Connecting an External Telephone
Your machine 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 machine.
Connect the modular plug on the telephoneÕs line cord to the jack labeled
EXT. on the left side of the machine.
Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN
USE, and, if the machine handset is lifted, an alarm sounds. To disconnect
the call on the external phone and switch to the machine, press 
Hook.
Connecting an External TAD
(Telephone Answering Device)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an answering system.  When you have an
external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD
answers all calls. The machine ÒlistensÓ for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it
hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it
doesnÕt 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 8Ð10 seconds of CNG tones
left for the fax Òhandshake.Ó  Make sure you carefully follow the
instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing message. We do
not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering
machine if it exceeds 4 rings.
Connections
The external TAD must be plugged into the left side of the machine in the
jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if you plug the
TAD into a wall jack.
 
If You Subscribe to your Telephone CompanyÕs Distinctive Ring Service:
You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you
subscribe to your telephone companyÕs Distinctive Ring service, have
registered the distinctive ring pattern on your machine, use that number as
a fax number and set your machineÕs Answer mode to MANUAL.
 
If You Do NOT Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service:
You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your Brother machine. If
your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will
try to control the phone line. (See illustration on page 2-10.) 
						

							ASSEMBLY AND  CONNECTIONS2 - 11
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line.
1Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the
machine in the jack labeled LINE.
2Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the
machine in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the
TAD at the TADÕs telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)
3Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machineÕs Ring Delay
setting does not apply).
4Record the outgoing message. (See below.)
5Set the Answer Mode to TAD by pressing Mode until both FAX and
FAX/TEL lights are on.
Recording Outgoing Message (OGM)
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 machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic
transmissions before they stop.)
2Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. (See Easy Receive, page 5-3.)
3End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example: ÒAfter the beep, leave a message or
send a fax by pressing 
 5 1 and Start.Ó
 
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 rerecord the OGM to include it.

Special Line Considerations
Roll Over Phone Lines
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 Òrolled overÓ 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 would be transferred to a line that
does not have a fax machine. Your machine will work best on a dedicated
line.
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 separate the line for your machine.
Converting Telephone Wall  Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. The first two ways
may require assistance 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 triplex adapter.

Installing 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 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 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.
1Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your
machine.
2Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the L2
jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the
left side of the machine.
3Plug 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.
4Plug 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.

External TADFAX/MFC
You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There
are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the machineÕs 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. 
						

							ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS2 - 14
Multi-Line Connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively
simple to connect the 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 machine for you. It is
advisable to have a separate line for the machine. You can then leave the
machine in FAX mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
If the machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer
to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit
from being activated each time a telephone call is received.
As with all fax units, this machine must be connected to a two wire
system. If your line has more than two wires, proper connection of the
machine cannot be made.
If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX:
1It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first
to the company that handles your PBX.
2If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is
recommended that the Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming
calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3The machine may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone
service.
