Machines

This section is for people who are using a fax machine for the first time. Its purpose is tO take away
the mystery. Once you understand
the meaning of the new tones you will be hearing on your phone
line, you will be able to send and receive faxes with ease. This will help you troubleshoot
an
occasional
problem with a fax transmission,
by listening
through
your one-way speaker
to
discover the problem.

What Are Fax Tones?
First the sending
machine
sends CNG tones,
soft intermittent
beeps at 4 second
intervals.
You will hear then] when you dial and press the START key. CNG stands for "calling"
tones. They continue for 30 seconds after dialing: during that time the sending machine must
begin the "handshake"
with the receiving machine. Each time you send an "automatic"
fax
transmission, you are sending calling tones over the phone line. Learn to listen for these soft beeps
each time you answer a phone on your fax line so you will know if you are receiving a fax message.
Then the receiving
machine
responds
with fax receiving
tones, loud chirping
sounds.
When a machine begins the receiving mode cycle, it will chirp for 40 seconds over the phone line.
At the same time, the fax machine's display screen will say "receiving". If you set your machine
to AUTO answer mode for a dedicated fax line, it will answer every call automatically
with fax
receiving tones. Sometimes people will call your fax line by mistake and hang up when they hear
the shrill chirping sounds. Your machine is not malfunctioning
when it continues
to say
"receiving"; it must complete its 40 second cycle, even though the call was not a fax message and
the caller hung up. To take your machine out of receiving mode, press the STOP key.
The fax machine
answers
with a short beep when it answers in F/T or Message Center mode.
This can not be changed. After the beep the fax machine listens for CNG tones. When it hears CNG
tones, it responds with receiving tones.

Why Does the Ring

Change

in FIT Mode?

When a double-ring
(short, short) occurs after the normal
long rings in the Fax/Tel
Switch (Ffr mode), it means your fax machine
is telling you to take over a call. The fax
machine has answered either a telephone call or a manual fax (no calling tones). When you hear
the double-ring,
pick up any extension
phone
or the handset
of your fax machine.

'it'":.

1-1

,'. SETUP& PREPARATION BEFORE USE

What

is the Fax "Handshake"?

The calling machine sends CNG tones (beeps) and the receiving machine sends receiving tones
(chirps). During the handshake
these tones must overlap for 2-4 seconds so the fax machines can
set up protocol. The sending machine states how it is sending the message; the receiving machine
answers whether it is capable of receiving that way. The sending machine's CNG tones continue
for only 30 seconds after the number is dialed. Calls must be answered
within 4 rings (20-22
seconds) or less, because the handshake
can not begin until the call is answered.
With 4 rings,
only 8-10 seconds are left for the fax machines
to hear their tones clearly and communicate.
Timing
is crucial.
When you have a telephone answering
device (TAD) on your fax line, you can set the TAD to
answer in 4 rings as long as you record a 5 second silence as the beginning of your OGM (outgoing
message) (see page 7-14 for more information.).
This will prevent the OGM from covering up the
fax tones during the 8 seconds that are left for the handshake.
As soon as your TAD answers a
call, your fax machine will listen for fax tones for 30 seconds. So you must limit your speaking to
20 seconds (25 second total OGM). Since many people dial manually without realizing they are
not sending fax tones, you should give your Remote Activation Code (_<51) as the last part of your
20 second Message. For example: "After the beep, either leave a message or send a fax by pressing
_<51." (See page 7-11 for more information.)

What

Causes

the Transmission

Verification

Report

to Print

"Result:

NG"?

During the handshake,
the document(s) you are sending begin to roll through the feeder and stop
until the handshake
is completed and the machines are ready to send and receive the data. If there
is noise or static on the phone line or if the machines do not agree on protocol, they drop their baud
rate to the next lower level and try again. The initial baud rate is 14400, then 12000, 9600, 7200,
4800 and finally 2400. (The Fax 1350M begins at 9600 baud.) Transmissions
as low as 2400 baud
can be successful.
So, do not stop your machine.
If the transmission
fails, a Transmission
Verification
Report will be printed automatically
with "Result: NG". This usually means the
transmission
was "No Good" because of temporary
noise or static on the phone line. Try to send
the fax again. Also, you may try sending a fax to other locations to see if the problem is on the phone
line at your end.

