Multi-Line connections
(PABX)
7
Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our machines be
connected to a discreet (dedicated) line.
Although a particular PABX may appear to
work with a particular model of fax machine,
we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate
correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a
fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you
contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the fax machine for you.
Brother does not recommend the use of a
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can
cause some functions of the fax machine not
to work correctly.

If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone plugged into the correct
socket on the machine, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Fax
Receive Code. When you press the Fax
Receive Code
