Using This Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine (FAX).

This machine has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your machine to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual.

Additionally, your machine can print a Help List. Make sure that there is no document in the Automatic Document Feeder, and press Copy/Reports and press 1 to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.

Finding Information

All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be able to find information about a specific feature by checking the Index at the back of this manual. Also, throughout this manual, you will see special symbols alerting you to important information, cross-references, and warnings. Illustrations of some screen displays also help you choose the correct key-presses.

Symbols Used In This Manual

Note or additional information.

The machine would be damaged or would not work correctly if this is not observed.

Warnings detail precautions you must take to avoid possible personal injury.

User-Friendly Programming

We have designed your fax machine with on-screen programming using navigation keys.

User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions your machine has to offer. (See Using This Manual, page i.)

Because you do all your programming on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-screen prompts to help you program your machine. All you need to do is follow the prompts as they guide you through the function menu selections and programming options and settings.

A complete list of the function selections, options, and settings that are available is provided in the appendix of this manual. (See Menu Mode & Menu Selection Table, page 100.)

Function Mode

You can access the Function Mode by pressing Menu/Set.

When you enter the Function Mode, your machine displays a list of main menu options from which you can choose. These options appear one after the other on the display. Select an option by pressing Menu/Set when the option appears on the LCD.

You can “scroll” more quickly through options by pressing ⏻When the screen displays your selection, press Menu/Set. (Use ⏻ to scroll backward if you passed your choice or to save key strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the opposite order.)

When you finish a function, the screen displays ACCEPTED.

If you want to exit the Function Mode, pressStop/Exit.

Alternating Displays

The LCD sometimes alternates between the currently selected option, and a help message giving brief instructions about how to proceed. The display you will probably see most often is shown below, showing you that when you place a document in the feeder, you can either dial a number to send it as a fax or press the copy key to make a copy of the document.

Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide

Packing

Whenever you transport the machine, use the packing materials that came with your machine and pack the machine correctly.

Choosing a Location

Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone socket and a standard, earthed Mains socket.

Avoid placing your machine in a busy area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit's memory. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid connecting the fax machine near to interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

Connecting the Power Cord

- This fax must be earthed using a 3-pin plug.

- Since the machine is earthed through the power outlet, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to your machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.

• Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on the telephone line, or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.

Memory Storage

Your machine is equipped with an internal battery which will keep the date and time information for up to about 48 hours after power has been cut off. After this time, the date and time will be lost and you will have to re-enter the information. In the event of a power failure, all settings in the menus are stored permanently except for the settings that are valid for the next fax only (e.g. contrast, overseas mode).

The FAX-737MC will retain any documents or voice messages stored into the memory for up to 15 hours after a power interruption.

The FAX-717/727 will not retain any documents stored into the memory after a power interruption.

Connections

1 You may connect an external TAD to your machine, as shown below.

    A["Printer"] --> B["TAD"]
    B --> C["Switch"]
    C --> D["TAD"]
    style A fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
    style B fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    style C fill:#cfc,stroke:#333
    style D fill:#fcc,stroke:#333

(Example for Australia)

2 Set the number of rings to one or two on your external TAD. (The fax machine's Ring Delay setting does not apply.)
3 Record the outgoing message on your external TAD (see next page).
4 Set the external TAD to answer calls.
5 Set MESSAGE STORE (Function menu 8-1) to VOICE:EXT. (Only for FAX-737MC)
6 Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH.. (Only for FAX-717/727) On FAX-737MC, set the Answer Mode to MC:MSG CTR.

Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your machine and TAD will both try to control the line.

Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD

Timing is important in recording this message.

1 Record four seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2 Try to record the shortest possible message on your telephone answering device (ideally less than 20 seconds).
3 End your message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:
"After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing*5 1 (91 for New Zealand)."

Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some fax machines do not send a fax tone in manual mode. In these cases you must inform callers that they must enter the remote Fax Receive Code to send a fax.

