Custom Features
Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID telephone 
services offered by some telephone companies.
Distinctive Ring
The term “Distinctive Ring” is used by Brother to identify a phone company 
service that is given many names, depending on the telephone company you are

Distinctive Ring feature allows the use of more than one number on your 
line, so both Voice Mail and the fax machine can coexist peacefully. If each 
one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s...

MANUAL mode will never pick up a call by itself, since it 
is «Neutral». When the fax machine is in this «neutral» mode, the Distinctive 
Ring Feature can be activated. The Distinctive Ring feature is actually an...
