Recording An Outgoing Message (Ogm); Multi-Line Connections (Pabx); External And Extension Telephones; Operation From Extension Telephones - Brother MFC-9840CDW User Manual

Chapter 7
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.
Note
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.
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 Fax Receive Code l51 and
Telephone Answer Code #51. (See Using
remote codes on page 56.)
Operation from extension
telephones
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine into the
correct socket on the machine, you can make
your machine take the call by using the Fax
Receive Code. When you press the Fax
Receive Code l51 the machine starts to
7
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
machine's LCD shows Receiving, and then
hang up.
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine tactically take the call.
(See Fax Detect on page 50.)
