Cannot receive a fax.
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. 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.”
2. Set your answering machine to answer calls.
3. Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to
External TAD
.
Make sure your Brother machine’s Fax Detect feature is turned On. Fax
Detect is a feature that allows you to receive a fax even if you have
answered the call on an external or extension telephone.
