Still can't get fax not to pick up when answering machine is connected.

Brother 575 model- I tried the solutions posted - my machine has no "auto" mode just fax/tel, manual, fax only, tele only. I have connected it correctly, now what?

    My Brother Fax-575 doesn't change modes when pressing "Recieve Mode" Repeatably. All I see is "DR Mode In Use" and then "Manual". I remember setting this up before and seeing FAX, FAX/TEL and Manuel but I can't seem to get back to it.

    Our fax machine is stuck on "manual" mode. We want it to automatically receive faxes, but don't seem to be able to change the receiving mode. Pressing the receive button doesn't do anything.

If you have the fax-575 there should be a TAD setting.

This is the setting you would use if you're using an answering machine on the same phone line as your fax machine.

To set the Recieve Mode :

Press Recieve Mode. The LCD display shows your current selection.

Continue to press Recieve Mode until your new selection appears. After 2 seconds the screen returns to the date and time display, along with your new Recieve Mode setting.


The 4 Recieve modes are Fax Only, Fax/Tel, TAD:Answering Machine, Manual.

Hope this helps!!!

How do I get my fax machine to receive faxes. my manual is not clear.

First, plug a phone line to the 'Tel' port on the left side. Manual receive fax, pick up handset when fax is ringing and press 'Start' when you hear fax tone.
Auto receive - set the receive mode to 'Fax Only'

Fax will not recieve but will send fax

what does the display reed. To receive fax automatically the display needs to reed
( fax mode or auto ) . If in the manual mode you need to pick up the receiver listen for the tones then press start.

make sure the phone cord from the wall jack is from the wall to the line connection MOT THE EXT. CONNECTION on the fax ( nothing in between the wall & fax )

hope this works

How to set auto recieve fax

I am not entirely familiar with the keyboard layout of that model but there should be a button tht is marked auto/tad/ft with a light next to one of the 3 settings. push the button until the light next to auto turns on. If there is not a button then this setting will have to be set in the menu/fax setup.
