Caller ID (Caller IDentification) (Only for the U.K.)

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone number as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your machine’s memory. In addition to the standard Caller ID features, you can select a Caller ID and have your machine dial the number for you.

NOTE: ■ To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.

■To PABX Users :

Calling line identification signals are not generally delivered to your Brother fax machine if it is connected behind a private branch exchange (PBX) system or other call routing device.

Advantages of Caller ID

For Business

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.

At Home

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

Set the Caller ID to ON

If you have BT Caller ID on your line, then this function should be set to ON to display the caller’s phone number on the fax LCD as the telephone rings.
