Warnings detail precautions you must take to avoid possible personal injury.

User-Friendly Programming

We have designed the machine with on-screen programming. User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions the machine has to offer.

Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created step-by-step on-screen prompts to help you program the machine. All you need to do is follow the prompts as they guide you through the function menu selections, programming options and settings. Additionally, you can program settings more quickly by pressing Menu/Set and the menu number using the dial pad.

A complete list of the function selections, options, and settings that are available is provided in the appendix of this manual. (See Menu Mode & Menu Selection Table, page 148.)

Alternating Displays

The LCD sometimes alternates between the currently selected option, and a help message giving brief instructions about how to proceed. The display you'll probably see most often is shown on the right, showing you that when you place a document in the ADF, you can either dial a number to send it as a fax or press the Copy key to make a copy of the document.

Preparation and Simple Use Guide

Steps to prepare and use the machine simply

Follow the steps below to prepare and use the machine simply.

However, before you perform these steps, see Important Safety Information (page 136), and Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide (page 3).

If you need further information, refer to BASIC USE or ADVANCED USE.

1 Read the Quick Setup Guide

Follow the instructions on the Brother Quick Setup Guide to set up the machine.

2 Setting the Document

■Documents must be between 14.8 and 21.6 cm wide, and 15 and 60 cm long. This machine can only scan an image 20.8 cm wide, regardless of how wide the document is.

■ Make sure you insert documents face down, top edge first.

■Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your document.

Paper Guides F

The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 pages, feeding each one individually through the machine. Use standard (64g / m^2 90g / m^2) paper when using the ADF; if you're using heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to prevent paper jams.

Approx. 1.3 cm

■Open the document tray by pulling it toward you ( ), then unfold the extension ( ). ②

Advice for Preparation and Simple Use Guide

Choosing a Location

Place the machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket, grounded power outlet.

Avoid placing the machine where it may be knocked. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect the machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit's memory. Do not connect the machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones. Ensure the airflow from the fan on the right hand side of the machine is not impeded.

• We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the product against damage caused by a lightning strike.
• Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Connecting the Power Cord

• This machine must be fitted with an earthed plug.
• Since the machine is earthed via the mains plug, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to the machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move the machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.

IMPORTANT:

If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to fit an appropriate type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting a shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are colored in accordance with the following code.

• Green-and-yellow : Earth
• Blue : Neutral
• Brown : Live

As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is colored green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol of colored green or green-and-yellow.

The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or colored black.

The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or colored red.

Memory Storage

In the event of a power failure, all settings in the GENERAL SETUP, SETUP RECEIVE, SETUP SEND, SET QUICK-DIAL, REPORT SETTING, REMOTE FAX OPT and MISCELLANEOUS functions are stored permanently and fax sending and receiving data are stored for several days.

Connecting an External Telephone Answering Device (TAD)

Sequence

You might choose to connect an additional answering machine. When you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls. The machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it doesn’t hear the CNG tones, the machine will not answer the call, and messages can be left on the TAD by callers in the normal way.

The TAD must answer within a maximum of four rings. However, we recommend two rings as the TAD setting. The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.” Make sure you carefully follow instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing message. Do not use a “toll-saver” ring setting on the TAD.

It is important that the TAD is connected via the EXT socket on the machine or on the line jack unit. Do not use a line doubler on the line jack as this can cause answering problems.

Connections

1 You may connect an external TAD to the machine, as shown below.

TAD TAD

(Example for Australia)

2 Set your external TAD to two rings or less.
3 Record the outgoing message (see next page).
4 Set the TAD to answer calls.

5 Set the Receive Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH. by pressing Receive Mode.

Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.

1 We recommend the outgoing message (OGM) is no longer than 20 seconds.
2 Allow 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows the fax to detect the calling tone prior to OGM, so reception can be faster.)

3 We recommend that you end your OGM by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:

"After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing 51 (91 for New Zealand) and Fax Start."

Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some fax machines do not send a fax tone if the call is manually dialled. In these cases you must inform callers that they must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.

Connecting an External Telephone

Your FAX/MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone to your FAX/MFC, as shown below.

Diagram showing connection between a printer and two phone devices with labeled components and wiring connections

(Example for Australia)

Whenever this external phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the FAX/MFC's handset is lifted, an alarm sounds.

To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the FAX/MFC, lift the handset and press Hook.

Receive Mode Settings

Select Receive Mode

There are four different receive modes for the machine. You may choose the mode that best suits your needs by pressing Receive Mode repeatedly until the screen displays the setting you want to use.

You'll need to connect an external telephone to select Fax/Tel (F/T) or Manual Mode.

Receive Mode For

1. FAX ONLY	Use this function if you want to receive fax messages only (no telephone calls). The machine should be connected on its own line. The machine automatically answers every call as a fax call. You cannot receive a voice call, but, if you have connected an External telephone, you can still dial out and make voice calls. (This setting is recommended if the machine is on its own dedicated line.)
2. FAX/TEL (F/T)	Use this function if you expect to receive many fax messages and few phone calls. The machine automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax, it prints the fax. If the call is not a fax, it signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring, different from the phone company ringing, to alert you to pick up the call. If you select this setting, you'll need to set the Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time features (on the following pages).
3. TAD:ANSWER MACH.(with an External Answering Machine)	This is the only setting in which you can use an external answering machine. Your telephone answering device is connected to the machine, and answers every call. Once the external telephone answering device (TAD) answers, the machine listens for fax tones. If it detects fax tones, fax messages are printed.The TAD setting works only with an external telephone answering device (TAD). Ring Delay and F/T Ring Time do not work in this setting.
4. MANUAL	Use this function if you receive many telephone calls and few fax messages. You must answer all calls yourself. If you hear fax tones, wait until the machine takes over the call automatically, then hang up (see Fax Detect function).

To Select or Change Your Receive Mode

1 Press Receive Mode. The screen displays your current selection.
2 Press the key again and the next selection appears. After 2 seconds, the screen returns to the date and time display, along with your new Receive Mode setting.

FAX ONLY FAX/TEL TAD:ANSWER MACH. MANUAL

If you are changing the Receive Mode while in another operation, the screen returns to that operation.

FAX : FAX ONLY F / T : FAX/TEL TAD : EXTERNAL ANSWERING MACHINE MAN : MANUAL

Setting the Ring Delay

The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the machine rings before it answers in FAX ONLY or FAX/TEL mode. (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page 38 and For Fax/Tel Mode Only, page 38.)

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 1.
2 Press or to select how many times the line rings before the machine answers (02-10 for Australia, 01-10 for New Zealand, 00 -10 for some countries.).
3 Press Menu/Set when the screen displays your selection.
4 Press Stop/Exit.

Setting the F/T (Fax/Tel) Ring Time (Fax/Tel Mode Only)

You need to determine how long the machine will notify you with its special F/T pseudo-ring when you have a voice call. This ringing happens after the initial ringing from the phone company. Only the machine rings, for 20, 30, 40 or 70 seconds (for 20, 30, 40 or 55 seconds: Only for New Zealand); no other phones on the same line ring the special F/T pseudo-ring. However, you can answer the call on any extension phone (in a separate wall socket) on the same line as the machine. (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page 38.)

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 2.
2 Press or to select how long the machine will ring to alert you that you have a voice call, and then press Menu/Set.
3 Press Stop/Exit.

Now, when a call comes in and the machine is set to Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, all phones on this line will ring the number of times you selected in Ring Delay.

You can let the machine pick up and detect if it's a fax or voice call. If it's a fax call, the machine prints the fax. If it's a voice call, the machine signals you with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring Time.

Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the machine continues the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.

Fax Detect (set ON by default)

When you use this feature, you don't have to press Fax Start when you answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the fax screen or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall socket, just replace the handset, and the machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. Selecting SEMI lets the fax machine receive the call only if you've answered it at the machine. Selecting OFF means you'll have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing Fax Start or * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand) if you are not at the machine. (You have to set Remote Activation to ON in Menu/Set, 2, 1, 4 to use * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand).) (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page 38.)

In case Fax Detect does not work, because of a poor phone line connection, just press the Activation Code * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand).

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 3.
2 Use 📋 or 📋 to select ON, SEMI or OFF and press Menu/Set.
3 Press Stop/Exit.

Using the Menu/Set key, you can include up to 8 One Touch locations (FAX-2850), up to 100 Speed Dial locations, and up to 50 manually dialled numbers (maximum of 158 (FAX-2850) or 150 (MFC-4800) locations if you did not use up any locations for Groups, access codes or credit card numbers). However, available memory will vary with the types of jobs in memory and numbers of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to setup transmissions using dual access and the timer.

The easiest way to broadcast is to first combine frequently used One Touch (FAX-2850) and Speed Dial numbers as a Group, which uses up a One Touch key (FAX-2850) or a Speed Dial #.

(Remember, you can have up to six Groups and Quick Dial numbers can be included in more than one Group). Then by pressing Menu/Set between each location, you can include One Touch (FAX-2850), Speed Dial, Groups, and manual dialling (using the dial pad) in the same broadcast. Use the Search/Speed Dial to help you choose the numbers easily.

After the broadcast is completed, a Broadcast Report will be printed automatically to let you know the results.

1 Insert the document face down in the ADF.
2 Enter a number using One Touch (FAX-2850), Speed Dial, Search, Group number or the dial pad.
Example: Group number

3 Press Menu/Set. You will be prompted to enter the next number.

4 Enter the next number.

Example: Speed Dial

5 Press Menu/Set.

6 Enter the next fax number.

Example: Manual dialling, using the dial pad.

7 Press Fax Start.

The machine will read the documents into memory and then start sending faxes to all the numbers you entered.

■To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop/Exit. The display asks if you want to cancel all locations or just the location that is being sent to.
■Enter the long dialling sequence numbers as you normally would, but keep in mind that each key counts as one location, so the number of locations you can call becomes limited.
■If the line is busy or a connection could not be made for some other reasons while broadcasting, the machine will redial the number automatically.
If the memory is full, press Stop/Exit to abort the job or press Fax Start to send the portion that is in the memory (if more than one page has been scanned).

Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting

Groups allow you to send the same fax message to many fax numbers by pressing only one One Touch Group key and Fax Start (FAX-2850) or five keys (Search/Speed Dial, #, the two-digit location, and Fax Start). You can store up to six of the Groups on your One Touch keys (FAX-2850) or Speed Dial, and then broadcast by pressing only the One Touch key (FAX-2850) or Search/Speed Dial, #, the two-digit location (and Fax Start). First, you'll need to store each fax number as a One Touch or Speed Dial number. Then, you can combine them into a Group. Each Group uses up a One Touch or Speed Dial number. You can have up to six Groups, or you can assign up to 107 (FAX-2850) or 99 (MFC-4800) numbers to one large Group. (See Storing One Touch Dial Numbers (For FAX-2850 Only), page 14 and Storing Speed Dial Numbers, page 15.)

7 Advanced Receiving

Operation from an External or Extension Telephone

An external phone is a telephone that is plugged into the machine (either into the machine's EXT socket or into the back of the connector that plugs into the telephone wall socket).

An extension phone is another phone on the same phone number as the machine, but plugged into a different telephone wall socket. For example, the machine may be connected to a phone line in your study, and you may have another phone on the same line (and same phone number) in your kitchen. This feature enables you to answer the phone in the kitchen if it rings while you are making a coffee, knowing that you can transfer the call to the machine if the incoming call is a fax.

If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make the machine take over by using the Activation Code. When you press the Activation Code * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand), the machine starts to receive a fax. If you set FAX DETECT to ON, you don't have to press * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand), just hold the handset and wait for several seconds. (See Fax Detect (set ON by default), page 22.)

If the machine answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-rings for you to take over, use the Deactivation Code #51 (#91 for New Zealand) to take the call at an extension phone. The Deactivation Code is used only in Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode. (You have to set Remote Activation to ON in Menu/Set, 2, 1, 4 to use *51 or #51 (*91 or #91 for New Zealand).)

If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you're receiving a fax. At an extension phone, press * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand), wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At an external phone, press * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand) and wait for the phone to be disconnected (the screen displays RECEIVING) before you hang up. (Your caller will have to press Start to send the fax.)

If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is being received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions unreadable.

The Remote Activation Code can also be used by your callers. When you are using an external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to send a fax, press * 51 (* 91 for New Zealand)”. (See Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD, page 6.)

For Fax/Tel Mode Only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T pseudo-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you're at the machine, you can lift the handset to answer.

If you're at an extension phone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and press #51 (#91 for New Zealand) between the F/T pseudo-rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing *51 (*91 for New Zealand).

Switching ON Remote Activation and Changing Remote Codes

Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems. The preset Activation Code is *51 (*91 for New Zealand). The preset Deactivation Code is #51 (#91 for New Zealand).

If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try changing the Activation Code from * 5 1 (* 9 1 for New Zealand) # # # and the Deactivation Code from # 5 1 (# 9 1 for New Zealand) to 1 1 1. You cannot use the same number for the Activation Code, the Deactivation Code and the Remote Access Code.

To switch Remote Activation ON and change Remote Codes

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 4.
2 Press 🏠 or 🏠 to select ON (or OFF), and press Menu/Set when the screen displays the setting you want.
3 If you want to, enter a new Remote Activation Code, then press Menu/Set.
4 If you want to, enter a new Remote Deactivation Code, then press Menu/Set.
5 Press Stop/Exit.

Distinctive Ringing

This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by Telstra's FaxStream® Duet, which allows you to have at least two separate telephone numbers on the phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your FAX/MFC.

Your FAX/MFC has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes.

You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.

• To have your external TAD answer only the main number, the machine must be in Manual Mode.
• In FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, the machine will answer all numbers on the phone line.

Set the Distinctive Ringing to ON

1 Disconnect the FAX/MFC from any TAD or telephone company voice mail.
2 Set the FAX/MFC to Manual Mode.
3 Press Menu/Set, 2, 0, 2. The screen displays the current setting of this feature.
4 Press or to select ON (or OFF).
5 Press Menu/Set.
6 Press Stop/Exit.

Caller ID (Caller IDentification)

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller's phone number or name as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your FAX/MFC memory.

■ To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.

Advantages of Caller ID

For Business

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.

At Home

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

How Does the Caller ID Work?

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings

As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller's phone number or name. Once you pick up the handset, the caller's ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.

Helpful Hints

If OUT OF AREA appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area or a public phone. *
If PRIVATE CALL appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *
If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, PICK UP PHONE will remain on the display.

* Depends on network Function.

The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine's Memory

The FAX/MFC can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.

The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the following.

■ Printing the Caller ID List.

You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller ID), and type of Call (Comment).

Viewing Caller ID List

Caller ID memory stores information for up to thirty calls; when the thirty-first call comes in, information about the first call is erased. You can scroll through Caller ID information to review those calls made to your FAX/MFC.

1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 0, 3.
2 Press or to select DISPLAY # and press Menu/Set. If the name was not received, it will not be displayed.

Telephone Service for New Zealand

FaxAbility

FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom that allows you to have an additional number on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring pattern. This way, when you get an incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring.

How Will the Fax Machine Treat All Other Numbers?

FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary) number. When a call comes in to your main number, all the phones will ring. You can set an external answering device (TAD) to answer calls on the other number(s). (See the chart in the following page.)

If you change the answer mode on the fax machine to FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, that setting will override the FaxAbility setup. In FAX/TEL (F/T) or FAX ONLY mode, your fax machine will answer all the phone numbers (including its own ring pattern).

What is the Advantage of Using the FaxAbility Function?

Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. It is much easier for your callers who dial manually. The fax machine will answer with receiving tones so they will not have to press an activation code. And the people who call to talk on your main number, will not have to talk to your fax machine. Basically, it gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.

How Does FaxAbility Work?

Your telephone number will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while the new number will have a ring pattern of long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is ON, you will not hear the first ring of all incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension phones will ring as usual. If the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will stop and the fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message. Otherwise, you will hear the extension phones and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax machine always listens to the ring pattern before it answers, so do not pick up the phone during that time. You will quickly learn to recognize the ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that number. Either you or a telephone answering device can answer the main number(s).

Flowchart Sequence of Incoming Call

graph TD

    D --> F["Fax machine begins ringing on third ring."]
    F --> G["You answer the call at an external phone."]
    F --> H["Telephone Answering Device (TAD) answers the call."]

How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON

The FaxAbility function is designed to accommodate the FaxAbility service provided by Telecom. To change the setting, repeat Steps 1-3; Step 2 is where you can select either ON or OFF.

Call Waiting beeps caused by incoming calls on your main number can affect fax transmissions. If you have FaxAbility Service but don't have Call Waiting you need do nothing at this stage.

If you do have Call Waiting as well as FaxAbility, set the Call Waiting menu option to ON. See below.

Your FaxAbility service automatically suspends Call Waiting when incoming faxes are being sent to you.

12 Using the machine as a Printer

Special Printing Features

Windows® Printing

The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft ^® Windows ^® 95, 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional and Windows NT ^® Workstation Version 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with the machine. You can easily install them into your Windows ^® system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows ^® applications, and allows you to set various printer settings including economy printing mode and custom paper size.

Enhanced Memory Management

The machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which automatically compresses graphic data and downloads font data efficiently into the printer's (machine's) memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full-page, 600dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the machine's standard memory.

Printing From Your PC

Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder

The machine's multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and organizer paper, Postcard, Labels and Transparencies. When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.

■Select the print command from your PC.

Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. If there are more pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically.

You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application software.

If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.

Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplex)

The supplied printer drivers for Windows ^® 95/98/98SE/Me and Windows NT ^® Workstation Version 4.0 support manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)

Please select LPT1 port in the printer driver. The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows ^® driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. If the paper “double-feeds” (sends two sheets at once), hold the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is feeding.

Illustration showing two steps of a hand holding a small object, one being cut and the other handling a document (no text or symbols present)

When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.

Loading Envelopes

If you load envelopes into the Multi-purpose sheet feeder, make sure they are inserted in the direction shown below.

Load the envelopes with the lever down.

Paper Tray

The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the paper tray at the front of the machine. When you use transparencies, remove each sheet immediately after printing, to prevent a paper jam or curled sheets.

Reset Key (For MFC-4800 Only)

Press this key to clear data from the memory.

Simultaneous Printing/Faxing

The machine can print data from your computer while sending or receiving a fax, or while scanning information into the computer. However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and resumes when copying or fax receiving is complete. Fax sending continues during PC printing.

Acceptable Paper

To achieve high quality printing using the machine, it's very important to select the right kind of paper.

Paper Type Paper Size
Cut sheet A4, Letter, Legal	70-216 x 127-356 mm (2.75-8.5 x 5-14 inches)

15 Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort® for Brother and ScanSoft™ TextBridge®

ScanSoft™ Paper Port® for Brother is a document management application. You will use PaperPort® to view scanned documents. PaperPort® has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, filing system that will help you organize your documents. It allows you to combine or “stack” documents of different formats for printing or filing. PaperPort® can be accessed through the PaperPort® program group.

The complete ScanSoft™ PaperPort® Owner's Manual, including ScanSoft™ TextBridge® OCR, is in the On-Line Documentation on the CD-ROM. This chapter is only an introduction to the basic operations.

When you install Multi-Function Link ^® Pro Suite, ScanSoft ^™ PaperPort ^® for Brother and ScanSoft ^™ TextBridge ^® OCR are installed with it automatically.

To Uninstall PaperPort® and ScanSoft™ TextBridge®

Select Fax Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and the Install/Uninstall tab. Select PaperPort® from the list and click the Add/Remove button.

Viewing Items in ScanSoft™ PaperPort® for Brother

PaperPort ^® provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a thumbnail, a small graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder. Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort ^® Desktop. You can see PaperPort ^® items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort ^® items (files created using other applications).

Non-PaperPort ^® items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item; a non-PaperPort ^® item is represented by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.

Page View displays a close-up of a single page and you can open a PaperPort ^® item by double-clicking on it. As long as you have the appropriate application on your computer to display it, you can also double-click a non-PaperPort ^® item to open it.

Organizing Your Items in Folders

PaperPort ^® has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of folders and items that you select to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort ^® item or a non-PaperPort ^® item:

• Folders are arranged in a “tree” structure in the Folder View. You use this pane to select folders and view their items in Desktop View.
  ■ You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse button and the item is stored in that folder.
  ■ Folders can be “nested”—that is, stored in other folders.
  ■When you double-click a folder, its items (both PaperPort ^ MAX files and other files) appear on the Desktop.
  ■You can also use Windows ^® Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.

