Setting the Ring Delay
The Ring Delay sets the number of times the
MFC rings before it answers in Fax Only or
Fax/Tel mode. If you have extension
phones on the same line as the MFC or
subscribe to the telephone company’s
Distinctive Ring service, keep the Ring Delay
setting of 4.
(See Operation from extension telephones on
page A-4 and Easy Receive on page 4-3.)
1 If it is not illuminated in green, press
(Fax).
2 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 1.
3 Press ▲ or ▼ to select how many times
the line rings before the MFC answers
(00 - 04).
Press Menu/Set.
(If you select 00, the line won’t ring at
all.)
4 Press Stop/Exit.

Printer says DR mode in use what does this mean

DR Mode means distintive ring. This is if you are using two or more phone numbers on one line. For example, you could have your voice mail number and your fax number on the same line, but when a call comes in to your voice mail the fax will recognize the ring pattern and won't pick up the call. If it is truly a Fax, then your fax will pick up the call by recognizing the ring pattern.

Won't fax

You have to get your answering machine and your fax to play nice. Read the instructions for both. I think I have my answering machine to pickup at three rings, and the fax to pick up at five. Don't have the fax answer first. Don't have both machines answering at the same number of rings.

Fax is picking up designated phone# as well as designated fax#

The statement was supposed to be a solution, not a clarification request.

Brother MFC-210c printer

Check the basic settings for your printer to see if they offer 'manual' pickup of the line instead of only the number of rings. I've had the same problem years ago and had to set the fax machine for 6 rings, answering machine for 4 to allow me time to pick up the phone in case I was present. You should be able to find complementary settings with your two devices.

Brother Printer Fax Machine

The connecting depends on several issues. This cant be said within a few words.
You have to read the manual which explains the very diffrent setting (see chap. fax). You can download the manual here:
www.brother.com (choose your country from landscape, choose your country, choose download&support)
Have a look at the faq, too.

If that doesnt help, plz call brother hotline of your country!
