Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?

Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but different telephone companies may have other names for this

service such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call,

Date Ident-A-Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing. (See Distinctive Ring

on page 44 for instructions on setting up your machine using this feature.)

Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?

If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility

that Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. (See

Voice Mail on page 44 for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.)

Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother

machine?

Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are

stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose External TAD as your receive mode.

(See External TAD on page 40.)

Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?

Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your receive mode. (See

Fax Only on page 40.)

Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?

Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?

The Fax/Tel receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the

same line. Choose Fax/Tel as your receive mode. (See Fax/Tel onpage 40.)

Important Note: You can not receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering

machine when choosing the Fax/Tel mode.

Do you expect to receive very few faxes?

Choose Manual as your receive mode. You control the telephone line and must answer every call

yourself. (See Manual onpag e 40.)
