	Example #1: If you are having a telephone
	conversation and a fax communication signal
	comes through on your Call Waiting Caller ID
	feature, you can verify that the second call is a
	fax by switching to it. You have the option to
	receive the fax call, by asking the first caller to
	hang up to clear the line.
	Example #2: If you are sending or receiving a
	fax message while a Call Waiting Caller ID (or
	other 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.
