Using Receive Modes; Fax Only; Fax/Tel; Manual - Brother MFC-J4510DW 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 56.)

Fax Only

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

Fax/Tel

Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls by recognizing
whether they are fax or voice calls and
handling 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
pseudo/double-ring made by your
machine.
(Also see F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only)
on page 56 and Ring Delay on page 56.)
