Telephone Line Interference/VoIP

If you are having problems sending or receiving a fax due to possible interference on the telephone line or if you are using a VoIP system, we recommend changing the modem speed to minimise errors in fax operations.

  1. Press Settings.
  2. Press image or image to make your selections:
    1. Select [Initial Setup]. Press OK.
    2. Select [Compatibility]. Press OK.
    3. Select [Normal] or [Basic(for VoIP)]. Press OK.
      • [Basic(for VoIP)] reduces the modem speed to 9,600 bps and turns off colour fax receiving and Error Correction Mode (ECM), except for colour fax-sending. Unless interference is a recurring problem on your telephone line, you may prefer to use it only when needed.

        To improve compatibility with most VoIP services, Brother recommends changing the compatibility setting to [Basic(for VoIP)].

      • [Normal] sets the modem speed at 14,400 bps.
  3. Press Stop/Exit.

    • VoIP (Voice over IP) is a type of phone system that uses an Internet connection, rather than a traditional phone line.
