Handling Incoming Calls

Difficulty Suggestions
The machine ‘Hears’ a voice as a
CNG Tone.
If Easy Receive is set to on, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may
mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling
and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing
Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Easy Receive to off. (See Easy
Receive on page 39.)
Sending a fax call to the machine. If you answered at the machine, press Black Start and hang up at once. If you
answered on an external or extension phone, press your Fax Receive Code
(default setting is l51). When your machine answers, hang up.
Custom features on a single line. If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Voice Mail, an alarm system or
other custom feature on a single phone line with your machine, it may create a
problem sending or receiving faxes.
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 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. If avoiding a slight interruption is
crucial to your business, a separate phone line with no custom features is
recommended.

Menu Setting Difficulties

Difficulty Suggestions
The machine beeps when you try to
access the Setup Receive menu. If the Fax key is not illuminated, press it to turn on Fax mode. The Setup
Receive setting is available only when the machine is in Fax mode.