Sequence of External TAD Reception

When you leave your machine set in TAD mode, all calls will be answered by the externally connected telephone answering device, and fax calls will be received automatically provided they come from a machine which sends standard Calling tone (CNG).

    A["Incoming Call"] --> B["The call is picked up by the TAD. (Recommended short TAD ring delay such as 1 or 2 rings.)"]

    I --> K["The caller leaves a voice message on the external TAD."]
    K --> L["Voice call"]
    L --> M["The fax message is received on paper."]
    M --> N["The caller can also send a fax message after the voice message."]

Connecting an External Telephone

Your machine is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone to your machine, as shown below.

graph TD
    A["External Telephone"] --> B["Printer"]
    C["Extension Telephone"] --> B
    B --> D["Switch"]

    style C fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
    style D fill:#ccf,stroke:#333
    style E fill:#ccf,stroke:#333

(Example for Australia)

Whenever this external phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the fax handset is lifted, an alarm sounds.

To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the fax, lift the handset and press Hook (FAX-717/727) or Speaker Phone (FAX-737MC).

3 Receiving a Fax

Answer Mode Settings

Select Answer Mode

MANUAL—Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).

FAX ONLY—Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no telephone calls). The machine automatically answers every call as a fax call. You cannot receive a voice call, but you can dial out and make a voice call.

FAX/TEL—Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages and few phone calls. The machine automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax, it prints the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring, different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you select this setting, you will need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages). (See For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only, page 44.)

TAD: ANSWER MACH. (FAX-717/727)—This is the only setting in which you can use an external answering machine. Your telephone answering device answers every call. Once the external telephone answering device (TAD) answers, the machine listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, fax messages are printed.

The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD). Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.

MC:MSG CTR (FAX-737MC)—FAX-737MC provides you with a built-in digital Message Centre for fax and voice. When you set the machine to answer calls, it will record up to 15 minutes of messages. See Message Centre (Only for FAX-737MC), page 65 for more information.

If you are changing Answer Mode while in another operation, the screen returns to the current operation display.

Setting the Ring Delay

The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the machine rings before it answers. (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page 44 and For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only, page 44.)

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1. If you have a FAX-717/727, go to Step 3.
2 Press 🎨 or 📋 to select RING DELAY, and press Menu/Set.
3 Press or to select how many times the line rings before the machine answers, and press Menu/Set when the screen displays your selection.
4 Press Stop/Exit.

(Only for FAX-737MC)

When Toll Saver is ON, it overrides your Ring Delay setting. Toll Saver must be off for the machine to operate using your Ring Delay setting. (See Setting the Toll Saver, page 70.)

Setting the F/T Ring Time (Only Applies to F/T Receiving Mode)

You need to determine how long the machine will give its special F/T pseudo-ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the fax machine rings for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds; no other phones (extension or external) on the same line rings during the special F/T pseudo-ring.

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 2.
2 Press or to select how long the machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice call, and press Menu/Set when the screen displays your selection.
3 Press Stop/Exit.

Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine continues the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.

Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in F/T mode, because some fax machines do not send the standard Group 3 calling tone (“CNG”) but this is not common.

This machine does not generate F/T ringing tones to any extension telephones. Any such extension telephones will only ring during the period set on ring delay.

Recording the Fax/Tel Outgoing Announcement (FAX/TEL OGM) (Only for FAX-737MC)

This is the announcement played by your machine (not an external TAD) when someone calls and your machine is set to F/T mode. Although callers hear your announcement, they cannot leave a message. See Erasing the Outgoing Message (OGM), page 67 for directions to erase the announcement. The purpose of this F/T message is for the callers to better understand the status of their call, when your machine is set in F/T receiving mode. If you want to use Message Centre, you MUST record the Message Centre OGM.

1 Press Menu/Set, 8, 3. The screen prompts you to choose FAX/TEL OGM, MSG CTR OGM or PAGING OGM.
2 Press 📁 or 📋 to select FAX/TEL OGM, and press Menu/Set.
3 Press 🏠 or 🏠 to select RECORD MSG and press Menu/Set, then pick up the handset to record a message.
4 Replace the handset. Your announcement is played.
5 Press Stop/Exit.

