45 6 6 Receive Modes6 Choose the correct Receive Mode6 The correct Receive mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services (Voice Mail, Distinctive Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the Brother machine. Receiving a Fax6 Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes? Brother uses the term “Distinctive Ring” but different telephone companies may have other names for this service such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing. See Distinctive Ring on page 66 for instruction on setting up your machine using this feature. Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine? If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. See Voice Mail on page 65 for instructions on setting up your machine using this service. Will you be using the Built-in Message Center? Your Brother machine has a built-in digital Message Center that allows you to store incoming voice or fax messages. See Setting up the Message Center on page 83. Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother machine? Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose Manual as your receive mode. See Manual on page 47. Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line? Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your receive mode. See Fax only on page 47. Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone? Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically? The Fax/Tel receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the same line. Choose Fax/Tel as your receive mode. See Fax/Tel on page 47. Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine with the Fax/Tel mode. Do you expect to receive very few faxes? Choose Manual as your receive mode. You control the telephone line and must answer every call yourself. See Manual on page 47.

Fax only6 Fax only mode will automatically answer every call as a fax call. Fax/Tel6 Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically manage incoming calls, by recognizing whether they are fax or voice calls and handling 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 pseudo/double-ring made by your machine. (Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 48 and Ring Delay on page 48.) Manual6 Manual mode turns off all automatic answering functions unless you are using the Distinctive Ring feature or an external telephone answering device (TAD). To receive a fax in manual mode lift the handset of the machine or an external telephone. When you hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press Black Start or Color Start . You can also use the Easy Receive feature to receive faxes by lifting a handset on the same line as the machine. (Also see Easy Receive on page 49.) Message Center ( MC)6 Message Center ( MC) helps you automatically manage incoming calls, by recognizing whether they are fax or voice calls and handling them in one of the following ways: „ Faxes will be automatically received. „ Voice callers can record a message.

Chapter 6 48 Receive mode settings6 Ring Delay6 The Ring Delay sets the number of times the machine rings before it answers in Fax Only or Fax/Tel mode.

If you hear the F/T Ring it means that you have a voice caller on the line.
