  • Page 27: Turning The Machine On And Off

    Turning the machine on and off When the machine is idle, you can turn it on and off by pressing the On/Off key. In OFF mode, no machine operations will be available. Even if you turned the machine off, it will periodically clean the print head to preserve print quality.

    Voice Mail will stop your machine from receiving faxes. If you set Voice Mail and the Brother machine to answer after the same number of rings, there is no way of knowing which one will answer first.
  • Page 29: Fax Tones And Handshake

    Fax tones and handshake When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. You’ll hear them after you dial and press Start and they will continue for about 60 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake”, or connection, with the receiving machine.
  • Page 30: Ecm (Error Correction Mode)

    ECM (Error Correction Mode) The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detects errors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that had an error.
  • Page 31: Connecting An External Telephone Answering Device (Tad)

    Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD) Sequence You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones.
  • Page 32: Connections

    Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. When the TAD is in use, the LCD shows Telephone . Connections The external TAD must be plugged into the back of the machine, into the jack labeled EXT.
  • Page 33: Recording Outgoing Message (Ogm) On An External Tad

    Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.) Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
  • Page 34: Special Line Considerations

    Your machine will work best on a dedicated line.
  • Page 35: Converting Telephone Wall Outlets

    Converting telephone wall outlets There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.
  • Page 36: Installing Machine, External Two-Line Tad And Two-Line Telephone

    Installing machine, external two-line TAD and two-line telephone When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the machine on Line 2, which is explained in the following steps.
  • Page 37: Multi-Line Connections (Pbx)

    Multi-line connections (PBX) Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the machine for you.
