How Does the Caller ID Work?

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings

As your telephone rings, the screen displays the caller’s phone number. If the callers name is stored in your machine as a Speed Dial, or One Touch dial, the callers name will be displayed. Once you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. TELEPHONE/FAX will appear on the display.

■If # UNAVAILABLE appears on the display, it means that the call came from

outside your caller ID service area. *

■If # WITHHELD appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *

■If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, PICK UP PHONE will remain on the display.

* Depends on network Function.

The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine’s Memory

The machine can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.

The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the following.

■Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call Reply.

You can scroll through the Caller IDs on the display and select one for your machine to dial. (See below)

■Printing the Caller ID List.

You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller ID), and type of call (Comment).

Please set up the number of rings to more than 02 in the Ring Delay (see Setting the Ring Delay, page 25) before you use the Caller ID. If you set up the number of rings to 01, you cannot receive the Caller ID.

Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call Reply

You can display the caller IDs that are stored in the memory and select the caller you want your machine to dial. Call Reply is a convenient feature whereby your Brother fax can dial back a voice/fax call “on-hook” to the opposite party associated with a Caller ID number which has been captured into memory. This saves you from having to copy and dial back to that number manually.
