How to send a fax4
The following steps show how to send a fax.
aWhen you want to send a fax, or change 
fax send or receive settings, press the (FAX) key to illuminate it in blue.
 
The LCD shows: 
bDo one of the following to load your 
document:
 Place the document  face down in the 
ADF. (See  Using the ADF 
(MFC-J410 and MFC-J415W only)  
on page 20.)
 Load your document  face down on 
the scanner glass. (See  Using the 
scanner glass  on page 20.)
Note
• If you send a mono fax from the ADF when 
the memory is full it will be sent in real 
time.
• You can use the scanner glass to fax  pages of a book one at a time. The 
documents can be up to A4 or Letter size.
• To send colour faxes with multiple pages  use the ADF. (MFC-J410 and 
MFC-J415W only)
• Since you can only scan one page at a  time, it is easier to use the ADF if you are 
sending a multiple page document. 
(MFC-J410 and MFC-J415W only)

resolution or contrast if you want to 
change them.

Using receive modes5
Some receive modes answer automatically 
(Fax Only and  Fax/Tel). You may want to 
change the ring delay before using these 
modes. (See  Ring Delay on page 27.)
Fax Only5
Fax Only mode will automatically answer 
every call as a fax call.
Fax/Tel5
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically 
manage incoming calls, by recognising 
whether they are fax or voice calls and 
dealing with them in one of the following 
ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T Ring to tell you 
to pick up the line. The F/T Ring is a fast 
double-ring made by your machine.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)  
on page 27 and  Ring Delay on page 27.)
Manual5
Manual mode turns off all automatic 
answering functions unless you are using the 
BT Call Sign feature.
To receive a fax in manual mode lift the 
handset of an external telephone. When you 
hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press 
Mono Start or  Colour Start and choose 
Receive . You can also use the Fax Detect 
feature to receive faxes by lifting a handset on 
the same line as the machine.
(Also see  Fax Detect  on page 28.)
External TAD5
External TAD mode lets an external 
answering device manage your incoming 
calls. Incoming calls will be dealt with in one 
of the following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice callers can record a message on the 
external TAD.
(For more information see  Connecting an 
external TAD (telephone answering device)  
on page 31.)

Ring Delay5
The Ring Delay sets the number of times the 
machine rings before it answers in  Fax Only 
or  Fax/Tel mode. If you have external or 
extension telephones on the same line as the 
machine choose the maximum number of 
rings.
(See  Operation from external and extension 
telephones  on page 33 and  Fax Detect 
on page 28.)

all.
fPress  Stop/Exit .
F/T Ring Time 
(Fax/Tel mode only)5
When somebody calls your machine, you and 
your caller will hear the normal telephone ring 
sound. The number of rings is set by the ring 
delay setting. 
If the call is a fax, then your machine will 
receive it; however, if it is a voice call the 
machine will sound the F/T Ring (a fast 
double-ring) for the time you have set in the 
F/T Ring Time setting. If you hear the 
F/T Ring it means that you have a voice caller 
on the line.
Because the F/T Ring is made by the 
machine, extension and external telephones 
will not ring; however, you can still answer the 
call on any telephone. (For more information 
see  Using remote codes  on page 35.)
