Easy Receive or Fax Detect is a feature that allows your Brother machine to receive a fax even if you answer it by lifting an external or extension telephone's handset.

• If Easy Receive or Fax Detect is On, the machine will automatically receive a fax, even if you answer it by lifting the handset of an external telephone that is connected to the Brother machine's EXT jack (socket) or an extension telephone that is on the same line as the Brother machine.
  
  After lifting the telephone's handset, wait until the Brother machine's LCD reads Receiving or you hear a clicking sound over the phone, and then hang up. The machine will do the rest.
  
  
• If Easy Receive or Fax Detect is Off and you answer an incoming fax by lifting the handset of an external telephone that is connected to the Brother machine's EXT jack (socket), press Black (Mono) Start or Color (Colour) Start, and then press 2 or Receive (for touchscreen models) on the Brother machine to receive the fax.
  
  
• If Easy Receive or Fax Detect is Off and you answer an incoming fax by lifting the handset of an extension telephone that shares the line with the Brother machine, press * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand) on the telephone to receive the fax.
