RECEIVING FAXES AND OTHER CALLS

The F/T Switch (F/T Mode)

When you share one line for your telephone and fax machine, in the F/T switch mode, the fax machine can determine whether an incoming call is a fax or a telephone call. (See diagram below.)

Incoming Call

The fax machine picks up after ring delay elapses.

All extensions in the home will ring for a period depending on your ring delay setting (user selectable).

You pick up any extension within ring delay period.

The fax machine picks up the call and automatically detects whether it is a fax or voice call.

If FAX DETECT is ON, the fax machine will determine if it is a fax call or not. If it is OFF, you must manually determine if it is a voice or fax call.

Fax call

Fax reception is automatically activated.

The fax message is received.

Voice call

Only the fax handset rings, (double ring) for you to pick up. The fax will ring for several seconds, depending on your F/T ring time setting (user selectable).

Talk as normal.

Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in F/T mode, because some fax machines do not send the standard Group 3 calling tone (“CNG”).

IMPORTANT! This machine does not re-generate ringing conditions to any extension telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring during the time set on the ring delay period. After the period has expired, only the fax machine will ring. The fax machine will ring depending on the F/T ring time you have selected.

Meanwhile, the Brother Fax-1030Plus builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, offering enhanced features to improve functionality.
