If you do not want to answer every call

manually to determine whether it's a voice

call or a fax, contact your telephone

provider and ask about Distinctive Ring

services.

Will you be using a Telephone Answering

Device on the same telephone line as your

Brother machine?

Your external telephone answering device

(TAD) will answer every call automatically.

Voice messages are stored on the external

TAD and fax messages are printed. Select

[External TAD] as your Receive Mode.

Will you be using your Brother machine on

a dedicated fax line?

Your machine automatically answers every

call as a fax. Select [Fax Only] as your
