Voicemail

If you have a voicemail service on the
telephone line that your Brother machine is
connected to, they may conflict with one
another when receiving incoming faxes. If
using this service, we suggest setting the

Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP)
9
VoIP is a type of phone system that uses an
Internet connection instead of a traditional
telephone line. Your machine may not work
with some VoIP systems. If you have
questions about how to connect your
machine to the VoIP system, contact your
VoIP provider.
Connecting an external
telephone answering device
(TAD)

You may choose to connect an external
answering device to your Brother machine.
To receive faxes successfully, you must
connect it correctly. Connect your external
TAD to the T-piece connector on the Brother
line cable supplied with your machine. When
recording an outgoing message on your
external TAD, we recommend recording
5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your
message, and limiting your speaking to
20 seconds. Set your machine’s Receive
Mode to
External TAD
.

You can connect a separate phone into the
T-piece connector on your Brother line cable
supplied with your machine. If you answer a
fax call on an extension or external
telephone, you can make your machine
receive the fax by pressing

machine answers a voice call and fast double
rings for you to take over, press
