Set Telephone Line Compatibility for Interference and VoIP Systems Related Models: MFC-L5700DW/MFC-L5800DW/MFC-L5850DW/ MFC-L5900DW/MFC-L6700DW/MFC-L6800DW Problems sending and receiving faxes due to possible interference on the telephone line may be solved by reducing the modem speed to minimize errors in fax transmission. If you are using a Voice over IP (VoIP) service, Brother recommends changing the compatibility to Basic (for VoIP). • VoIP is a type of phone system that uses an Internet connection, rather than a traditional phone line. • Telephone providers frequently bundle VoIP together with Internet and cable services. 1 Press [Settings] > [All Settings] > [Initial Setup] > [Compatibility]. 2 Press the option you want. • Select [High] to set the modem speed to 33600 bps. • Select [Normal] to set the modem speed to 14400 bps. • Select [Basic(for VoIP)] to reduce the modem speed to 9600 bps and turn off Error Correction Mode (ECM). Unless interference is a recurring problem on your telephone line, you may prefer to use this option only when needed. 3 Press . Receive Modes Related Models: MFC-L5700DW/MFC-L5800DW/MFC-L5850DW/ MFC-L5900DW/MFC-L6700DW/MFC-L6800DW Some receive modes answer automatically (Fax Only Mode and Fax/Tel Mode). You may want to change the Ring Delay before using these modes. Fax Only Mode ([Fax] or [Fax Only] in the machine's menu) Fax Only Mode automatically answers every call as a fax. Fax/Tel Mode ([Fax/Tel] in the machine's menu) Fax/Tel Mode helps you manage incoming calls, by recognizing whether they are fax or voice calls and handling them in the following ways: • Faxes will be received automatically. • Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you to pick up the call. The F/T ring is a fast pseudo/double-ring made by your machine. See Related Information: External and Extension Telephones. Manual Mode ([Manual] in the machine's menu) Manual Mode turns off all automatic answering operations unless you are using the Distinctive Ring Receive feature. To receive a fax in Manual Mode, lift the handset of the external telephone connected to the machine or press [Fax] and then [Hook]. When you hear fax tones (short repeating beeps), press [Fax Start] and then [Receive] to receive a fax. Use the Easy Receive feature to receive faxes when you have lifted a handset on the same line as the machine. Related Information • Fax and Telephone Problems on page 50 30
