    Changing One Touch and Speed Dial Numbers
    If you try to store a One Touch or Speed Dial number in a location where a number is 
    already stored, the LCD shows the current name or number stored there, then prompts 
    you to either    1. CHANGE—OR—2. EXIT. 
    1Press 1 to change the number stored, or press 2 to exit without making a change.
    2Enter a new number.
    •If you want to erase the whole number or whole name, press Stop/Exit when 
    the cursor is to the left of the characters. The characters above and to the right 
    of the cursor are deleted.
    •If you want to change a character, use   or   to position the cursor under the 
    character you want to change, and then type over it.
    3Follow the instructions beginning at Step 3 in Storing One Touch Numbers or Storing 
    Speed Dial Numbers.
    Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting
    Groups allow you to send the same fax message to many fax numbers by pressing only 
    one One Touch key (Broadcasting).  Each Group uses up a One Touch key so you must 
    save a key for each Group. First, you’ll need to store each fax number as a One Touch 
    or Speed Dial number.  Then, you can combine them into a Group. Finally, you can have 
    up to six small Groups, or you can assign up to 111 numbers to one large Group. (See 
    Storing One Touch Dial Numbers, page 7-1, Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 7-2 and 
    Broadcasting, page 7-7.)
    1Press Menu/Set, 6, 3.
    2Select the One Touch key where you wish to 
    store the number.  (For example, press One 
    Touch key 3 to store a Group.)
    3Use the dial pad to identify the Group with a 
    number, and then press Menu/Set. 
    (For example, press 1 for Group 1.)
    4To include One Touch or Speed Dial numbers in 
    the Group, enter them as if you were dialing. For 
    example, for One Touch key 4, press One Touch key 4. For Speed Dial location 09, press 
    Search/Speed Dial, and then press 0, 9 on the dial pad. The LCD shows 04#09.
    5Press Menu/Set to accept the numbers for this Group.
    6Use the dial pad to enter a name for the Group, 
    and then press Menu/Set. (For example, NEW CLIENTS) 
    (See Details for Entering Text, page 4-2.)
    7Press Stop/Exit.
    You can print a list of all One Touch and Speed Dial numbers.  
    (See  Printing Reports, Chapter 11.)

    Dialing Options
    You can use your fax machine to make voice telephone calls by dialing manually or 
    by using Search, One Touch or Speed Dial memory. You can use the handset to make 
    and receive calls.
    When you dial an auto dial number, the LCD shows the name you’ve stored, or if you 
    haven’t stored a name, the fax number you’ve stored.
    Manual Dialing
    Manual dialing is simply pressing all of the digits of the phone number. 
    1Pick up the handset—OR—Press Speaker phone.
    2When you hear a dial tone, dial the call using the dial pad.
    3You can switch from handset to Speaker phone by pressing Speaker phone, then 
    replacing the handset. You can switch from Speaker phone to handset by lifting the 
    handset.
    4To hang up, replace the handset.
    One Touch Dialing
    1Pick up the handset—OR—Press Speaker phone.
    2When you hear a dial tone, press the One Touch key of the location you want to call.
    3If you pressed Speaker phone to dial the call, pick up the handset when the other 
    party answers.
    4To hang up a voice call, replace the handset. 
    If you try to use a One Touch location with no number stored in it, you will hear a 
    warning sound and LCD will show NOT REGISTERED. The LCD returns to 
    normal after two seconds.
    If you are sending a fax, press Fax Start after pressing the One Touch key. If you 
    picked up the handset, press Fax Start when the receiving fax machine answers with 
    fax tones.

    Speed Dialing
    1Pick up the handset—OR—Press Speaker phone.
    2When you hear a dial tone, press Search/Speed Dial, press #, and then press the 
    two-digit Speed Dial number.
    3To hang up a voice call, replace the handset. 
    Dialing Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers
    Sometimes you may want to choose from among several long distance carriers when 
    you make a call. Rates may vary depending upon the time and destination. To take 
    advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or long-distance carriers as One 
    Touch and Speed Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by 
    dividing them and setting them up separately in any combination. You can even 
    include manual dialing using the dial pad. The combined number will be dialed in the 
    order you enter it, as soon as you press Fax Start. Make sure you select CHAIN as 
    the type of the number when you store it as a One Touch or Speed Dial.  (See Storing 
    One Touch Dial Numbers and Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 7-1 to 7-2.)
    For example: 
    You store “555”on One Touch key 3 and “7000”on One Touch key 4. If you press One 
    Touch 3, 4 and Fax Start you will dial “555-7000”. To temporarily change a number, 
    you can substitute part of the number with manual dialing using the dial pad. For 
    example, to change the number to 555-7001 you can press One Touch 3, and then 
    press 7, 0, 0, 1 using the dial pad. 
    If you are sending a fax, press Fax Start after entering the Speed Dial number. If you 
    picked up the handset, press Fax Start when the receiving machine answers with fax 
    tones.
    If you must wait for another dial tone or signal at any point in the dialing sequence, 
    store a pause there in the number by pressing Pause/Redial.
    Pause after dialing Speed Dial numbers for the name to be displayed before you enter 
    the next portion of the dialing sequence.

