Telephone services 7
Your machine supports the Caller ID and
Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone
services that some telephone companies
offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call
Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering
services, alarm systems or other custom
features on one phone line may affect the
way your machine works. If you have Voice
Mail on your phone line, please read the
following carefully.
Distinctive Ring 7
Brother uses the term ‘Distinctive Ring’ but
different telephone companies have other
names for this service such as SmartRing,
RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or
Indent-a-Ring.
What does your telephone company's
‘Distinctive Ring’ do? 7
Your telephone company's Distinctive Ring
service allows you to have more than one
number on the same phone line. If you need
more than one phone number, it is
cheaper than paying for an extra line. Each
phone number has its own distinctive ring
pattern, so you will know which phone
number is ringing. This is one way you can
have a separate phone number for your
machine.
Note
Please call your telephone company for
availability and rates.
What does Brother's ‘Distinctive Ring’
do? 7
The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring
feature that allows you to use your machine to
take full advantage of the telephone
company's Distinctive Ring service. The new
phone number on your line can just receive
faxes.
Note
You must pay for your telephone
company's Distinctive Ring service before
you program the machine to work with it.
Do you have Voice Mail? 7
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that
you will install your new machine on, there is
a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the
machine will conflict with each other while
receiving incoming calls.However, the
Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use
more than one number on your line, so
both Voice Mail and the machine can work
together without any problems. If each one
has a separate phone number, neither will
interfere with the other's operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring
service from the telephone company, you will
need to follow the directions on next page to
‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern
they give you. This is so your machine can
recognize its incoming calls.
Note
You can change or cancel the Distinctive
Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it
off temporarily, and turn it back on later.
When you get a new fax number, make
sure you reset this feature.

Before you choose the ring pattern to
register 7
You can only register one Distinctive Ring
pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns
cannot be registered. The ring patterns below
are supported by your Brother machine.
Register the one your telephone company
gives you.
Note
If the ring pattern you received is not on
this chart, please call your telephone
company and ask for one that is
shown.
The machine will only answer calls to its
registered number.
The first two rings are silent on the
machine. This is because the fax must
‘listen’ to the ring pattern (to compare it to
the pattern that was ‘registered’). (Other
telephones on the same line will ring.)
If you program the machine properly, it will
recognize the registered ring pattern of the
‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and
then answer with a fax tone. When the
‘voice number’ is called, the machine will
not answer.
Registering the Distinctive Ring
pattern 7
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to on, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. You cannot change the receive
mode to another mode while the Distinctive
Ring is set to on.

Caller ID 7
The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller
ID subscriber service offered by many local
telephone companies. Call your telephone
company for details. This service shows the
telephone number, or name if it is available,
of your caller as the line rings.
You can use a number in the Caller ID History
to make a phone call (MFC-665CW and
MFC-845CW only), send a fax, add it to
Speed-Dial, or delete it from the history. (See
Caller ID history on page 65.)
After a few rings, the LCD shows the
telephone number of your caller (and name, if
available). Once you answer a call, the Caller
ID information disappears from the LCD, but
the call information stays stored in the Caller
ID memory.
You can see the first 15 characters of the
number (or name).
The Out of Area message means the
call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
The Private Call message means the
caller has intentionally blocked
transmission of information.
You can print a list of the Caller ID information
received by your machine. (See Printing
Caller ID List on page 57.)
Note
Caller ID service varies with different
carriers. Call your local telephone
company to find out about the kind of
service available in your area.

Connecting an external
TAD (telephone
answering device) 7
You may choose to connect an external
answering device. However, when you have
an external TAD on the same telephone line
as the machine, the TAD answers all calls
and the machine ‘listens’ for fax calling (CNG)
tones. If it hears them, the machine takes
over the call and receives the fax. If it does
not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the
TAD continue playing your outgoing message
so your caller can leave you a voice
message.
The TAD must answer within four rings (the
recommended setting is two rings). The
machine cannot hear CNG tones until the
TAD has answered the call, and with four
rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG
tones left for the fax ‘handshake’. Make sure
you carefully follow the instructions in this
guide for recording your outgoing message.
We do not recommend using the toll saver
feature on your external answering machine if
it exceeds five rings.
Note
If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce
the Ring Delay setting on your external
TAD.
If You Subscribe to your Telephone
company's Distinctive Ring Service:
You may connect an external TAD to a
separate wall jack only if you subscribe to
your telephone company's Distinctive
Ring service, have registered the
distinctive ring pattern on your machine,
and use that number as a fax number. The
recommended setting is at least four rings
on the external TAD when you have the
telephone company's Distinctive Ring
Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver
setting.

