Recording an outgoing
message (OGM)
a
Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows
your machine time to listen for fax tones.
b
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
c
End your 20-second message by giving
your Remote Activation code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
"After the beep, leave a message or
press l51 and Start to send a fax."
Note
• You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Fax Activation
Code l51. (See Using Remote Codes
on page 36.)
• We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,
but if your machine has trouble receiving
faxes, then you should re-record the OGM
to include it.

Multi-line connections (PABX)

Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our Fax/MFC
machines be connected to a discreet
(dedicated) line. Although a particular PABX
may appear to work with a particular model of
fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the
unit will operate correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a
fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you
contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the fax machine for you.
