Introduction Using this Guide Thank you for buying a Brother fax machine or Multi-Function Center (MFC). Your machine is simple to use, with LCD screen instructions to guide you through programming it. You can make the most of your machine by viewing through this Guide.
Control panel overview One-Touch keys These 4 keys give you instant access to 8 previously stored dial numbers. Shift To access memory locations 5 through 8 in the One-Touch keys, hold down the Shift key. Photo key: PhotoCapture Lets you access the PhotoCapture Center.
Page 18
Dial Pad Use these keys to dial telephone and fax numbers and as a keyboard for entering information into the machine. The # key lets you temporarily switch the dialling mode during a telephone call from Pulse to Tone. Stop/Exit Stops an operation or exits from the menu.
Turning the machine to Power Save condition When the machine is idle, you can turn it to Power Save condition by Power Save pressing the will receive telephone calls, and also receive faxes in Fax Only , Fax/Tel or External TAD mode. The delayed faxes that have been set up will be sent.

About fax machines Fax tones and handshake When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. You’ll hear them after you dial and press Colour Start and they will continue for about 60 seconds after dialling During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake”...
ECM (Error Correction Mode) The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detects errors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that had an error.
Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD) Sequence You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones.
Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. (Example for the U.K.) When the TAD is in use, the LCD shows Telephone . Connections The external TAD must be connected as shown above. Set your external TAD to one or two rings.
Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.) Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Using extension telephones (For U.K. only) It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order...

DISCONNECT EXTENSION EXTENSION MASTER SOCKET SOCKET SOCKET INCOMING LINE FAX MACHINE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO MASTER SOCKET RECOMMENDED CONNECTION OF EXTENSION SOCKETS Fig. 2. These phones are now connected as external devices as per page 1-7, because they are connected to the fax machine via the T-connector.
Multi-line connections (PBX) Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the machine for you.
Loading documents and paper Load documents You can send a fax, copy and scan from the ADF (automatic document feeder). Using the automatic document feeder (ADF) ■ Documents must be between 8.9 and 21.6 cm wide and 12.7 and 35.6 cm long. ■...
Page 30
■ The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 pages, feeding each one individually through the machine. Use standard (80 g/m ) paper when using the ADF. Fan the paper, and then stagger the pages in the ADF as shown: DO NOT use curled, wrinkled, folded, or ripped paper, or paper with staples, paper clips, paste or tape attached.
For best results, use the recommended paper. When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the “Basic” tab in the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting in the Menu/Set menu ( Also avoid stacking by removing each page after it exits the machine to avoid smudging.

Gently insert the paper. Make sure the print side is towards you and the paper is below the maximum paper mark. To load glossy paper Fan the stack of glossy paper well. Put a sheet of plain paper in the paper tray first, and then put the stack of glossy paper on top of it.
To load envelopes Before loading, press the corners and sides of the envelopes to make them as flat as possible. If the envelopes are ‘double-feeding’, put one envelope in the paper tray at a time. Press and slide the paper guide to fit the width of the envelopes. Insert them into the paper tray with the address side toward you and pointed in the direction below.