Links to Many Other Applications

PaperPort® automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a “working link” to them. The Link Bar at the bottom of Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort®.

Screenshot of a software toolbar with icons for file operations, editing, and viewing functions

If PaperPort ^® does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can manually create a link using the Create New Link command. (See PaperPort ^® Help for more information about creating new links.)

Software by:

ScanSoft ^TM TextBridge ^® OCR is automatically installed when you install PaperPort ^® on your computer.

PaperPort ^® can quickly convert the text on a PaperPort ^® item (which is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application. PaperPort ^® uses the optical character recognition application ScanSoft ^™ TextBridge ^® , which comes with PaperPort ^® —OR—PaperPort ^® uses your application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy As Text command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert.

Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort ^® 's built-in OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.

Row of grayscale icons representing various office and document-related items, including a keyboard, documents, and images.

Importing Items from Other Applications

In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort ^® in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort ^® (MAX) files in several different ways:

■ Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft Excel.
■Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows ^ Bitmap (BMP) or Tag Image File Format (TIFF).

Exporting Items in Other Formats

You can export or save PaperPort ^® items in several popular file formats. You can export formats BMP, PCX, DCX, JPG, TIF, PDF, PNG, FPX, HFX, or self-viewing. For example, you could create a file for an Internet Web site and export it as a JPEG file. Web pages often use JPEG files for displaying images.

Exporting an Image File

1 Select the Export command from the File pull-down menu in the PaperPort® window. The Export ‘XXXXX’ As dialog box will be displayed.
2 Select the drive and directory where you want to store the file.
3 Enter the new file name and choose the file type or select a name from the File Name text box. (You can scroll through the Directories and File Name listing for prompting.)
4 Select the OK button to save your file, or Cancel to return to the PaperPort ^® without saving it.

3 Select the Fax Start button from the Scanner window.

When scanning is completed, close the scanner window. The PaperPort ^® screen will appear showing the image you scanned highlighted in red.

Settings in the Scanner Window

Image

Resolution

Select the scanning resolution from the Resolution drop down list. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but can achieve a finer scanned image.

When the setting is True Gray, 200 x 100 dpi and 200 x 400 dpi is not available.

Scan Type

Gray Scale: Set the image Type to Black & White for text or line art. For photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray.

Gray (Error Diffusion) is used for documents that contain photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images by placing black dots in a specific matrix instead of true gray dots.)

True Gray mode is used for documents containing photographic images or graphics. This mode requires the most memory and longest transfer time.

Brightness

Adjusting the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother Multi-Function Link ^® Pro Suite offers 100 brightness settings (-50 to 50). The default value is 0, representing an “average” setting.

You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten the image or to the left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box to set the settings.

If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan the document again.

If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the document again.

Contrast

The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the gray scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the gray Scale.

Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slider to the right) emphasizes dark and light areas of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by dragging the slider to the left) ravels more detail in gray areas. Instead of using the slider, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast.

Custom

Size

Set the Size to one of the following:

♦ Letter (8 1/2 x 11 inches)
◆ A4 (210 x 297 mm)
♦ Legal (8 1/2 x 14 inches)
◆ A5 (148 x 210 mm)
◆ B5 (182 x 257 mm)
◆ Executive (7 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches)
◆ Business Card (60 x 90 mm)
◆ Custom (User adjustable from 0.35 x 0.35 in. to 8.5 x 14 inches)

After you select a custom size, you can adjust the scanning area further by using the left mouse button to drag the dotted outline of the scanning area. This is required when you want to crop an image when scanning.

Business Card Size

To scan business cards, select the Business Card (60 x 90 mm) size setting and place the business card at the top centre of a carrier sheet.

Carrier sheets are available from your Dealer.

When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics application, you should try different settings for the contrast, mode and resolution to see which settings best suit your needs.

PreScanning an Image

PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version of the image will appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview of the image so you can see how it will look. The PreScan button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from the image. When you are satisfied with the preview, select the Fax Start button to scan the image.

1 Insert the document face down in the ADF.

2 Select the PreScan button:

The entire document will be scanned into the PC and will appear in the Scanning Area of the Scanner window.

