Before you choose the ring pattern to register
You can only register o ne Distinctive Ri ng pattern with the
machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring
patterns below are supported by the Brother machine. Register the
one your telephone company gives you.
The machine will only answer ca lls to its registered number.
The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because
the fax must «listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the
pattern that was ‘regi stered’). (Other te lephones on the sam e
line will ring.)
If you program the machine properly, it will recognize the
registered ring pattern of the ‘fax number ’ within 2 ring pat terns
and then answer with a fax tone. When the ‘voice number’ is
called, the machine will not answer.
Registering the Distinctive Ring patternVery important
