6 Telephone services and external devices 6 Telephone services 6 Your machine supports the Caller ID and Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone services that some telephone companies offer. Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one telephone line may create problems with the operation of your machine. If you have Voice Mail on your telephone line, please read the following carefully. Voice Mail 6 If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. For example, if your Voice Mail is set to answer after 4 rings and your Brother machine is set to answer after 2 rings, then your Brother machine will answer first. This will prevent callers from being able to leave a message in your Voice Mail. Similarly, if your Brother machine is set to answer after 4 rings and your Voice Mail is set to answer after 2 rings, then your Voice Mail will answer first. This will prevent your Brother machine from being able to receive an incoming fax, since Voice Mail cannot transfer the incoming fax back to the Brother machine. To avoid conflicts between your Brother machine and your Voice Mail service, do one of the following: Get the Distinctive Ring service from your telephone company. Distinctive Ring is a feature of your Brother machine that allows a person with one line to receive fax and voice calls through two different phone numbers on that one line. Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring," but telephone companies market the service under a variety of names, such as Custom Ringing, Personalized Ring, Smart Ring, RingMaster, Ident-A-Ring, IdentA-Call, Data Ident-A-Call, Teen Ring, and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing. This service establishes a second telephone number on the same line as your existing telephone number, and each number has its own ring pattern. Typically, the original number rings with the standard ring pattern and is used for receiving voice calls, and the second number rings with a different ring pattern and is used for receiving faxes. (See Distinctive Ring on page 31.) OR Set your Brother machine's Receive Mode to "Manual". Manual Mode requires that you answer every incoming call if you want to be able to receive a fax. If the incoming call is a telephone call, then complete the call as you normally would. If you hear fax sending tones you must transfer the call to the Brother machine. (See Using external and extension telephones on page 36.) Unanswered fax and voice calls will go to your Voice Mail. (To set the machine in MANUAL Mode, see Choose the correct Receive Mode on page 25.) 30

Telephone services

Your machine supports the Caller ID and

Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone

services that some telephone companies

offer.

Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call

Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering

services, alarm systems or other custom

features on one telephone line may create

problems with the operation of your machine.

If you have Voice Mail on your telephone line,

please read the following carefully.

Voice Mail

If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone

line as your Brother machine, Voice Mail and

the Brother machine will conflict with each

other when receiving incoming calls.

For example, if your Voice Mail is set to

answer after 4 rings and your Brother

machine is set to answer after 2 rings, then

your Brother machine will answer first. This

will prevent callers from being able to leave a

message in your Voice Mail.

Similarly, if your Brother machine is set to

answer after 4 rings and your Voice Mail is set

to answer after 2 rings, then your Voice Mail

will answer first. This will prevent your Brother

machine from being able to receive an

incoming fax, since Voice Mail cannot

transfer the incoming fax back to the Brother

machine.

To avoid conflicts between your Brother

machine and your Voice Mail service, do one

of the following:

Get the Distinctive Ring service from your

telephone company. Distinctive Ring is a

feature of your Brother machine that allows a

person with one line to receive fax and voice

calls through two different phone numbers on

that one line. Brother uses the term

“Distinctive Ring,” but telephone companies

market the service under a variety of names,

such as Custom Ringing, Personalized Ring,

Smart Ring, RingMaster, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-

A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call, Teen Ring, and

SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing.

This service establishes a second telephone

number on the same line as your existing

telephone number, and each number has its

own ring pattern. Typically, the original

number rings with the standard ring pattern

and is used for receiving voice calls, and the

second number rings with a different ring

pattern and is used for receiving faxes. (See

Distinctive Ring

on page 31.)

Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to

“Manual”. Manual Mode requires that you

answer every incoming call if you want to be

able to receive a fax. If the incoming call is a

telephone call, then complete the call as you

normally would. If you hear fax sending tones

you must transfer the call to the Brother

machine. (See

Using external and extension

telephones

on page 36.) Unanswered fax

and voice calls will go to your Voice Mail. (To

set the machine in

MANUAL

Mode, see

Choose the correct Receive Mode

on page 25.)
