Set Telephone Line Compatibility for Interference and VoIP Systems

Related Models:MFC‑7895DW

Problems sending and receiving faxes due to possible interference on the telephone line may be solved by reducing the modem speed to minimise errors in fax transmission. If you are using a Voice over IP (VoIP) service, Brother recommends changing the compatibility to Basic (for VoIP).