It is not necessary to have an outgoing message. The F/T mode will work fine without one. It is only to help the caller understand the status of your machine.

For example, you can leave a message that says:

“Hello, please wait, we are trying to connect you. If you wish to send a fax, please wait until you hear a fax tone and press the Start key, or, press *5 1 (9*1 for New Zealand) (your three-digit remote Fax Receive Code) and press the Start key.”

Fax Detect

When you use this feature, you don't have to press Fax Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVE on the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your machine does the rest.

• Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension phone, an external phone, a phone or TAD connected to the machine.
• Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive the call only if you've answered it at the machine.
• Selecting OFF means you will have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing Fax Start or by pressing * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand) if you are not at your machine. (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page 44 and For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only, page 44.)

In case Fax Detect does not work, because of a poor phone line connection, just press Fax Start or press the Fax Receive Code * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand). (You have to set Remote Code to ON in Menu/Set, 2, 4 to use * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand).)

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 3.
2 Use 📋 or 📋 to select ON, SEMI or OFF, and press Menu/Set when the screen displays your selection.
3 Press Stop/Exit.

If you've set the feature to ON, but your machine doesn't automatically connect a fax call when you lift an external or extension phone handset, press * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand).

At the machine, lift the handset and press Fax Start.

Receiving a Fax

Printing a Reduced Incoming Document

You can always reduce the size of an incoming fax to a fixed percentage with your machine. If you choose AUTO, the machine reduces an incoming document automatically, so that it fits on one page of A4 recording paper, regardless of the size of the original document.

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 5. The screen displays

1. REDUCTION

2 Use 📋 or 📋 to select the reduction ratio you want—AUTO, 100%, 93%, 87%, or 75%. Choose 100% if you don't want a reduction.
3 Press Menu/Set when the screen displays your selection.
4 Press Stop/Exit.

If you receive faxes that are split on two pages, change the reduction to AUTO—OR—Choose a lower reduction percentage.

• When you use Auto Reduction to reduce incoming documents to fit on one page of recording paper, you can do so only as long as the original document is not longer than 35 cm. If the original is longer than 35 cm, the data will not be reduced and will carry over to print on a second page.
  ■ When you use Auto Reduction and you receive an incoming document that is smaller than your recording paper, no reduction will take place, and you will get the same size recorded as the original.

Reception into Memory

As soon as the paper cassette becomes empty or ink ribbon runs out during fax reception, the screen will display CHECK PAPER; please put some paper in the paper tray.

If the MEMORY RECEPTION switch is ON at this time...

The current fax reception will continue, with the remaining page(s) being stored in memory, subject to available memory. Subsequent incoming faxes will also be stored into memory until the memory is full, following which no further incoming fax calls will be automatically answered; all data will be printed as soon as fresh paper is put in the paper cassette.

If the MEMORY RECEPTION switch is OFF at this time...

The current fax reception will continue, with the remaining page(s) being stored in memory, subject to available memory.

Electronic Cover Page (Only for FAX-727/737MC)

The cover page is sent to the receiving party's machine. Your cover page includes the name stored in the One Touch or Speed Dial memory, if you have used this feature to start the call.

The cover page indicates the fax is from your Station ID, and the number of pages you are sending. If you have COVERPG SETUP set to ON (see Always Send Cover Page, page 36), the number of pages on the cover page remains blank.

You can select a comment to include on your cover page, or you can select 1.COMMENT OFF if you do not wish to include a comment.

As well as using one of the comments shown on the right, you can also enter up to two customized messages, each 27 characters long. (See Composing Your Own Comments, page 37.)

8 Advanced Receiving

Operation from an External or Extension Telephone

An external phone is a telephone that is plugged into the machine (either into the machine's EXT socket or into the back of the connector that plugs into the telephone wall socket).

