Handling Incoming Calls

The machine ‘Hears’ Voice as 
CNG Tone.

If your machine is set to Fax Detect ON, it is more sensitive to sounds. 
Your 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 (MFC-3240C only)

 on page 

4-4 and 

Fax Detect (FAX-1840C only)

 on page 4-5.)

Transferring a Fax Call to the 
machine.

If you answered at the machine, press 

Mono Start

 and hang up 

immediately. If you answered on an external or extension phone, press 
your Fax Receive Code (default setting is (

51). When your machine 

answers, hang up.

Custom features on a single 
line.

If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, an alarm system or any 
other custom feature on a single phone line with your machine, it may 
create a problem sending or receiving faxes.
For example: If you are sending or receiving a fax message while a 
custom feature signal comes through on the line, the signal can 
temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. Brother’s ECM feature should 
help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone 
system industry and is common to all devices that send and receive data 
on a single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a slight 
interruption is crucial to your business, we recommend a separate 
phone line with no custom features.