Is This a Fax Call?
There are three signs that the call you answered is a fax. You will hear either soft intermittent
beeps (Automatic
transmission),
silence (Manual transmission)
or the voice of someone telling
you he or she is trying to send you a fax (Manual transmission).
Do not hang up the handset.
It is very frustrating
for the person who hears you repeatedly
answer and hang up. People who
dial manually
are waiting to hear fax tones before pressing
START. You must activate your fax
machine to take over the call before you disconnect the line by replacing
the handset.

SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE

How

Can

I Send

the

Call

to My Fax

Machine?

When you answer a call that is a fax transmission,
you must activate your fax machine to go into
fax receiving tones (chirping) before you hang up. If you have answered the fax handset, press the
START key and hang up immediately.
If you are on another phone, there is no START key so you
must press your three-digit
Remote Activation Code. The factory default setting is $51. Press the
code quickly
and wait to hear your fax machine chirp through the handset. It takes 3 seconds for
the fax to respond. You can press the code as many times as needed.

What is the Difference

Between

Automatic

and Manual

Transmission?

Automatic
transmission
is the easiest way to send a fax. Simply place the document(s)
face
down in the feeder, dial the phone number and press the START key immediately.
Do not pick
up the handset
or press the HOOK key. Calling tones will go over the phone line.
Manual transmission
occurs when you start with a dial tone before you dial, by lifting the
handset or pressing the HOOK key. You will hear the rings on the phone line. You must wait to
hear the receiving machine answer with a chirp before you press the START key. If you wait too
long to press START without a document in the feeder, your fax machine will go into receiving mode
instead of sending and you will see "receiving" on the screen.

What

is the Difference

Between

Automatic

and Manual

Dialing?

Automatic
dialing
is when you dial by pressing the keys where you stored a number. Your fax
machine stores two kinds of automatic
dialing numbers: One-Touch
and Speed-Dial.
Reserve
your most frequently
dialed numbers (and Groups) for your One-Touch keys; all you have to do is
press the One-Touch key followed by the START key (2 key strokes). To use a Speed-Dial
number,
press the Speed-Dial
key and the two-digit code you used to store the number, followed by the
START key (4 key strokes). You can dial automatically
using One-Touch and Speed-Dial numbers
for both automatic
and manual transmissions.
Manual dialing
is simply pressing all the digits of the phone number.
both automatic
and manual transmissions.

What Should

I Do If My Fax Machine

Does Not Have

You can dial manually

a Dial

for

Tone?

There are three jacks in the back of the fax machine: LINE, EXT and PC I/F. Double-check
that
the telephone
line cord is plugged into the LINE jack and not into EXT or PC I/F. (Plugging the
telephone line cord into the EXT or PC I/F jack is the most common cause of no dial tone.)
If the telephone line cord is plugged into the LINE jack of the fax machine and you do not get a dial
tone, test the phone line. Go to another phone and check for a dial tone; then bring that working
telephone and line cord and plug them into the wall jack for your fax machine. If you do not get a
dial tone with the working phone, the problem is the phone line. Call the Telephone Company and
report the problem.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Roll

Over Phone

Lines

A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or
"rolled over" to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your fax
number
on any of
received,

machine
can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last
in the sequence so the call can not roll away. Do not put the fax machine
the other numbers. When the other lines are busy and a second fax call is
the fax call is transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine.

Two Line Phone

System

A two line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on the same
wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJll) or combined into
one jack (RJ14). Your fax machine must be plugged into an RJll jack. RJll and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance
and both may contain 4 wires (black, red,
green, yellow). To test the type ofjack, plug in a two line phone and see if it can access
both lines. If it can, you must separate the lines for your fax machine.

Converting

Telephone

Wall

Outlets

There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle.
The first two ways may
require assistance
from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlet from
one RJ 14 jack to two RJ 11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ 11 wall outlet installed and
slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it. The third way is the easiest. Buy a
triplex adapter.
You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 wall outlet. It will separate the wires into
two separate RJll jacks (line 1, line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (lines 1 and 2). Plug the
fax machine into L2 of the triplex adapter.

