Easy Receive

When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the Brother machine. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the machine

yourself, by pressing Start —OR—by pressing

 

5 1 if you are not at the

 

machine.

 

 

If you’ve set this feature to ON, but your machine doesn’t automatically connect a fax call when you lift an external or extension phone handset,

press the Fax Receive code 5 1 . At the machine, lift the handset and press Start . (See Operation from External or Extension Telephones and For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-7.)

If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and your Brother machine intercepts them, set Easy Receive to OFF.
