The correct Receive Mode for you is determined by the external devices and telephone

subscriber services (Voice Mail, Distinctive Ring and so on) you will be using on the same line as

the Brother machine.

Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?

Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but different telephone companies may have other

names for this service such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring,

Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate

Number Ringing. See Related Information: Distinctive Ring

Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?

If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong

possibility that Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving

incoming calls. See Related Information: Voice Mail

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

Mode as your receive mode. See Related Information: Connection of an External Telephone

Answering Device (TAD)

Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?

Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Select Fax Only Mode as your

receive mode. See Related Information: Receive Modes

Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?

• Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?

The Fax/Tel Mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the

same line. Select Fax/Tel Mode as your receive mode. See Related Information: Receive

Modes

Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an

answering machine if you selected the Fax/Tel Mode.

• Do you expect to receive very few faxes?

Choose Manual Mode as your receive mode. You control the telephone line and must

answer every call yourself. See Related Information: Receive Modes

Press (Settings) > All Settings > Fax > Setup Receive > Receive Mode.

If you cannot change the Receive Mode option, make sure the Distinctive Ring feature is

set to Off.