Telephone

When you are installing
a two line telephone answering
device (TAD) and a two line
telephone, your fax machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the fax machine on line 2. The back
of the two line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1 and L2 and
the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords: the one that
came with your fax machine and two for your two line TAD. You will need a fourth
line cord if you add a two line telephone.
Place the two line TAD and two line telephone beside your fax machine. Plug one end
of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the L2jack of the triplex adapter;
plug the other end into the LINE jack in the back of the fax machine. Plug one end
of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter;
plug the other end into the L1 or L1 and L2 jack in the back of the two line TAD. Plug
one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack in the back
of the two line TAD; plug the other end into the EXT jack in the back of the fax
machine. The two line TAD hookup is complete. It will answer both lines as usual.
You can keep two line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways
to add a two line telephone to the fax machine's wall outlet. Plug the telephone line
cord from the two line telephone
into the LI+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. If you
prefer, you can plug it into the TELE jack in the back of the two line TAD instead.

SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Multi

Line

Connections

(PBXs)

Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively
simple to
connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (private branch exchange), we suggest
that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to
connect the fax machine for you.
It is advisable
to have a separate
line for the fax machine. You can then leave the
machine in AUTO Answer Mode to receive faxes at any time of the day or night.
If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line
system, ask your installer
to
connect the unit to the last line on the system. This will prevent the unit from being
activated
each time a telephone call is received.
• As with all fax units this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If your
line has more than two wires, proper connection of the fax machine can not be
made.

1) It is not guaranteed
that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances

operator,
it is recommended that the Answer Mode be set to be MANUAL. (See page 7-2.) All incoming
calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.

we have the following

Read through this table to gain a basic understanding
of what your new fax nmdel can do, and

Dialing

Chain dialing is used to store a very long dialing sequence. You can spread the
number over two or more keys if you register the first key(s) in the sequence as type
"Chain". Chain tells the system that the dialing
sequence
is not completed
and that there is more to follow. The last key in the sequence must be any other
dial type (either FAX, TEL or F/T). You can use any combination
of One-Touch,
Speed-Dial and manually
dialed numbers in a chain.
If you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence, store a
pause at that point in the number by pressing the PAUSE/REDIAL
key. (If you need
a pause that is longer than 3.5 seconds, call our Fax Diagnostic Center at 1-800-2844329 (USA), 1-800-853-6660
(CANADA) for assistance.)
Only one pause can be
stored
in each One-Touch

number.

Chain dialing makes using access codes easy. Sometimes you may want to choose
from among several long-distance
carriers when you make a call; rates may vary
depending
upon the time and destination.
To take advantage
of low rates, you can
store the access code of a long-distance
carrier as you would a regular number and
register it as a "chain" number. Then to dial, press this (access code) number followed
by the regular number and START.
You can set up chain dialing for phone/credit
card numbers, the same way. However,
when using chain dialing,
do NOT send a cover page because
your credit
card number
will be on it.

Storing

Speed-Dial

Numbers

When you store a phone or fax number as a Speed-Dial
number, you must enter a two-digit
number,
from 01 to 60 for FAX 1350M, 1450MC and MFC 1850MC and from 01 to 00 for FAX
1550MC and MFC 1950MC using the number keys. For example, you cannot enter "5". You must
enter"05".
You can store as many as 60 numbers (FAX 1350M/1450MC
and MFC 1850MC) or 100
numbers (FAX 1550MC and MFC 1950MC)as Speed-Dial
numbers.

has pushed its START button, you will be able to send your fax by pressing your
START key and putting the handset back down in its cradle. (If you call and all
you hear is the chirping sound of a fax machine, you can go ahead and press your
START key, and then put down the handset.)
2) Automatic

You can send a fax without picking up the handset or without
by dialing the fax number and then pressing START.

What

is Remote

Activation?

If you answer a call that is a fax message, you can use the Remote Activation Code to make your
fax machine take over the call. If your fax machine answers a telephone call that is for you, you
can use the Remote Deactivation
Code to pick up the call at an extension phone. (You do not need
a code to take over a call at the fax machine.) You must use a touch tone phone.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Connecting

an External

or Extension

Telephone

You may connect an external telephone to your fax machine, as shown below. Use the
"EXT." jack on your fax machine. Alternately,
you may wish to use this "EXT." jack
to connect a telephone answering
device (TAD). An extension phone is a telephone
that is plugged into a separate
wall jack on the same line.

