Handling Incoming Calls

Double Ring in FAX/TEL Mode

The MFC knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signaling you to

 

answer the telephone call. Pick up the MFC handset or answer from an

 

extension phone and press your MFC’s Telephone Answer Code (default

 

setting is #51).

 

 

 

 

Transferring a Fax Call to the MFC

If you answered at the MFC, press Start and hang up immediately. If you

 

answered at an extension phone, press your Fax Receive Code (default

 

setting is

 

51). When your MFC answers, hang up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Custom Features on a Single Line

If you have Call Waiting, Caller ID, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Ring Master,

 

Voice Mail, alarm system or any other custom feature on a single phone

 

line with your MFC, it may create a problem sending or receiving fax data.

 

For example: If you are sending or receiving a fax message while a 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.
