Special Line Considerations - Brother MFC-J4710DW Advanced User's Manual

Setting up your area code (USA only)
When returning calls from the Caller ID
history, your machine will automatically dial
"1" plus the area code for all calls. If your local
dialing plan requires that the "1" not be used
for calls within your area code, enter your
area code in this setting. With the area code
setting, calls returned from the Caller ID
history to numbers within your area code will
be dialed using 10 digits (area code + 7-digit
number). If your dialing plan does not follow
the standard 1 + area code + 7-digit number
dialing system for calling outside your area
code, you may experience problems
returning calls automatically from the Caller
ID history. If this is not the procedure followed
by your dialing plan, you will not be able to
return calls automatically.

Special line considerations

5
Roll-over telephone lines
A roll-over telephone system is a group of two
or more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy.
The calls are usually passed down or "rolled
over" to the next available telephone line in a
preset order.
Your machine can work in a roll-over system
as long as it is the last number in the
sequence so the call cannot roll away. Do not
put the machine on any of the other numbers;
when the other lines are busy and a second
fax call is received, the fax call will be sent to
a line that does not have a fax machine. Your
machine will work best on a dedicated
line.
Two-line telephone system
A two-line telephone system is nothing more
than two separate telephone numbers on the
same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers
can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or mixed into
one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be
plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance
and both may contain four wires (black, red,
green and yellow). To test the type of jack,
plug in a two-line telephone and see if it can
access both lines. If it can, you must separate
the line for your machine.
