2CHAPTER ONE
Fax Tones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones (CNG
tones)Ñsoft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. YouÕll hear them when
you dial and press 
Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing.
During that time, the sending machine must begin the ÒhandshakeÓ with the
receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you
are sending CNG tones over the phone line. YouÕll soon learn to listen for these
soft...

Connections
Connecting the Power Cord
When you connect the power, the screen displays 01/01 00:00 FAX.
NOTICE:
1)This fax must be grounded using a three-prong plug.
2)Since the fax machine is grounded through the power outlet, you can
protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the
telephone network by keeping the power to your machine on when you
connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when
you want to move your machine, by disconnecting...

7LOCATION AND  CONNECTIONS
Two-Line Phone System
A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers
on the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks
(RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged
into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and
appearance and both may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To
test the type of jack, plug in a two-line phone and see if it can access both
lines. If it can, you must...

8CHAPTER TWO
Installing Brother 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 Brother machine on Line 2, which is our assumption in the following
steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one
labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will...

9LOCATION AND  CONNECTIONS
Multi-Line Connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively
simple to connect the fax 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 fax machine for you. It is
advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can then leave the
fax machine in FAX ONLY Mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
If the fax...

10CHAPTER TWO
Connecting an External
Telephone Answering Device (TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering system.  When you
have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the
TAD answers all calls. The fax machine ÒlistensÓ for fax calling (CNG)
tones. If it hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the
fax. If it doesnÕt hear CNG tones, the fax machine lets the TAD continue
playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a...
