RECEIVING FAXES IN MANUAL MODE

  1. Press HooK or lift the handset of the external telephone.

     The machine will receive the fax.

• If you answer a call on an external telephone connected to your Brother machine's EXT jack (socket) and hear a beep every 3 seconds-indicating an automatic fax, or silence-indicating a manual fax, follow these steps to receive the fax:

EASY RECEIVE or FAX DETECT

The Easy Receive or Fax Detect feature allows you to receive faxes in Manual Mode by simply lifting the handset of a telephone that is on the same line as the Brother machine or connected to the Brother machine's EXT jack (socket). The machine will automatically generate fax-receiving tones, at which point you can replace the telephone handset and wait for your fax to be received and printed.
