    If your Brother machine is on a line with the Distinctive Ring subscriber service, please see Distinctive Ring uu page 34. If your Brother machine shares a line with other telephones and you want it to automatically answer all incoming faxes, you should select Fax/Tel mode. In Fax/Tel mode, your Brother machine will automatically receive faxes and produce a pseudo/double-ring to alert you to answer voice calls.

  • Page 84: Sending Faxes

    Suggestions 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. (See Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) uu page 36.) Plug the telephone line cord directly from the wall telephone jack to your Brother machine’s LINE jack.

  • Page 85: Handling Incoming Calls

    For example: If you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax, the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. Brother's ECM (Error Correction Mode) feature should help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone system industry and is common to all devices that send and receive information on a single, shared line with custom features.
