If you have Voice Mail on the phone line you will install your new fax machine on, 
there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine will conflict with each 
other while receiving incoming calls. However, this Distinctive Ring feature allows 
the use of more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the fax 
machine can coexist peacefully. If each one has a separate phone number, neither 
will interfere with the other’s work.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will 
need to follow the directions below to “register” the new Distinctive Ring pattern they 
provided, so your fax machine can recognize its incoming calls.

You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the fax machine. Some ring 
patterns cannot be registered. Please refer to some popular ring pattern examples that 
will be provided from the telephone company in the USA and Canada that are shown 
in the Brother compatibility table below.

■

The fax machine will answer only calls to its registered number.

■

The first two rings are silent on the fax machine.  This is because the fax must « listen »  
to the ring pattern (compare it to the pattern that was “registered”).

■

 If you program the fax machine correctly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern 
of the “fax number” within two ring patterns and automatically answer with a fax tone. 
When the “voice number” is called, the fax machine will not interrupt the call. 

You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it 
off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you 
reset this menu selection.

company.
