These are summaries of ways to connect your machine. For more information about each

Voice Mail

If you have a Voice Mail service on the
telephone line that your Brother machine is
connected to, it may conflict with your Brother
machine when receiving incoming faxes. If
using this service, we suggest setting the
Brother machine's Receive Mode to Manual.
Voice Over Internet Protocol
(VoIP)

MFC-J985DW
VoIP is a type of phone system that uses an
Internet connection instead of a traditional
telephone line. Your machine may not work
with some VoIP systems. If you have
questions about how to connect your machine
to a VoIP system, contact your VoIP provider.
Connection of an External
Telephone Answering
Device (TAD)
Related Models:
MFC-J985DW
You may choose to connect an external
answering device to your Brother machine. To
receive faxes successfully, you must connect
it correctly. When recording an outgoing
message on your external TAD, we
recommend recording 5 seconds of silence at
the beginning of your message, and limiting
your speaking to 20 seconds. Set your
machine’s Receive Mode to External TAD.
External and Extension
Telephones

MFC-J985DW
You can connect a separate telephone to your
machine. If you answer a fax call on an
extension or external telephone, you can
make your machine receive the fax by
pressing * 5 1. If the machine answers a voice
call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take
over, press # 5 1 to take the call on an
extension telephone.
