machine, alarm system or any other custom feature

 

 

on a single phone line with your FAX/MFC, it may

 

 

create a problem sending or receiving fax data.

 

 

Example #1: If you are having a telephone

 

 

conversation and a fax communication signal

 

 

comes through on your Call Waiting Call ID

 

 

feature, you can verify that the second call is a fax

 

 

by switching to it. You have the option to receive

 

 

the fax call, by asking the first caller to hang up to

 

 

clear the line.

 

 

Example #2: If you are sending or receiving a fax

 

 

message while a Call Waiting Caller ID (or other

 

 

custom feature) signal comes through on the line,

 

 

the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the

 

 

fax data. (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 line with no custom features is

 

 

recommended.
