Brother MFC-9100C manual Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line.

1Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.

2Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the MFC, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)

3Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The MFC’s Ring Delay setting does not apply).

4Record the outgoing message. (See below.)

5 Set the Answer mode to EXT. TEL/TAD (Function 1 , 2 , 1 , page 5-1).

Recording Outgoing Message (OGM)

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.

1Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.

(This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

2Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. (See Easy Receive, page 5-2.)

3End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example: “ After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 5 1 and Start.”

We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the MFC cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your MFC has trouble receiving, then you must rerecord the OGM to include it.
