How Does the Caller ID Work?
The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings
As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number. If the callers name is
stored in your machine as a Speed Dial, or One Touch dial, the callers name will be displayed. Once
you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the
number on the display.
The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine’s Memory
The machine can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along with the
time and date of reception. The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.
The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the following.
■ Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call Reply.
You can scroll through the Caller IDs on the display and select one for your machine to dial.

Calling line identification signals are not generally delivered to your Brother fax
machine if it is connected behind a private branch exchange (PBX) system or
other call routing device.

If “

blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *
