Brother fax-back system Brother Customer Service has installed an easy-to-use fax-back system, so you can get instant answers to common technical questions and product information for all Brother products.

AUTO REDUCTION 3 Press Stop/Exit. Note If incoming faxes show that information in the left and right margins has been cut off, make sure this Auto Reduction feature is turned on. FOR YOUR INFORMATION If one or more ink cartridges are empty, the fax machine will stop printing to protect the print heads; black & white faxes will be received into memory. The FAX-1800C's "handshake" will request that color faxes be sent as black & white. If the sending machine has the feature to send color faxes in black & white, they can be received into memory also. If the fax machine runs out of paper, it stops printing and receives faxes into memory. Add paper, and then press Black Fax Start to print the faxes. 6-4 SETUP RECEIVE Advanced Receiving Operations Operation from Extension Telephones If you answer a fax call on an extension phone or on an external phone in the EXT. jack, you can make your fax machine take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code 5 1, the fax machine starts to receive a fax. (See Easy Receive, page 6-3. ) If the fax machine answers a voice call and double-rings for you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. (See Setting F/T Ring Time, page 6-3. ) If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you're receiving a fax. At an extension phone, press 5 1, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), and then hang up. At an external phone, press 5 1 and wait for the phone to be disconnected before you hang up (the LCD shows RECEIVING). (Your caller will have to press Black Fax Start to send the fax. ) For FAX/TEL Mode Only When the fax machine is in FAX/TEL mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (double-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you're at the fax machine, you can lift the handset to answer. If you're at an extension phone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time, and then press # 5 1 between the double-rings. If no one is on the line or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the fax machine by pressing 5 1. Using a Cordless External Handset If your cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the fax machine and you typically carry the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay. If you let the fax machine answer first, you will have to answer using the cordless and then go to the fax machine so you can press Hook/Hold to transfer the call to the cordless handset. Changing the Remote Codes Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1. Note If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try changing the Fax Receive Code from 5 1 to # # # and the Telephone Answer Code from # 5 1 to 9 9 9.
