Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?
Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but other telephone companies have other names for this service
such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Call, and Smart Ring. See
Distinctive ring
on page 51 for instruction on setting up your machine using this feature.
Will you be using Voicemail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?
If you have Voicemail 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
Voice
on page 50 for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother
machine?
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are
stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose
External TAD
as your receive mode.
See
External TAD
on page 45.
Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose
Fax Only
as your receive mode. See
Fax Only
on page 45.
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
receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the
same line. Choose
Fax/Tel
as your receive mode. See
Fax/Tel
on page 45.
Important Note:
You can not receive voice messages on either Voicemail or an answering machine
when choosing the
Fax/Tel
mode.
Do you expect to receive very few faxes?
Choose
Manual
as your receive mode. You control the telephone line and must answer every call
yourself. See
Manual
on page 45.
