Before you choose the ring pattern to register
You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine. Some ring
patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are supported by the Brother
fax machine. Register the one your telephone company gives you.
■
The fax machine will only answer calls to its registered number.
■
The first two rings are silent on the fax machine. This is because the fax must
«listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was ‘registered’).
(Other telephones on the same line will ring.)
■
If you program the fax machine properly, it will recognize the registered ring
pattern of the ‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and then answer with a fax
tone. When the ‘voice number’ is called, the fax machine will not answer.
