Recording An Outgoing Message (Ogm); Multi-Line Connections (Pabx); External And Extension Telephones; Operation From External Or Extension Telephones - Brother MFC-9120CN User Manual

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 55.)
• 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 are 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.
Brother does not recommend the use of a
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can
cause some functions of the fax machine not
to work correctly.

Note
You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Remote Activation
Code l51 and Remote Deactivation Code
#51. (See Using Remote Codes
on page 55.)
Operation from external or
extension telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine through
the T-piece connection, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation code. When you press the Remote
Activation code l51 the machine starts to
receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.

Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your tactically take the call. (See
Fax Detect on page 47.)
