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.
