If you answer a call and no one is on

the line: 7
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Easy Receive
feature to make your machine
automatically take the call. (See Easy
Receive on page 45.)

Using a non-Brother cordless

external telephone

(MFC-685CW only) 7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
and you typically carry the cordless handset
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Speaker Phone to send the call to the
cordless handset.
Using remote codes 7
Fax Receive code 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialing the Fax Receive Code
l51. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. See Easy Receive
on page 45. Your caller will have to press
Start to send the fax.
Telephone Answer code 7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you
pick up the call on an extension telephone
you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51
(make sure you press this between the rings).
Changing the remote codes 7
The preset Fax Receive Code is l51. The
preset Telephone Answer Code is #51. If
you want to, you can replace them with your
own codes.