An extension phone is another phone on the same phone number as the machine, but plugged into a different telephone wall socket. For example, the machine may be connected to a phone line in your study, and you may have another phone on the same line (and same phone number) in your kitchen. This feature enables you to answer the phone in the kitchen if it rings while you are making a coffee, knowing that you can transfer the call to the machine if the incoming call is a fax.

If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make your machine take over by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand), the machine starts to receive a fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-rings for you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code #51 (#91 for New Zealand) to take the call at an extension phone. The Telephone Answer Code is used only in F/T mode. (You have to set Remote Code to ON in Menu/Set, 2, 4 to use *51 or #51 (*91 or #91 for New Zealand).)

If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you are receiving a fax.

• If you are using the machine phone, press Fax Start, then hang up.
- If you are using an extension phone, press * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand), wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up.
- If you are using an external phone, press * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand) and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVE) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Fax Start to send the fax.)

If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is being received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions unreadable.

Extension telephones are not permitted in some countries, in such a case the Telephone Answer Code will not work.

The Remote Code also can be used by your callers. When you are using an external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to send a fax, press *51 (*91 for New Zealand)”. (See Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD, page 6.)

For F/T (Fax/Tel) Mode Only

When the machine is in F/T mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T pseudo-ringing) to alert you to a voice call.

• If you are at the machine, you can lift the handset to answer.
• If you are at an extension phone, you will need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and press #51 (#91 for New Zealand) between the F/T pseudo-rings.
• If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand).

Remote Call Transfer

In order to use the Activation Voice Code, you should first set REMOTE CODE (Menu/Set, 2, 4) to ON. (See Changing Remote Codes, page 46.)

This function works when you receive the incoming Voice call at the remote cordless phone externally connected to the fax machine. (See Connecting an External Telephone, page 7.) You can transfer voice call to the fax machine. But you can not transfer the incoming voice call from the fax machine to the cordless phone.

To transfer telephone call to the fax machine

When you pick up the voice call at remote cordless phone and would like to transfer it to the fax machine,

1 Press Activation Voice Code * 81 at remote cordless phone.
2 The fax machine rings (pseudo-ring same as current F/T ring) and the display shows PICK UP PHONE.
3 Pick up the handset and press Hook or Speaker Phone (for FAX-737MC only)—OR—Just press Speaker Phone (for FAX-737MC only) at the fax machine in order to transfer the voice call to the fax machine.

Don't hang up the call from the cordless phone until the voice call has been transferred to the fax machine. You will know when this is because you will no longer be able to hear or talk to the caller via the cordless phone. If you do not wait until this point before hanging up from the cordless phone, the call will be lost.

If nobody answers at the fax machine, pseudo-ringing stops after 30 seconds. In that case, it may still be possible to speak with the caller from the cordless phone. Speech between the fax machine and the cordless phone (= intercom) is not possible.

Changing Remote Codes

Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Fax Receive Code is * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand). The preset Telephone Answer Code i# 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand). The preset Activation Voice Code is * 8 1.

If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try changing the Fax Receive Code from * 5 1 (★9 1 for New Zealand) to # # # and the Telephone Answer Code from# 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand) to 1 1 1. You cannot use the same number for the Fax Receive Code, the Telephone Answer Code, and the Activation Voice Code.

To change Remote Codes

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 4.
2 Press 🏠 or 📋 to select ON (or OFF), and press Menu/Set when the screen displays the setting you want.
3 If you want to, enter a new Fax Receive Code, then press Menu/Set.
4 If you want to, enter a new Telephone Answer Code, then press Menu/Set.
5 If you want to, enter a new Activation Voice Code, then press Menu/Set.
6 Press Stop/Exit.

Telephone Service for Australia (Telstra ^® Duet)

Distinctive Ringing (Telstra® FaxStream® Duet)

This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by Telstra's FaxStream® Duet, which allows you to have two separate telephone numbers on the one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your fax machine.

Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes.

You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.

• In order for Duet to work properly, you must set your receive mode to Manual and set the Distinctive Ringing to ON.
• To have your external TAD answer only the main number, the machine must be in Manual Mode.