If the external telephone is in use, the warning message "EXT. TEL IN USE" will be

You can disconnect

RECEIVING FAXESAND OTHERCALLS REMOTEACTIVATION
Using

the Activation

Code:

When you are at the fax machine,
you will probably answer incoming calls before your fax
machine or answering
machine is programmed
to pick up. If you answer
a call and no one
seems to be on the line, assume
it is a fax message.
Do not hang up. You must activate your
fax machine to take over the call first. (If you are holding the fax handset,just
press START and
hang up.) If you are on an extension/external
phone, press ,51 and wait for your fax machine
to respond
before you hang up. After 3 seconds you will hear receiving tones (chirps) through
the handset of extension phone. Then hang up. You can repeat the code as many times as needed.
Your fax machine will take over the call and print the fax message. If your caller wants to talk
before sending the fax, you can have a conversation
first and then activate your fax machine with
the code.
The Remote Activation
Code can also be used by your callers. When you are using a TAD, your
outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement
"to send a fax, press .51". (See the
section on Connecting
a Telephone
Answering Device for more information.)
Using

the Deactivation

Code:

When your fax machine is in Ffr mode, sometimes it will answer a call that is not fax calling tones
(a telephone call or manual fax). It will respond with a double ring (short, short) to alert you to
take over. Because it has already answered the call, only the fax machine will ring, extension
phones are no longer connected to the call. Pick up any phone except external phone on the line.
To take over the call at the fax machine:
Pick up the handset of the fax machine and talk to the caller as usual. If no one is there or someone
is trying to send you a manual
fax, press the START key and replace the handset.
Your fax
machine will display "receiving" and print the incoming fax message.
To take over the call at an extension

phone:

Pick up the handset on another telephone and press #51 quickly during the silence between
the double ring pattern.
When the fax machine hears the code it will stop ringing and let you
speak with the caller. If no one is on the line or someone is trying to send you a manual fax, send
the call back to the fax machine (.51).

Making

the Remote

Codes

Easier

to Use

You can change the codes at any time. It may be easier for you and your callers to press the _amc
key three times (Example: *** and ###). Although you can change the codes to any numbers you
want, try to avoid using digits for the Activation Code. The Remote Activation Code can not match
any number you dial. If you try to dial a phone number that includes the Activation Code, your
fax machine will go into receiving mode.

Troubleshooting
Somenmes
other equipment
on your phone hne rese_-ces a key that is in the Activation or
Deactivation code. (Some answering machines reserve the "*" key.) If the code you use to retrieve
messages from your answering
machine causes the line to be disconnected,
try changing the
Remote Codes. Change *51 to ### and #51 to 999. The Remote Activation and Deactivation
Codes

There is only one way you can hook up a Telephone Answering Device (TAD) on the fax phone line.
The TAD must be plugged into the back of the fax machine in the jack labeled EXT. Your fax
machine can not work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack. Follow these steps:
1. Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back of the fax machine in the jack
labeled LINE.
2. Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the back of the fax machine in the jack labeled
EXT. (Double check that the telephone line cord comes from the jack in the TAD for telephone
line and not for telephone set.)
3. Put your fax machine in TAD mode by turning both the AUTO and F/T lights on.
4. Set your TAD to 4 rings or less. (The fax machine's
Ring Delay setting does not apply).
5. Turn the TAD's Answer mode to ON.

Ringing

What Is Distinctive

Ringing?

Distinctive ringing is a service offered by the telephone carriers that allows you to have several
different numbers on one phone line, each with it own distinctive ringing pattern. This way, when
you get an incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring. Your local telephone
company can provide more information
about this service. The service is usually offered as a
monthly charge to your normal telephone bill.

Can My Fax Machine

Use Distinctive

Ringing?

Yes, it has a distinctive ringing function that allows you to register the distinctive ringing pattern
of an additional phone number on the line (See page 7-17-18). The number you register must be
the number you want to use as your dedicated fax number. Once you register the ringing pattern,
the fax machine will be able to identify its own incoming calls and automatically
receive faxes at
that number. You can register only one ringing pattern. There are some ringing patterns that can
not be registered.

Can I Change

the Setting

Yes, you can change

Other

Distinctive

Ringing?

It will act the way it normally
does. In other words, the fax machine will treat all the other
unregistered,
distinctive
rings according
to the machine's
answer mode setting (MANUAL,
AUTO, F/T, or TAD). For instance, ifa call comes in that is not for your (registered)
dedicated fax
number, and the machine is set to MANUAL, the fax machine will respond as per the MANUAL
mode.

How Does

the Distinctive

Ringing

Function

Work ?

