SETUP RECEIVE 5 - 13
Do you have Voice Mail?
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that you will install your new
fax machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the
fax machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming
calls
. However, this Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use
more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the
fax machine can work together without any problems. If each
one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the
other’s operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone
company, you will need to follow the directions below to ‘register’ the
new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your fax
machine can recognize its incoming calls.
Before you choose the ring pattern to register
You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax
machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns
below are supported by the Brother fax machine. Register the one
your telephone company gives you.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any
time. You can switch it off temporarily, and turn it back on later.
When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this
feature.
