B

Cannot receive a fax.

(continued)

If you are using a telephone answering machine (

External TAD

mode) on the

same line as the Brother machine, make sure your answering machine is set up
correctly (see Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device)
on page 51
).

1

Plug the telephone line cord directly from the wall telephone jack to your
Brother machine’s LINE jack.

2

Remove the protective cap from your Brother machine’s EXT jack, and then
plug the telephone line cord from your answering machine into the EXT jack.

3

Set your answering machine to answer within 4 rings.

If you are having problems receiving faxes or voice messages, set your
answering machine to answer within 2 or 3 rings.

4

Record the outgoing message on your answering machine.

Record five seconds of silence at the beginning of your outgoing
message.

Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

End your outgoing message with your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep, leave a message or
press l51 and Start to send a fax.”

5

Set your answering machine to answer calls.

6

Set your Brother machine’s Receive Mode to

External TAD

(see Receive

Mode settings on page 41).

Make sure your Brother machine’s Easy Receive feature is turned On. Easy
Receive is a feature that allows you to receive a fax even if you answered the call
on an external or extension telephone (see Easy Receive on page 42).

If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone
line, try changing the Compatibility setting to

Basic(for VoIP)

(see Telephone

line interference / VoIP on page 132).
