Difficulties | Suggestions |
Custom features on a single line. | If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Caller ID, RingMaster, Voice Mail, |
| an answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single |
| telephone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving |
| faxes. |
| For Example: If you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and |
| its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax, |
| the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. 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. |
