Brother MFC 8600 Fax Machine User Manual


 
ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
2 - 11
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line.
1
Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the
machine in the jack labeled LINE.
2
Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the
machine in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the
TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)
3
Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machine’s Ring Delay
setting does not apply).
4
Record the outgoing message. (See below.)
5
Set the Answer Mode to TAD by pressing
Mode
until both FAX and
FAX/TEL lights are on.
Recording Outgoing Message (OGM)
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the
ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This
allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic
transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. (See Easy Receive, page 5-3.)
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep, leave a message or
send a fax by pressing
5 1 and Start.”
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence
because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice.
You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble
receiving, then you must rerecord the OGM to include it.
