7 Telephone and external devices Telephone line services 7 Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one telephone line may create problems with the operation of your machine. Do you have Voice Mail? If you have Voice Mail on the telephone 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.
Chapter 7 What is the Advantage of using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Function? How does Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Work? Using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. When the voice call comes in, all telephones (extension and external) and the fax machine will ring to alert you to pick it up.
Telephone and external devices Set the Distinctive Ring to ON Very important! After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to ON, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically.

How Will the Fax Machine Treat All Other Numbers? 7 FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary) number.
Telephone and external devices Note After you have set the FaxAbility feature to On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or Voice Mail set up on the FaxAbility number, Manual mode means you must answer all the call yourself. You can not change the receive mode to the other mode while the FaxAbility is set to on. How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON 7 The FaxAbility function is designed to accommodate the FaxAbility service provided by Telecom.
Chapter 7 Telephone Service for Some Countries Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong) 7 7 This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on one telephone line.

C Most problems can be easily resolved by yourself. If you need additional help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com/.
Telephone line or connections (continued) Difficulties Suggestions Key operations do not work. Check the control panel is fitted correctly on the machine. Reinstall the control panel. The machine does not answer when called. Make sure the machine is in the correct receive mode for your setup. (See Receiving a fax on page 45.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Receiving Faxes (continued) Difficulties Suggestions Cannot receive a fax. 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 on page 57.) (continued) 1 Connect the external TAD as shown in the illustration on page 57. 2 Set your answering machine to answer in one or two rings.
Handling incoming calls C Difficulties Suggestions The machine ‘Hears’ a voice as a CNG Tone. If Fax Detect is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax Detect to Off. (See Fax Detect on page 48.) Sending a Fax Call to the machine.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Printing difficulties Difficulties No printout. C Suggestions Check that the machine is plugged in and the power switch is turned on.

Even if the LCD shows Replace Drum, you may be able to continue printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while.
IMPORTANT e • We recommend that you put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a clean, flat surface with a sheet of disposable paper or cloth underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner. Put the toner cartridge firmly into the new drum unit until you hear it lock into place. If you put the cartridge in correctly, the blue lock lever will lift automatically. • To prevent damage to the machine caused by static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown in the illustration.
