Your machine supports the Caller ID and
Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone
services that some telephone companies
offer.
Features like VoIP, Voice Mail, Call Waiting,
Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster,
answering services, alarm systems or other
custom features on one telephone line may
create problems with the operation of your
machine. If you have Voice Mail on your
telephone line, please read the following
carefully.
Voice mail 8
If you have voice mail service and your
Brother machine on the same line, they will
conflict with one another when receiving
incoming calls. If you want the Brother
machine to share a single line with your voice
mail, you must either put the Brother machine
in Manual mode or subscribe to your
telephone company’s Distinctive Ring
service.

Mode on page 39.)
(See Distinctive Ring on page 34.)
(See Online User’s Guide: Voice Mail.)
Distinctive Ring 8
Distinctive Ring is a telephone-company
service that allows you to have two different
phone numbers on a single line. Each
telephone number has its own ring pattern.
You can program your Brother machine to
automatically receive faxes on one of the two
numbers.

(See Online User’s Guide: Distinctive
Ring.)

Distinctive Ring Pattern.)

Distinctive Ring.)
Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) 8
VoIP is a phone system that uses an Internet
connection instead of a traditional telephone
line. Telephone providers frequently bundle
VoIP with Internet and cable services.
Your Brother machine may not work with
some VoIP systems.
