Later?

How
Will
the
MFC
Treat
All
Other
Numbers?
If
you
have
registered
the

the
MFC

answer
the

(with
fax

tones)
and
receive
faxes
automatically.
When
a
call
comes
in
to
your
main
number
or
to
additional
distinctive
ringing
numbers,
all
the
phones
will
ring.
You
can
set
the
MFC’s
Message
Center
or
an

device
(TAD)
to
answer
calls
on
the
other
number(s).
If
you
change
the

mode
on
the
