Modem speed
The fax modem speed is the speed of transmission that fax documents are sent. Model speed is measured in kilobytes per second (Kbps)
The fax modems are available supporting communication speeds of:
14.4K bps (approx. 6-9 sec/page)*
33.6K bps (also known as Super G3) (approx. 2-3 sec/page)*
Benefits
The faster the modem speed, the faster a fax document can be sent.
Buying a machine with a faster modem may also reduce phone costs if you typically transmit lengthy fax documents, particularly overseas.

Auto Fax Reduction
The MFC automatically reduces each page of an incoming fax to fit on one page of A4, Letter, Legal or Folio size paper. The MFC calculates the reduction ratio by using the paper size of the fax and your paper size setting.

Fax/voice call detection
All Brother fax machines have the ability to distinguish between incoming fax and voice calls so you can use all of our faxes with a single phone line. You can choose the answer mode best suited to handle your incoming calls.
