Using Receive Modes; Fax Only; Fax/Tel; Manual - Brother MFC-J470DW Basic User's Manual

Using Receive Modes

Some Receive Modes answer automatically
(Fax Only and Fax/Tel). You may want to
change the Ring Delay before using these
modes. (See Ring Delay on page 30.)

Fax Only

Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax call.

Fax/Tel

Fax/Tel mode helps you manage incoming
calls by recognising whether they are fax or
voice calls and dealing with them in one of the
following ways:
 Faxes will be automatically received.
 Voice calls will start the F/T Ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T Ring is a fast
double-ring made by your machine.
If you use Fax/Tel mode, see F/T Ring Time
(Fax/Tel mode only) on page 30 and Ring
Delay on page 30.
