Easy Receive
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you answer a
fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait a few
seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the fax screen or when you hear
“chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another
wall jack, just replace the handset, and your machine does the rest.
Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even
if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting SEMI
lets the machine receive the call only if you’ve answered it at the Brother
machine. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the machine
yourself, by pressing
Start —OR—by pressing 5 1 if you are not at the
machine.
If you’ve set this feature to ON, but your machine doesn’t automatically
connect a fax call when you lift an external or extension phone handset,
press the Fax Receive code
5 1 . At the machine, lift the handset and
press Start . (See Operation from External or Extension Telephones and
For FAX/TEL Mode Only, page 5-7.)
If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and your
Brother machine intercepts them, set Easy Receive to OFF.
