Brother FAX-775 Do You Have Voice Mail?, Before You Choose the Ring Pattern to Register

Page 62

Do You Have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line you will install your new fax machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, this Distinctive Ring feature allows

the use of more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the fax

machine can coexist peacefully. If each one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s work.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions below to “register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern they provided, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming calls.

You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring Pattern at any time. You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this menu selection.

Before You Choose the Ring Pattern to Register

You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. Please refer to some popular ring pattern examples that will be provided from the telephone company in the USA and Canada that are shown in the Brother compatibility table below.

Ring

Pattern

Rings

1

long - long

2

short - long - short

3

short - short - long

4

very long (normal pattern)

Note

If the ring pattern the telephone company provided cannot be registered by the fax,

please check for other available ring pattern choices from the telephone company.

■The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered number.

■The first two rings are silent on the fax machine. This is because the fax must « listen » to the ring pattern (compare it to the pattern that was “registered”).

■If you program the fax machine correctly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the “fax number” within 2 ring patterns and automatically answer with a fax tone. When the “voice number” is called, the fax machine will not interrupt the call.
