Brother 1575MC Very Important, Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern, Caller ID Log

Very Important

If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to keep one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the fax machine in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring feature. Here’s why: Manual mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is «Neutral ». When the fax machine is in this « neutral » mode, the Distinctive Ring feature can be activated. The Distinctive Ring feature is actually an answering mode. So, do not activate FAX ONLY mode or FAX /TEL mode while using Distinctive Ring; otherwise, the fax machine will answer calls for all the numbers.

Caller ID

The Caller ID feature of this fax machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (or up to 16 characters of the name, if available). Once you pick up the handset the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.

CALL PICKUP remains on the LCD when no Caller ID information was transmitted

OUT OF AREA means the call originates outside your Caller ID sevice area

PRIVATE CALL means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information

Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to determine the kind of service available in your area.

Caller ID Log

Your fax machine stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into the fax machine’s memory in the Caller ID Log. When the thirty-first call comes in, information about the first call is erased. You can print the report or scroll through Caller ID information to review those calls made to your fax machine.
