Setting Dial Tone Detection; Telephone Line Interference/Voip - Brother FAX-2840 Basic User's Manual

Setting Dial Tone detection

When you send a fax automatically, by
default your machine will wait for a fixed
amount of time before it starts to dial the
number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to
Detection you can make your machine dial as
soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting can
save a small amount of time when sending a
fax to many different numbers. If you change
the setting and start having problems with
dialling you should change back to the default
No Detection setting.
