Changing Memory Receive operations

If there are received faxes in your machine's memory when you change the Memory Receive operation, the LCD will ask you one of the following questions:

If all the received faxes have already been printed

Erase All Doc?

  • If you press 1 (Yes), faxes in the memory will be erased before the setting changes.

  • If you press 2 (No), faxes in the memory will not be erased or transferred to your PC and the setting will be unchanged.

Additional receiving operations

Out of Paper Reception

As soon as the paper tray becomes empty during fax reception, the LCD shows No Paper Fed. Put some paper in the paper tray. (See Basic User's Guide: Loading paper and other print media.)

If you don't put paper in the paper tray, the machine will continue receiving the fax. The remaining pages will be stored in the memory, if enough memory is available.

Further incoming faxes will also be stored in memory until the memory is full. To print the faxes, put fresh paper in the tray. When the memory is full, the machine will stop answering calls.

Printing a reduced incoming fax

If you choose on, the machine reduces each page of an incoming fax to fit on one sheet of A4 or Letter size paper. The machine calculates the reduction ratio by using the page size of the fax and your Paper Size setting.

(See Basic User's Guide: Paper Size.)

Dialling and storing numbers (MFC model)

Voice operations

You can use your extension or external telephone to dial voice calls.

BT Call Sign (U.K. only)

This feature of the machine lets you use the BT Call Sign subscriber service which allows you to have at least two separate telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has its own distinctive ringing pattern, so you know which telephone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate telephone number for your machine.

Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing function, allowing you to dedicate a second telephone number (on the same telephone line) just for receiving faxes.

NOTE

  • You can switch BT Call Sign off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function. This machine will automatically answer incoming calls that use your new fax number.
  • When you set the BT Call Sign feature to On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Manual mode will not respond to incoming telephone calls, since the number you use for telephone calls will use the normal ring pattern.

To enable the machine to work with BT Call Sign (with your external telephone only)

1 Press Menu 3, 0, 2.
Press or to choose On (or Off). Press OK.
3 Press Stop/Exit.

NOTE

If you turn off BT Call Sign, the receive mode stays in Manual. You will need to set receive mode again. (See Basic User's Guide: Choose the Receive Mode.)

Additional dialling operations

Combining Speed Dial numbers

Sometimes, you may want to choose from several long-distance carriers when you send a fax. Rates may vary depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes of long-distance carriers and credit card numbers as Speed Dial numbers. (See Basic User's Guide: Storing Speed Dial numbers.)

You can store these long dialling sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate Speed Dial numbers in any combination.

You can even include manual dialling using the dial pad.

For example, you might have stored '01632' on Address Book: #03 and '960555' on Address Book: #02. You can use them both to dial '01632-960555' as shown in the following example:

Press (FAX).
Press (Address Book).
Press or to choose Search. Press OK.
4 Enter#, 03.
Press (Address Book).
6 Enter#, 02.
Press Mono Start or Colour Start. You will dial '01632-960555'.

To temporarily change a number, you can use the dial pad to manually substitute part of the number. For example, to change the number to '01632-960556', you could enter the number (#03 '01632') using

Address Book, choose Search, press OK, press #, 03, and then press '960556' using the dial pad.

NOTE

If you must wait for another dial tone or signal at any point in the dialling sequence, create a pause in the number by pressing Redial/Pause. Each key press adds a 3.5 second delay. You can press Redial/Pause as many times as needed to increase the length of the pause.

Additional ways to store numbers

Setting up Groups for Broadcasting

A Group, which is stored in a Speed Dial location, allows you to send the same fax message to many fax numbers by pressing

BROTHER DCP-J132W,  DCPJ132W - Setting up Groups for Broadcasting - 1

(FAX), (Address Book),

Search, OK, #, the two-digit location number and Mono Start.

(See Broadcasting (Monochrome only) on page 9.)

First, you'll need to store each fax number in a Speed Dial location. (See Basic User's Guide: Storing Speed Dial numbers.) Then you can include them as numbers in the Group. Each Group uses a Speed Dial location. You can have up to six Groups, or you can assign up to 39 numbers to a large Group.

1 Press
