telephone call. Pick up the machine’s handset

sending or receiving fax data.
Example #1: If you are having a telephone
conversation and a fax communication signal
comes through on your Call Waiting Caller ID
feature, you can verify that the second call is a
fax by switching to it. You have the option to
receive the fax call, by asking the first caller to
hang up to clear the line.
Example #2: If you are sending or receiving a
fax message while a Call Waiting Caller ID (or
other custom feature) signal comes through on
the line, the signal can temporarily interrupt or
disrupt the fax data. 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 information on a single,
shared line with custom features. If avoiding a
slight interruption is crucial to your business, a
separate line with no custom features is
recommended.
