About fax machines
Fax tones and handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones 
(CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. 
You will hear them after you dial and press 
Start and they will 
continue for about 60 seconds after dialing. During that time, the 
sending machine must begin the “handshake”, or connection, with 
the receiving machine.
Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are 
sending CNG tones over the...

ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC to check a 
fax transmission while it is in progress. If the MFC detects errors 
during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that had an 
error. ECM transmissions are only possible between fax machines 
that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax 
messages that are continuously being checked by the MFC.
Your MFC must have enough memory for this feature to work.

Connecting the MFC
Connecting an external telephone
Your MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular 
phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone (or 
telephone answering device) directly to your MFC.
Connect the telephone’s line cord to the socket labeled EXT. on the 
back side of the MFC.
When this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows 
Ext. Tel in Use, and, if the fax handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. 
To disconnect a call on the external phone...

Connecting an external telephone answering 
device (TAD)
Sequence
You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when 
you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the MFC, 
the TAD answers all calls and the MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) 
tones. If it hears them, the MFC takes over the call and receives the 
fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the MFC lets the TAD continue 
playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice 
message.
The TAD...

Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the back of the MFC, into the 
socket labeled EXT. Your MFC cannot work properly if you plug the 
TAD into a wall socket (unless you are using Distinctive Ring).
1Plug the telephone line cord from the wall socket into the back 
of the MFC, in the socket labeled LINE.
2Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the 
back of the MFC, in the socket labeled EXT. (Make sure this 
cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s...

Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up 
the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. 
(This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of 
automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3End your 20-second message by giving your Remote Activation 
Code for people sending manual faxes....
