    Test Sheet Procedures (For USA Only) After programming your Station ID, please fill out the TEST Setting SHEET included with your MFC and fax it to Brother’s Station ID Automated Fax Response System as your first transmission. This p. 5-2 will verify that your MFC is properly installed.

  • Page 19: Ecm (Error Correction Mode)

    When your MFC answers in FAX/TEL mode, the MFC listens for CNG tones and then responds with receiving tones. The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax.

  • Page 38: Connecting An External Telephone Answering Device (Tad)

    Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD) Sequence Although the MFC 7050C has a built-in answering system, you can choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the MFC, the TAD answers all calls. The MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones.

  • Page 39: Connections

    Connections The external TAD must be plugged into the back side of the MFC, into the jack labeled EXT. Your MFC cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack. Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the MFC, in the jack labeled LINE.

    Installing MFC, External Two-Line TAD, and Two-Line Telephone When you are installing an external two-line answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your MFC must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the MFC on Line 2, which is our assumption in the following steps.

    Multi-Line Connections (PBX) 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 MFC for you.