When you receive an incoming call, the fax machine compares the ring pattern with the one that
is registered.
If the two are identical, then the fax machine automatically
accepts the call as an
incoming fax. Otherwise,
the fax machine will treat the call in the usual way, depending on the
machine's
answer mode setting (MANUAL, AUTO, F/T, or TAD (1350M)fMSG
CTR (1450MC/
1550MC, 1850MC/1950MC)).
The function has 3 modes: (ON, SET, OFF). Set it to ON when you
want to use it, and to OFF when you do not want to use it. Use the SET mode for registering
a
number.

Helpful Hints

If You Do Not Have a Distinctive
Ringing Service...
Your phone carrier can give you more information
about it. If you are not
currently
using a distinctive
ringing
service,
don't try to set up your
distinctive
ring feature.
It may cause your machine
to malfunction.
If
your phone carrier provides this service and you decide to use it, it's a good idea
to use one of the new numbers you receive as your fax number and keep the old
number for it's original
purpose.
Remember
to tell your customers
and
colleagues your new fax number.
If You Already
Have a Distinctive
Ringing
Service...
It is a good idea to register the ring pattern of your existing dedicated fax
number. Use the registration mode under the distinctive ringing function. You
will not be able to use the fax machine's distinctive
ringing feature until this
pattern has been registered.
(See this page.)

Setting

the Distinctive

Ringing

Function

If you currently
have a distinctive
ringing service (a telephone service that provides you with
multiple numbers, each with a distinctive ring, on one line), you can register any one of the ring
patterns
of your line with your fax machine so that it can immediately
identify a call as an
incoming fax by the distinctive ring pattern it uses. You also will need to arrange to have someone
call your fax machine to set the distinctive ring number (step 7).
You may have difficulty
registering
a distinctive

if your fax machine

POLLING
8. POLLING
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
What Is Polling?
Polling is the process of retrieving
faxes from another fax machine. You may use
your machine to "poll" other machines, or you may ask someone to poll your machine.
The party who polls pays for the cost of the call.

How Does It Work ?
First all parties set up their fax machines so that they can accommodate
polling.
Then one party leaves documents in the fax machine so that the other party can call
and have the documents
sent to them.

Polling side_--_

c.,,

PO,

9
Receive

When

document

to Use Polling?

Use polling

to control

the cost of who pays for sending

a fax.

1. If you want to pay for the cost of the call: Send out faxes to other parties as you
normally would, and if another party has documents
to send you, ask if you can
poll for them.
2. If you want others to pay for the cost of the call: Ask them to poll your fax machine
for documents
they want, and have them fax any documents
that you want.
* There

are some fax machines

that

will not respond

to the polling function.

Helpful Hints Using

Polling Effectively
(Examples)
Problem
No. 1: You want another party to send you a long fax, but the3, do not
want to pay for the call.
Solution:
Ask them to leave the document in their fax machine so you can
poll for it.
Problem
No. 2: Sales representatives
have difficulty sending in faxes to the
head office's fax machine because it is busy so much of the time
Solution:
Head office can poll the sales representatives'
fax machines.
Problem
No. 3: Because of the time or location, it is cheaper for someone else to
call you than it is for you to make the call.
Solution:
Ask the other party to poll for the documents and offer to pay for
the call at their lower rate.

PASSWORD
9. PASSWORD
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
What Is Password?
The password is provided for use in a closed network of fax machines.
It will prevent
reception of"junk faxes" that can interfere with your daily operations.
It can also
help you avoid the transmission
of faxes to the unauthorized
parties.

How Does the Password

Work?

First the receiving party sets up "SET PASSWORD" to "ON" and then enters a fourdigit password.
When you send a fax message, you must enter the same four-digit password.
If the
four-digit password is the same for both the sending and receiving machines, you will
be able to send and receive messages.
Also, both machines should be a Brother (or
compatible
brand).
When

to Use Password

Plus?

If you have activated
the password function, only people who have set the correct
password code on their Brother fax machine can exchange faxes with your machine.
To help avoid difficulties,
you can use the Password
Plus feature.
It prevents
reception of"junk faxes". If you choose "Password Plus" in "SET PASSWORD", your
machine will receive not only faxes sent by parties using your password but also faxes
sent without your password, only if the sending machine's number is registered
as
one of your One-Touch numbers. (Your machine compares the last four-digits of the
sending fax machine's
number to numbers listed in your One-Touch keys.) If this
is case, the sending machine need not be Brother fax machine.)

