Telephone Services and External devices55 7 Before you choose the ring pattern to register 7 You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are supported by your Brother machine. Register the one your telephone company gives you. Note If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, please call your telephone company and ask for one that is shown . „The machine will only answer calls to its registered number. „ The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the fax must ‘listen’ to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was ‘registered’). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.) „ If you program the machine properly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the ‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the ‘voice number’ is called, the machine will not answer. Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern 7 After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to on, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. You cannot change the receive mode to another mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on. aPress Menu. bPress a or b to choose Fax. Press OK. cPress a or b to choose Miscellaneous .

Chapter 7 56 Caller ID7 The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. Call your telephone company for details. This service shows the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings. You can use a number in the Caller ID History to make a phone call (MFC-665CW and MFC-845CW only), send a fax, add it to Speed-Dial, or delete it from the history. (See Caller ID history on page 65.) After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (and name, if available). Once you answer a call, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD, but the call information stays stored in the Caller ID memory. „ You can see the first 15 characters of the number (or name). „ The Out of Area message means the call originated outside your Caller ID service area. „ The Private Call message means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information. You can print a list of the Caller ID information received by your machine. (See Printing Caller ID List on page 57.) Note • This feature may not be available in certain areas of the USA and Canada. • Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to find out about the kind of service available in your area. Setting up your area code (USA only)7 Your machine will automatically dial 1 plus the area code for any number that does not originate in your area code. The machine can identify local calls from your area code by entering your area code in the Area Code setting. With this setting, calls returned from the caller ID history to your area code will be dialed using only 7-digits. If you must dial the area code to call within your area code, do not enter this setting. If your dialing plan does not follow the standard 1 + area code + 7-digit number dialing system for calling outside your area code, you may experience problems returning calls automatically from the caller ID history. If this is not the procedure followed by your dialing plan, you will not be able to return calls automatically. aPress Menu. bPress a or b to choose Fax.

Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) 7 You may choose to connect an external 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. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message. The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax ‘handshake’. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds five rings. Note • If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD. • If You Subscribe to your Telephone companys Distinctive Ring Service: You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe to your telephone companys Distinctive Ring service, have registered the distinctive ring pattern on your machine, and use that number as a fax number. The recommended setting is at least four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone companys Distinctive Ring Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver setting.
Chapter 7 58 • If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service: You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your machine. If your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to control the phone line. (See the illustration below.) 1TAD When the TAD answers a call, the LCD shows Telephone (MFC-440CN) or Ext. Tel in Use (MFC-665CW and MFC-845CW). Connections7 The external TAD must be plugged into the jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring). aPlug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack into the jack labeled LINE. bPlug the telephone line cord from the external TAD into the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TADs telephone line jack, and not its handset jack.) cSet your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machines Ring Delay setting does not apply.) dRecord the outgoing message on your external TAD. eSet the TAD to answer calls. fDo one of the following: „ (For MFC-440CN) Set the Receive Mode to External TAD . „ (For MFC-665CW and MFC-845CW) Set the Receive Mode to Manual with Easy Receive turned on. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 46.) 1 1
Telephone Services and External devices59 7 Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD7 Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. aRecord 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.) bLimit your speaking to 20 seconds. cEnd your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example: ‘After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing l51 and Start .’ Note We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving, then you must re- record the OGM to include it. Special line considerations7 Roll over phone lines7 A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or ‘rolled over’ to the next available phone line in a preset order. Your machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call will be sent to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your machine will work best on a dedicated line. Two-line phone system7 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 mixed 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 separate the line for your machine. (See page 50.)
Chapter 7 60 Converting telephone wall outlets7 There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require help 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. The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triple adapter. Triplex Adapter 7 Installing machine, external two-line TAD and two-line telephone 7 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. 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 need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your external two- line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone. aPut the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your machine. bPlug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine. cPlug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD. dPlug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on the left side of the machine. 1 Triplex Adapter 2 Two Line Phone 3 External Two Line TAD 4 Machine You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the machines wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD. RJ14 RJ11 RJ14 1 2 3 4
Telephone Services and External devices61 7 Multi-line connections (PBX)7 We suggest you ask the company who installed your PBX to connect your machine. If you have a multi line system we suggest you ask the installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the machine being activated each time the system receives telephone calls. If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator we recommend that you set the Receive Mode to Manual. We cannot guarantee t hat your machine will operate properly under all circumstances when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties with sending or receiving faxes should be reported first to the company who handles your PBX. External and extension phones 7 Connecting an external or extension telephone7 You can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your machine as shown in the diagram below. Connect the telephone line cord to the jack labeled EXT. 1 Extension telephone 2 External telephone When you are using an external or extension phone, the LCD shows Telephone (MFC-440CN) or Ext. Tel in Use (MFC-665CW and MFC-845CW). Using external and extension telephones7 If you answer a fax call on an extension or an external telephone connected to the EXT. jack of the machine, you can make your machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code l51 , the machine starts to receive the fax. 1 2
Chapter 7 62 If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 49.) If you answer a call and no one is on the line: 7 You should assume that youre receiving a manual fax. Press l 51 and wait for the chirp or until the LCD shows Receiving , and then hang up. Note You can also use the Easy Receive feature to make your machine automatically take the call. (See Easy Receive on page 50.) Using a Non-Brother cordless external telephone (MFC-440CN and MFC-665CW only)7 If your non-Brother cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the machine and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay. If you let the machine answer first, you will have to go to the machine so you can press Hook or Speaker Phone to send the call to the cordless handset. Using remote codes7 Fax receive code7 If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by dialing the fax receive code l 5 1 . Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. See Easy Receive on page 50. Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax. Telephone answer code7 If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T (double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you pick up the call on an extension phone you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing # 5 1 (make sure you press this between the rings). Changing the remote codes7 The preset Fax Receive Code is l51 . The preset Telephone Answer Code is #51. If you want to, you can replace them with your own codes. aPress Menu. bPress a or b to choose Fax. Press OK. cPress a or b to choose Setup Receive . Press OK. dPress a or b to choose Remote Codes . Press OK. ePress a or b to choose On (or Off ). Press OK. fEnter the new Fax Receive Code. Press OK. gEnter the new Telephone Answer Code. Press OK. hPress Stop/Exit . Note • If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try changing the Fax Receive Code and Telephone Answer Code to another three- digit code (such as ### and 999). • Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems.
