Advanced Receiving Operations
Operation from Extension Telephone or External Telephone
If you answer a fax call on an extension phone (or on an external phone in the 
EXT.  jack), you can make your machine take over by using the Fax Receive 
Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code  5 1, the machine starts to 
receive a fax. (See 
Setting Ring Delay, Page 5-2 and Easy Receive, Page 5-3.)
If the machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use 
the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone.
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a fax. At 
the machine’s phone, press Fax Start, then hang up.  At an extension phone, 
press  5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up.  At an external 
phone, press  5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the LCD shows 
RECEIVING) before you hang up.  (Your caller will have to press Fax Start 
to send the fax.) 
For FAX/TEL Mode Only
When the machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double-
ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call. If you’re at the machine, you can lift 
the handset to answer.
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the F/T 
Ring Time and then press # 5 1 between the double rings. If no one is on the 
line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by 
pressing  5 1.
Changing Remote Codes
Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax 
Receive Code is  5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1.
1Press Menu, 2, 1, 4.
2Press   or   to select ON (or OFF) 
and then press Set.
3If you want to, type a new Fax Receive 
Code, and then press Set. 
4If you want to, type a new Telephone 
Answer Code, and then press Set. 
5Press Stop/Exit.
If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely,

Answer Code from # 5 1 to 9 9 9.

cannot continue to schedule Delayed Faxes or Polling jobs. However, any pre-
scheduled Delayed Faxes will be sent when you turn Memory Security ON so 
they won’t be lost.

Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine.  You can 
use your machine to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll your 
machine. 
All parties involved in polling need to set up their fax machines to accommodate 
polling.  When someone polls your machine to receive a fax, they pay for the 
call; if you poll someone’s fax machine to receive a fax, you pay for the call.
Setting Up Polling Receive
Polling Receive is when you call another fax machine to receive a fax from it.

Canceling a Scheduled Job, Page 5-8.)

Before You Begin
Before you begin sending faxes, please be sure to read all the instructions and 
cautions listed below for placing originals in the automatic document feeder.
Using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)
Documents must be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches wide between 3.9 and 14.1 
inches long. Your machine can scan an image only 8.15 inches wide, regardless 
of how wide the paper is. 
Fan the pages before 
placing them in the ADF.
Make sure you insert 
documents face down, top 
edge first.
Adjust the paper guides to 
fit the width of your 
document.
The ADF (automatic 
document feeder) can hold up to 30 Pages, feeding each one individually 
through the machine. If you “Stagger” the pages, the ADF can hold up to 50 
pages. Use standard (17 lb–24 lb) paper when using the ADF. If you’re using 
heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to prevent paper jams.
Make sure documents written in ink are completely dry.
Before you send a fax press Resolution to select the resolution for the 
document you’re sending. (See 
Fax Resolution, Page 6-5.)
DO NOT use curled, wrinkled, folded or ripped paper, or paper with staples, 
paper clips, paste or tape attached. DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric.
If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and your Brother 
machine intercepts them, set Easy Receive to OFF.

resolution; send using overseas mode, call 
reservation or delayed fax timer, polling 
transmission or real time transmission. After each menu selection is accepted, 
the LCD will ask if you want to enter other settings:
Press 1 if you want to select additional settings. The LCD returns to the 
SETUP SEND menu—OR—
Press 2 if you are finished choosing settings, and then go to the next step.

sending. Then, as soon as the phone line is free, the machine will start dialing and 
sending the fax. If memory becomes full, the machine will send the document in real 
time (even if 
REAL TIME TX is set to OFF).
Sometimes you may want to send an important document immediately, without 
waiting for memory transmission. You can set 
REAL TIME TX to ON.
