Fax/Tel mode 7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you are at the machine, you can lift the
handset (MFC-660CN only) or press
Speaker Phone (MFC-660CN only) to
answer.
If you are at an external telephone, lift the
handset of the external telephone, and then
press Tel/R or press Speaker Phone twice to
answer.
If you are at an extension phone, you'll need
to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time
and then press #51 between the
pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line,
or if someone wants to send you a fax, send
the call back to the machine by pressing
l51.

Fax/Tel mode in Power Save

condition 7
(For MFC-440CN)
Fax/Tel mode does not work in the power
save condition. The machine will not answer
telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing. If
you are at an external or extension phone, lift
the handset and talk. If you hear fax tones,
hold the handset until Fax Detect activates
your machine. If the other party says they
want to send you a fax, activate the machine
by pressing l51.
(For MFC-660CN)
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode and
F/T rings to tell you to pick up a voice call, you
can only answer by picking up the machine’s
handset.
If you answer before the machine F/T rings,
you can also pick up the call at an external or
extension phone.
Telephone services 7
Your machine supports the Caller ID
subscriber telephone service that some
telephone companies offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, answering services, alarm
systems or other custom features on one
phone line may create problems with the
operation of your machine.
Note
Caller ID is available for U.K. and Ireland
only.

Caller ID (MFC-660CN only)

(For U.K. and Ireland only) 7
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. Call your telephone
company for details. This service shows the
telephone number, or name if it is available,
of your caller as the line rings.
You can use a number in the Caller ID History
to send a fax, add it to Speed-Dial, or delete
it from the history. (See Caller ID history
(MFC-660CN only) (For U.K. and Ireland
only) on page 57.)
After a few rings, the LCD shows the
telephone number of your caller (and name, if
available). Once you pick up the external
phone's handset, the Caller ID information
disappears from the LCD, but the call
information stays stored in the Caller ID
memory.
You can see the first 15 characters of the
number (or name).
The # Unavailable message means
the call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
The # Withheld message means the
caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.
