6 Receiving a fax 6 Choose the correct Receive Mode 6 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. Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes? Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but other telephone companies 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 47 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 46 for instructions on setting up your machine using this service. 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 External TAD as your receive mode. See External TAD on page 41. 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 41. Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?