Caller ID (Caller IDentification)

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller's phone number or name as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your fax machine memory.

To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.

Advantages of Caller ID

For Business

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, memory-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.

At Home

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

How Does the Caller ID Work?

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings

As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller's phone number or name. Once you pick up the handset, the caller's ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.

Helpful Hints

If # UNAVAILABLE appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area or a public phone. *
If # WITHHELD appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *
■ If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, PICK UP PHONE will remain on the display.

* Depends on network Function.

The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine's Memory

The FAX can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along with the time and date of reception, The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.

The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the following.

■ Printing the Caller ID List.

You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller ID), and type of Call (Comment).

Viewing Caller ID List

Caller ID memory stores information for up to thirty calls; when the thirty-first call comes in, information about the first call is erased. You can scroll through Caller ID information to review those calls made to your FAX.

Telephone Service for New Zealand

FaxAbility

FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom that allows you to have an additional number on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring pattern. This way, when you get an incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring.

How Will the Fax Machine Treat All Other Numbers?

FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary) number. When a call comes in to your main number, all the phones will ring. You can set an external answering device (TAD) to answer calls on the other number(s). (See the chart in the following page.)

If you change the answer mode on the fax machine to FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, that setting will override the FaxAbility setup. In FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, your fax machine will answer all the phone numbers (including its own ring pattern).

What is the Advantage of Using the FaxAbility Function?

Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. It is much easier for your callers who dial manually. The fax machine will answer with receiving tones so they will not have to press an Fax Receive Code. And the people who call to talk on your main number will not have to talk to your fax machine. Basically, it gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.

How Does FaxAbility Work?

Your telephone number will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while the new number will have a ring pattern of long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is ON, you will not hear the first ring of all incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension phones will ring as usual. If the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will stop and the fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message. Otherwise, you will hear the extension phones and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax machine always listens to the ring pattern before it answers, so do not pick up the phone during that time. You will quickly learn to recognize the ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that number. Either you or a telephone answering device can answer the main number(s).

How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON

The FaxAbility function is designed to accommodate the FaxAbility service provided by Telecom. To change the setting, repeat Steps 1-3; Step 2 is where you can select either ON or OFF.

Call Waiting beeps caused by incoming calls on your main number can affect fax transmissions. If you have FaxAbility Service but don't have Call Waiting, you need do nothing at this stage. If you do have Call Waiting as well as FaxAbility, set the Call Waiting menu option to ON. See below. The machine can suspend Call Waiting when incoming faxes are being sent to you.

1 Set the fax machine to Manual Mode.

2 Press Menu/Set, 0, 3.

Caller ID (Caller IDentification)

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller's phone number as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your machine's memory.

To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.

Advantages of Caller ID

For Business

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, memory-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.

At Home

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

How Does the Caller ID Work?

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings

As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller's phone number. Once you pick up the handset, the caller's ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.

Helpful Hints

If # UNAVAILABLE appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area. *
If # WITHHELD appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *
■ If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, PICK UP PHONE will remain on the display.

* Depends on network Function.

Viewing Caller ID List

Caller ID memory stores information for up to thirty calls; when the thirty-first call comes in, information about the first call is erased. You can scroll through Caller ID information to review those calls made to your fax machine.

Telephone Service for Some Countries

Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong)

This fax machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you'll know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your fax machine.

Your fax machine has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes. You'll need to set Distinctive Ringing to ON.

You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.

■ The fax machine will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ringing number.
■ To have your external TAD answer only the main number, the fax machine must be in Manual Mode.
In FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, the fax machine will answer all numbers on the phone line.

If you set the Distinctive Ringing to ON, the receive mode will turn to Manual mode automatically.

Only in the MC mode, even if you set the Distinctive Ringing to ON, the receive mode will not be changed.

After a few rings, the screen displays the telephone number of your caller (or name, if available). Once you pick up the handset, the Caller ID information disappears from the screen, but the call information remains stored in the Caller ID memory.

