Telephone Services

Custom Features 

Your fax machine supports the Distinctive Ring, Caller ID and Call Waiting/Caller ID 
telephone services offered by some telephone companies.

If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, please read the following carefully.

Distinctive Ring 

The term “Distinctive Ring” is used by Brother to identify a telephone company 
service that is given 

many names, depending on the telephone company you are using.

For example, this service may be called SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Ident-a-
Call or Ident-a-Ring.

What Does Your Telephone Company’s “Distinctive Ring” Do?

Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service allows more than one number to 
be on same phone line. 

If you need more than one phone number, it is an 

inexpensive alternative to paying for an additional line

.  Each phone number has 

its own distinctive ring 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. 

What Does Brother’s “Distinctive Ring” Do?

The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your fax 
machine to take full advantage of the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service. 
You can dedicate the new phone number on your line to receive only faxes.

If you have Voice Mail, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other 
custom feature on your telephone line, it may create a problem in the operation of 
your fax machine. 
(See 

Custom Features on a Single Line

, page 13-9.)

Please consult your telephone company for availability and 

rates

. 

You must purchase your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service 

before

 you 

program the Brother machine to work with it.
