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. 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.
Helpful Hints
■ If “# UNAVAILABLE” appears on the display, it means that the call
came from outside your caller ID service area. *
■ If “# WITHHELD” appears on the display, it means the caller
intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *
■ If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, “PICK UP
PHONE” will remain on the display.
* Depends on network Function.
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.
■ Printing the Caller ID List.
You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in
memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller
ID), and type of call (Comment).
NOTE: Please set up the number of rings to more than 02 in the Ring
Delay (see "Setting the Ring Delay" in this chapter) before you
use the Caller ID. If you set up the number of rings to 01, you
cannot receive the Caller ID.
Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call
Reply
You can display the caller IDs that are stored in the memory and select
the caller you want your machine to dial. Call Reply is a convenient
feature whereby your Brother fax can dial back a voice/fax call “on-
hook” to the opposite party associated with a Caller ID number which
has been captured into memory. This saves you from having to copy and
dial back to that number manually. (You can skip to Step 2 below by
pressing the Shift and Tel-Index simultaneously.)
