Before you choose the ring pattern to
register
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.

Rings
Pattern
1 long-long
2 short-long-short
3 short-short-long
4 very long
(normal pattern)
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.