■ You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name.
■ # UNAVAILABLE display means call originates outside your Caller ID service area.
■ # WITHHELD display means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information.
■ PICK UP PHONE display remains on the screen when no Caller ID information was transmitted.

Difficulty with Operation

If you think there is a problem with sending or printing quality of your fax machine, make a copy first. If the copy quality looks good then the problem may not be your fax machine. Check the difficulties below and follow the suggestions to help resolve your problems.

DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS
Printing or Receiving Faxes
Condensed Print and Horizontal Streaks; Top and Bottom of Sentences Cut Off	This can be caused by static or interference on the telephone line. You can make a copy using the Copy function and see if the same problem occurs. If the copy is also bad, call your Brother dealer for service.
Vertical Black Lines When Receiving	The sender's scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see if the problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine. If the problem continues, contact the Brother dealer for service.
Phone Line or Connections
Fax Machine Does Not Answer When Called	Make sure the machine is in the correct receiving mode for your setup (either FAX, F/T (FAX/TEL) or TAD). Check for dial tone. It possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection. Connect a standard telephone handset to the machine's telephone jack. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, call your Telephone Company to check the line.
No Dial Tone on the Handset	Press Speaker Phone (for FAX-737MC only)—OR—Lift the handset. If you hear no dial tone, check telephone line cord connections at the machine and wall jack. Check that the handset is connected to the machine's handset jack. Test the wall jack with another single line telephone. If no dial tone on the wall outlet, call your Telephone Company.
Sending Faxes
Poor Transmitting Quality	Try changing your resolution to FINE or S.FINE. (See Resolution, page 20.) Make a copy to verify the machine's scanner operation.
Dialling Does Not Work Check for a dial tone.	Change TONE/PULSE setting. (See Setting the Dialling Mode (Tone/Pulse) (Not available in New Zealand), page 12.) Check all line cord connections. Check power cord connection. Send a manual fax by pressing Speaker Phone (for FAX-737MC only)—OR—Lifting the handset, and dialling the number. Wait to hear fax receiving tones before pressing Fax Start.
Vertical Black Lines When Sending	Use your machine to make a copy. If the copy shows the same problem, the scanner area is dirty. Lift the front cover and check the document path. Clean the scanner's white roller and the glass strip under the roller using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth.
Handling Incoming Calls
F/T Pseudo-Ring in F/T Mode	The machine knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signalling you to answer the voice call. Pick up the machine's handset or answer from an extension phone and press your machine's Telephone Answer Code (default setting is # 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand)).
Transferring a Call to the Machine	If you have answered at the machine's handset, press Fax Start, and hang up immediately.If you answered at an extension phone, press your three-digit Fax Receive Code (the factory setting is* 5 1 ( 9 1 for New Zealand)). When your machine answers, hang up.
Machine goes into receive mode when the caller is not a fax	If the machine is set to Fax Detect ON, it is more sensitive to sounds The machine may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a calling fax machine and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the fax by pressing Stop/Exit.Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax Detect to OFF. (See Fax Detect, page 26.)
Transmission Verification Report Prints “RESULT:ERROR”	There is probably temporary noise or static on the phone line. Try sending the fax again. If the problem continues, call the Telephone Company to check your phone line.

About Fax Machines

If you are a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. You will soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

Fax Tones and Handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)—soft, beeps at 4-second intervals. You will hear them when you dial and press Fax Start, and they continue for about 60 seconds after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You will soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVE. If your fax machine is set to the FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax machine continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVE. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop/Exit.

When your fax machine is in FAX/TEL (F/T) mode, it answers with a short beep. After this beep, the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and, if heard, it will respond with receiving tones.

The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the receiving machine’s “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 60 seconds after the number is dialled. Therefore, it’s important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line, your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD to your fax machine.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to check the integrity of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are possible only between machines that both have the ECM feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously checked for their integrity.

Sufficient memory must be available in your machine for this feature to work.
