Dial Tone detection, 109 | Brother MFC-253CW guide

Dial Tone detection

When you send a fax automatically, by default your machine will wait for a fixed amount of time before it starts to dial the number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to Detection you can make your machine dial as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting can save a small amount of time when sending a fax to many different numbers. If you change the setting and start having problems with dialling you should change back to the default No Detection setting.

a Press Menu, 0, 5.

b Press a or b to choose Detection or No Detection.

Press OK.

c Press Stop/Exit.

Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance

Telephone line interference

If you are having problems sending or receiving a fax due to possible interference on the telephone line, we recommend that you adjust the Equalization for compatibility to reduce the modem speed for fax operations.

a Press Menu, 0, 6.

(Menu, 0, 5 for New Zealand.)

b Press a or b to choose Normal (or Basic(for VoIP)).

Basic(for VoIP) cuts the modem speed to 9,600 bps. Unless interference is a recurring problem on your telephone line, you may prefer to use it only when needed.

Normal sets the modem speed at 14,400 bps. (Default)

Press OK.

c Press Stop/Exit.

Note

When you change the compatibility to Basic(for VoIP), the ECM feature is only available for colour fax sending.