    your fax next. This way, you don’t have to wait for it to finish sending or receiving the 
    other fax. You can dial this fax call manually, or by using Redial, One Touch, Speed 
    Dial, or Chain dialing. (When you use One Touch and Speed Dial, only the memory

    Custom Features 
    Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring, Caller ID and Call Waiting/Caller ID 
    telephone services offered by some telephone companies.
    If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the following carefully.
    Distinctive Ring 
    The term “Distinctive Ring” is used by Brother to identify a telephone company 
    service that is given many names, depending on the telephone company you are using.  
    For example, this service may be called SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Ident-a-
    Call or Ident-a-Ring.
    What Does Your Telephone Company’s “Distinctive Ring” Do?
    Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service allows more than one number to 
    be on same phone line. If you need more than one phone number, it is an 
    inexpensive alternative to paying for an additional line.  Each phone number has 
    its own distinctive ring pattern, so you’ll know which phone number is ringing.  This 
    is one way you can have a separate phone number for your fax machine. 
    What Does Brother’s “Distinctive Ring” Do?
    The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your fax 
    machine to take full advantage of the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service. 
    You can dedicate the new phone number on your line to receive only faxes.
    If you have Voice Mail, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other 
    custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the operation of 
    your fax machine. 
    (See Custom Features on a Single Line, page 13-9.)
    Please consult your telephone company for availability and rates. 
    You must purchase your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service before you 
    program the Brother machine to work with it.

    Do You Have Voice Mail?
    If you have Voice Mail on the phone line you will install your new fax machine on, 
    there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine will conflict with each 
    other while receiving incoming calls. However, this Distinctive Ring feature allows 
    the use of more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the fax 
    machine can coexist peacefully. If each one has a separate phone number, neither 
    will interfere with the other’s work.
    If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will 
    need to follow the directions below to “register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern they 
    provided, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming calls.
    Before You Choose the Ring Pattern to Register 
    You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine. Some ring 
    patterns cannot be registered. Please refer to some popular ring pattern examples that 
    will be provided from the telephone company in the USA and Canada that are shown 
    in the Brother compatibility table below.
    The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered number.
    The first two rings are silent on the fax machine.  This is because the fax must « listen »  
    to the ring pattern (compare it to the pattern that was “registered”).
     If you program the fax machine correctly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern 
    of the “fax number” within two ring patterns and automatically answer with a fax tone. 
    When the “voice number” is called, the fax machine will not interrupt the call. 
    You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it 
    off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you 
    reset this menu selection.
    Ring 
    PatternRings
    1 long - long
    2 short - long - short
    3 short - short - long
    4 very long (normal pattern)
    If the ring pattern the telephone company provided cannot be registered by the fax, 
    please check for other available ring pattern choices from the telephone 
    company.

    Very Important
    If you have Voice Mail or a TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and want to keep 
    one of your phone numbers dedicated only to fax calls, you must leave the fax machine 
    in MANUAL mode at all times while using the Distinctive Ring feature. Here’s why:  
    Manual mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it is «Neutral ».  When the fax 
    machine is in this « neutral » mode, the Distinctive Ring feature can be activated. The 
    Distinctive Ring feature is actually an answering mode. So, do not activate FAX 
    ONLY mode or FAX /TEL mode while using Distinctive Ring; otherwise, the fax 
    machine will answer calls for all the numbers.
    Registering the Distinctive Ring Pattern
    1Set the fax machine to MANUAL mode.
    2Press Menu/Set, 0, 1.
    3Press   to select DISTINCTIVE:SET?, and then press Menu/Set.
    4Press   to select the prestored ring pattern you want to assign, and then press 
    Menu/Set. (You will hear each pattern as you scroll through the four patterns.)
    Be sure to choose the pattern assigned by the telephone company.
    5Press Stop/Exit.
    Caller ID
    The Caller ID feature of this fax machine lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service 
    offered by many local telephone companies. After at least two rings, the LCD shows 
    the telephone number of your caller (or up to 16 characters of the name, if available). 
    Once you pick up the handset the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but 
    the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.
    Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to 
    determine the kind of service available in your area.
    Caller ID Log
    Your fax machine stores up to 30 of the last Caller IDs received into the fax machine’s 
    memory in the Caller ID Log. When the thirty-first call comes in, information about 
    the first call is erased. You can print the report or scroll through Caller ID information 
    to review those calls made to your fax machine.CALL PICKUPremains on the LCD when no Caller ID information was 
    transmitted