Chapter 7
58
If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive
Ring Service:
You must plug your TAD into the EXT.
jack of your machine. If your TAD is
plugged into a wall jack, both your
machine and the TAD will try to control the
phone line. (See the illustration below.)
1TAD
When the TAD answers a call, the LCD
shows Telephone (MFC-440CN) or
Ext. Tel in Use (MFC-665CW and
MFC-845CW).
Connections 7
The external TAD must be plugged into the
jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work
properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack
(unless you are using Distinctive Ring).
aPlug the telephone line cord from the
telephone wall jack into the jack labeled
LINE.
bPlug the telephone line cord from the
external TAD into the jack labeled EXT.
(Make sure this cord is connected to the
TAD at the TAD's telephone line jack,
and not its handset jack.)
cSet your external TAD to four rings or
less. (The machine's Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
dRecord the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
eSet the TAD to answer calls.
fDo one of the following:
(For MFC-440CN)
Set the Receive Mode to External

Recording outgoing message
(OGM) on an external TAD 7
Timing is important in recording this
message. The message sets up the ways to
handle both manual and automatic fax
reception.
aRecord 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. (This allows
your machine time to listen for the fax
CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
bLimit your speaking to 20 seconds.
cEnd your 20-second message by giving
your Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
‘After the beep, leave a message or
send a fax by pressing l51 and Start.’
Note
We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5-second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a
resonant or loud voice. You may try
omitting this pause, but if your machine
has trouble receiving, then you must re-
record the OGM to include it.
Special line considerations 7
Roll over phone lines 7
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 machine can work in a roll over system
as long as it is the last number in the
sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not
put the machine on any of the other numbers;
when the other lines are busy and a second
fax call is received, the fax call will be sent to
a line that does not have a fax machine. Your
machine will work best on a dedicated
line.
Two-line phone system 7
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 (RJ11) or mixed into one
jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged
into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may
be equal in size and appearance and both
may contain four wires (black, red, green,
yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two-
line phone and see if it can access both lines.
If it can, you must separate the line for your
machine. (See page 50.)

Chapter 7

Converting telephone wall outlets 7
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11
jack. The first two ways may require help from
the telephone company. You can change the
wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11
jacks. Or you can have an RJ11 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 outlet. It separates the wires into two
separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a
third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your
machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into
L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on
Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triple adapter.
Triplex Adapter 7
Installing machine, external two-line
TAD and two-line telephone 7
When you are installing an external two-line
telephone answering device (TAD) and a
two-line telephone, your machine must be
isolated on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD. The most common connection is
to put the machine on Line 2, which is
explained in the following steps. The back of
the two-line TAD must have two telephone
jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other
labeled L2. You will need at least three
telephone line cords, the one that came with
your machine and two for your external two-
line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if
you add a two-line telephone.
aPut the two-line TAD and the two-line
telephone next to your machine.
bPlug one end of the telephone line cord
for your machine into the L2 jack of the
triplex adapter. Plug the other end into
the LINE jack on the back of the
machine.
cPlug 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/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.
dPlug one end of the second telephone
line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of
the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into
the EXT. jack on the left side of the
machine.

2 Two Line Phone
3 External Two Line TAD
4 Machine
You can keep two-line telephones on other
wall outlets as always. There are two ways to
add a two-line telephone to the machine's
wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line
cord from the two-line telephone into the
L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or you can
plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack
of the two-line TAD.

Multi-line connections (PBX) 7
We suggest you ask the company who
installed your PBX to connect your machine.
If you have a multi line system we suggest
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the
last line on the system. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. If all
incoming calls will be answered by a
switchboard operator we recommend that
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will
operate properly under all circumstances
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties
with sending or receiving faxes should be
reported first to the company who handles
your PBX.
External and extension
phones 7
Connecting an external or
extension telephone 7
You can connect a separate telephone (or
telephone answering device) directly to your
machine as shown in the diagram below.
Connect the telephone line cord to the jack
labeled EXT.

If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Telephone Answer Code #51 to take the
call at an extension phone. (See F/T Ring

Using a Non-Brother cordless
external telephone
(MFC-440CN and MFC-665CW
only) 7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
and you typically carry the cordless handset
elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during
the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Hook or Speaker Phone to send the call to
the cordless handset.
Using remote codes 7
Fax receive code 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by dialing the fax receive code
l51. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. See Easy Receive on
page 50. Your caller will have to press Start
to send the fax.
Telephone answer code 7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you
pick up the call on an extension phone you
can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51
(make sure you press this between the rings).

you can use this setting to transfer your
faxes to your PC. (For details, see Error
messages on page 136.)