The Message Center Memory has two modes for different uses: the Message Center Mode anti the
Message Center Pro Mode. The Message Center Mode allows you to store the incoming fax/voice
messages
into a flexible memory.
Fax Retrieval,
Paging and Fax Forwarding
features
are
available
in this mode. The Message Center Pro Mode is an additional
enhancement
to the
Message
Center Mode, and provides
the Fax-on-Demand,
Voice-on-Demand
and Personal
Mailbox features. This chapter explains how the standard Message Center Mode performs. (The
Message Center Pro Mode is explained in chapter 12.)

The Message Center is a large flexible memory to more effechvely
manage your voice and thx
messages, while you are out.
This flexible memory can be used for voice messages, fax messages or a combination
that stores
both types on a "first come, first served" basis. Any fax or voice message that is stored in the
memory can be retrieved from a remote location.

which must be plugged into the
EXT jack of the fax machine.
The EXT TAD will answer all
your calls; retrieve voice messages from it as usual. Paging
for voice messages is not available.

Use this mode when you need all
your Message
Center memory
for fax messages or if you prefer
the sound quality of a tape recorder for your voice messages.

3) FAX : ON

Voice calls will not be stored.

Use this mode when you do not
need to receive voice messages.

4) FAX : OFF
TAD : ON

Fax messages
will be received
only on paper, but will not be
stored in the memory. Voice calls

in the Message Center or if you
prefer the sound quality of a
tape recorder.

6) FAX : OFF
TAD : OFF

Fax messages
will be received
only on paper, but will not be
stored in the memory. Voice calls
will not be stored in the memory

Setting the Message Storage is the first step in turning on the Message Center Mode.
Before you set the Message Storage, make sure you carefully read the "Mode Settings at a Glance"
(see page 11-2). If you are using the Voice-on-Demand
option, it is a good idea to set TAD mode
to ON. Then, if a caller does not enter a command during the Message Center Pro OGM, the
caller's message will still be stored in the flexible memory for TAD messages. Once you decide the
mode that best suits your needs, follow the steps below.

OGM)

Recording your Message Center OGM is the second step in turning on the Message Center Mode.
After you have set the Message Storage, record your Message Center OGM (FAX: ON, TAD: ON
and FAX: OFF, TAD: ON modes). The type of OGM you select depends upon the Answer Mode
you have chosen. For the Message Center Mode, you must select MSG CTR OGM in Step 4 (not
F/T OGM). You will not be able to turn on the Message Center Mode (both AUTO and F/T lights
lit) until you have recorded an outgoing message for MSG CTR OGM. For the best recording
quality, hold the handset approximately
2 to 3 inches from your mouth (at slight angle). This will
avoid recording feedback.
It is important
to tell your callers your three-digit
remote activation
code, because many callers
do not realize when they press HOOK or lift the handset they are dialing manually.
(If you have
changed your remote code, use it instead
of .51.) Keep your outgoing message under
20
seconds.
If you have more to say and need a short instrunction,
end with:
"After the beep, please

leave a message

or send a fax, by pressing

51.

If callers tell you the .51 code does not work, find out if they waited to hear your fax machine
respond with chirping tones before they pressed the START key. If many of your callers have a
problem sending to you and you have time within the 20 seconds, record a longer OGM:
"Hi, this is
. I can't take your call right now. So after the beep, please
a fax. To send a fax, press .51, wait for fax tones, then press START."
NOTE:

leave a message

or send

You can record a message to be played in the F/T (FAX/TEL) Mode telling callers how
to send a fax. Of course, callers can not leave you a message in F/T mode, so don't ask
them to leave a voice message. To record a message for F/T mode you must select F/T
OGM in Step 4. For example: "I can't take your call right now. Please call again. To send
a fax message, after the beep press .51."

If the memory becomes full when you have set your fax machine to Message Center

(LED lights do not change.) In this mode, the fax machine can accept incoming faxes
automatically.
Fax-on- demand and Voice-on-demand
are still available for callers,
but they cannot gain access to Personal Mailbox. Then, if your fax machine should
run out of paper, the answer mode will shift automatically

Toll saver allows you to call your fax machine and hang up without paying for the call if you have
no messages.
The Message
Center will answer after only 2 rings if you do have incoming
messages, and after 4 rings if you do not have messages. So, if it rings three times when you call

The factory default setting for the Toll Saver feature is OFF and if it is ON, it overrides your

If you want your Message Center to answer in the number of rings you set in the Ring Delay

reminders,
you record a voice
message, and key in the date and time you wish the message to be played. When the set time
