Fax Tones and Handshake When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen for

About Brother Paper For the best print quality, use Brother Therma Plus Paper, Item Numbers 6890 (two 98’ rolls) or 6840 (four 98’ rolls). Therma Plus paper is thicker, like plain paper, and produces the best print quality. The recording paper roll size for your fax machine is limited to a diameter of 2.76 inches (70 mm). You can use a 164’ roll of thinner thermal paper as long as it meets these requirements. Connections Connecting the Machine Connect the handset, power cord, and telephone l

Multi-Line Connections (PBX) Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the fax 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 fax machine in FAX ONLY Mode to receive faxes any time of day or night. If the fax machine is to

Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) (TAD Cannot Be Connected in Some Countries) Sequence You might choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD answers all calls. The fax machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the fax machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing m
