offer. Note You must pay for your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service before you program the machine to work with it. 7 Brother uses the term ‘Distinctive Ring’ but different telephone companies have other names for this service such as SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring.
Chapter 7 Before you choose the ring pattern to register You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are supported by your Brother machine. Register the one your telephone company gives you. 7 Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern Very Important! After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to on, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically.
Telephone Services and External devices Caller ID The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. Call your telephone company for details. This service shows the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings. After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (and name, if available).
Chapter 7 Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) You may choose to connect an external answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine ‘listens’ for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.
Telephone Services and External devices e f Set the TAD to answer calls. Special line considerations Set the Receive Mode to External TAD. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 30.) Roll over phone lines Recording an outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. a b c Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
Chapter 7 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 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 triple adapter. Triplex Adapter 7 a Put the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your machine.
Telephone Services and External devices Multi-line connections (PBX) We suggest you ask the company who installed your PBX to connect your machine. If you have a multi line system we suggest you ask the installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the machine being activated each time the system receives telephone calls. If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator we recommend that you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
Chapter 7 If you answer a call and no one is on the line: Changing the remote codes 7 You should assume that you're receiving a manual fax. Press l 5 1 and wait for the chirp or until the LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up. The preset Fax Receive Code is l 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1. If you want to, you can replace them with your own codes. a Note 4.Remote Codes 7 If your cordless telephone is connected to the EXT.

Search 8 You can search for names you have stored in the Speed-Dial memories. Press Search/Speed Dial and the menu keys to search, or use the dial pad to search alphabetically.
Chapter 8 Fax Redial 8 If you are sending a fax manually and the line is busy, press Redial/Pause, and then press Black Start or Color Start to try again. If you want to make a second call to the last number dialed, you can save time by pressing Redial/Pause and Black Start or Color Start. Storing Speed-Dial numbers You can store up to 40 2-digit Speed-Dial locations with a name.
Dialing and storing numbers Changing Speed-Dial numbers a 3.Set Quick-Dial 8 If you try to store a Speed-Dial number where a number has already been stored, the LCD will show the name or number that has been stored there, and will ask you to do one of the following: 2.Setup Groups Press 1 to change the stored number. b Use the dial pad to enter the two-digit Speed-Dial number where you want to store the Group. Press OK. c Use the dial pad to enter a Group number (1 to 6). Press OK. #05:Mike 1.
Chapter 8 Dialing access codes and credit card numbers You can combine more than one Quick-Dial number when you dial. This feature may be useful if you need to dial an access code for a cheaper rate long distance carrier. For example, you might have stored ‘555’ on Speed-Dial #03 and ‘7000’ on Speed-Dial #02. You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’ if you press the following keys: Search/Speed Dial, #03, Search/Speed Dial, #02, and Start.
