Basic(for VoIP) reduces the modem speed to 9,600 bps and turns off color fax receiving(*) and Error Correction Mode (ECM), except for color fax-sending(*). Unless interference is a recurring issue on your telephone line, you may prefer use it only when needed.
To improve compatibility with most VoIP services, Brother recommends changing the compatibility setting to Basic(for VoIP).

VoIP (Voice over IP) is a type of phone system that uses an Internet connection, rather than a traditional phone line.
(For some coutries)
Brother does not recommend the use of a VoIP line. VoIP limitations in general can cause some functions of the fax machine not to work correctly.