Scanning Area You can crop the prescanned image brother 8.5

3 To crop a portion of the document to be scanned, drag any side or corner of the dotted outline in the Scanning Area with the left mouse button. Adjust the dotted outline until it surrounds only the portion of the document you wish to scan.

4 Place document in the document feeder of the machine again.

5 Adjust the settings for Resolution, Scan Type, Brightness, Contrast, and Size in the Scanner Setup window, as needed.

6 Select the Fax Start button.

This time only the selected area of the document will appear in the PaperPort ^® window.

7 In the PaperPort ^® window, use the options available in the Markups pull-down menu and the Crop option in the Options pull-down menu to refine the image.

3 Click Fax Start.

When scanning is finished, the image will appear in your graphics application.

Image

Resolution

Choose the scanning resolution from the Resolution pop-up menu. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer time, but can achieve a finer scanned image. (Each model has different resolutions. See Specifications, page 143.)

Color Type

Black & White—Set the image Type to Black & White for text or line art. For photographic images, set the image type to Grey (Error diffusion) or True Grey.

Grey (Error Diffusion)—is used for documents that contain photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images by placing black dots in a specific matrix instead of true grey dots.)

True Grey—also is used for documents containing photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of grey. It requires the most memory and longest transfer time.

After you choose a custom size, you can adjust the scanning area. Click and hold the mouse button as you drag the mouse to crop the image.

Width: Enter the width of the custom size.

Length: Enter the length of the custom size.

Business Card Size

To scan business cards, select the Business Card size setting (90 × 60 mm), and then place the business card at the top center of a carrier sheet.

Carrier sheets are available from your Dealer.

When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics application, it is a good idea to try different settings for the Contrast, Mode and Resolution to determine which settings look best.

Adjust Image

Brightness

Adjust the brightness settings to obtain the best image. The Brother TWAIN Scanner driver offers 100 brightness settings (-50 to 50). The default value is 0, representing an “average” setting.

You can set the brightness level by dragging the slidebar to the right to lighten the image or to the left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box to set the setting. Click OK.

If the scanned image is too light, set a lower brightness value and scan the document again.

If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness value and scan the document again.

Brightness Contrast Cancel OK

Contrast

The contrast setting is adjustable only when you have selected one of the grey scale settings, but it is not available when Black & White is selected as the grey scale.

Increasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the right) emphasizes dark and light areas of the Image, while decreasing the contrast level (by dragging the slidebar to the left) reveals more detail in grey areas. Instead of using the slidebar, you can type a value in the box to set the contrast. Click OK.

PreScanning an Image

PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version will appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview of the image, so you can see how it will look. The PreScan button is used to preview an image for cropping any unwanted portions from the image. When you are satisfied with the preview, click Fax Start to scan the image.

1 Insert the document face down in the ADF.

2 Click PreScan.

The entire document will be scanned into your Macintosh will appear in the Scanning Area of the Scanner dialog box:

3 To scan a portion of the prescanned image, click and drag the mouse to crop it.

4 Insert document face down in the ADF of the Brother MFC again.

5 Adjust the settings for Resolution, Color Type (Grey Scale), Brightness, Contrast, and Size in the Scanner Setup dialog box, as needed.

6 Click Fax Start.

This time only the selected area of the document will appear in the Scanning Area.

7 Use your application, software for editing and refining the image as usual.

Difficulty with Operation

If you think there is a problem with the machine, make a copy first. If the copy looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the table below and follow the troubleshooting tips.

DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS
Printing and Receiving Faxes
Condensed print and horizontal streaks/top and bottom of sentences are cut off.	If your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the phone line. Try again and see if there is an improvement.If a copy looks worse, then call your Brother dealer for service.
Vertical streaks/black lines appear on the fax you receive	Sometimes you may see vertical streaks/black lines on the faxes you receive. Either the machine's primary corona wire for printing may be dirty, or the sending party's fax scanner may be dirty. Clean your primary corona wire, or ask the sender to make a copy to see if the problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine. If the problem continues, call Brother dealer for service.
Machine “hears” voice as CNG tone	If the machine is set to Fax Detect (with an External Telephone) ON, it is more sensitive to sounds. The machine may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a calling fax machine and respond with fax receiving tones. Deactivate the fax by pressing Stop/Exit. Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax Detect (with an External Telephone) to OFF. (See Fax Detect (set ON by default), page 22.)
Phone Line or Connections
Dialling does not work	Check for a dial tone. Change TONE/PULSE setting (See Setting the Dialling Mode (Tone/Pulse) (Not available in New Zealand), page 14). Check all line cord connections, and make sure the curled handset cord is not in the EXT jack. Check power cord connection. Send a manual fax by pressing Hook—OR—by lifting the handset, and dialing the number. Wait to hear the fax receiving tones before pressing Fax Start.
The machine does not answer when called	Make sure the FAX/MFC is in the correct receiving mode for your setup (either FAX, FAX/TEL or TAD). Check for dial tone. If possible, call your FAX/MFC to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection. Connect a standard telephone handset to the FAX/MFC telephone jack. If there is no ringing when you call your FAX/MFC, call your Telephone Company to check the line.
No dial tone on the handset	Press Hook—OR—Lift the handset. If you hear no dial tone, check telephone line cord connections at the FAX/MFC and wall jack. Check that the handset curled cord is connected to the FAX/MFC's handset jack. Test the jack with another single line telephone. If no dial tone on the wall outlet, call your Telephone Company.
Sending Faxes
Poor transmitting quality	Try changing your resolution to FINE or SUPERFINE. (See Fax Resolution, page 16.) Make a copy to verify the machine's scanner operation.
Transmission verification prints “Results:NG”	There is probably temporary noise or static on the phone line. Try sending the fax again. If the problem continues, call the Telephone Company to check your phone line.
When the receiving party says the picture is not clear	Sometimes the resolution mode you chose when you sent your fax may not have been appropriate. Send the fax again, but try using the FINE or S.FINE mode. Also, the machine's scanner may be dirty, so try cleaning it.
When the receiving party says vertical streaks appear on the faxes they receive	The machine's scanner may be dirty or the receiving party's print head may be dirty. Clean your scanner and make a copy to check if the problem was caused by the machine.
Handling Incoming Calls
F/T pseudo-ring in Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode.	The machine knows the incoming call is not a fax so it is signalling you to answer the telephone call. Pick up the handset or answer from an extension phone and press the machine's Deactivation Code (default setting is #51 (#91 for New Zealand)).
Transferring a fax call to the machine.	If you answered at the machine, press Fax Start and hang up immediately. If you answered at an extension phone, press your Remote Activation Code (default setting is $1 (*91 for New Zealand)). When the machine answers, hang up.
The Caller ID does not display after the Call Waiting Signal.	The Caller ID signal is sent ten seconds after the Call Waiting Signal and speaking may interfere with it. When you hear the Caller Waiting signal, ask the other party to hold while you catch the other call. Then stop speaking until you see the Caller ID on the LCD.
General Printing Difficulties (For MFC-4800 Only)
The machine does not print.	Make sure the machine is plugged in. The toner cartridge and drum unit are installed properly. The interface cable is securely connected between the machine and computer. Check to see if LCD is showing an error message.
The machine prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage.	Unplug the machine. Make sure your application software is correctly set up to use the machine by checking the primary settings in your application software.
The machine prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing.	Your computer is not recognizing the printer's “input buffer full” signal. Please make sure you connect the printer cable correctly.
The machine cannot print full pages of a document. An OUT OF MEMORY error message occurs.	Reduce the printer resolution. Reduce the complexity of your document and try again. Reduce the graphic quality or the number of font sizes within your application software.
My headers or footers appear when I view my document on the screen but do not show up when I print them.	Most laser printers have a restricted area that will not accept print. Usually these are the first two lines and last two lines, leaves 62 printable lines. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.
Windows® Setup Printing Difficulties (For MFC-4800 Only)
I cannot print from my application software.	Make sure the Windows® printer driver is installed and you select it in your application software.
Software Difficulties (For MFC-4800 Only)
“MFC Connect Failure”	If the machine is not connected to your PC and you have loaded the Brother software, the PC will show “MFC Connect Failure” each time you restart Windows®. You can ignore this message or you can turn it off by deselect theAutoLoad PopUpcheck box in the Brother Control Center chapter. (SeeHow to Turn Off AutoLoad, page 77.)
Paper Handling Difficulties
The machine does not load paper. The LCD showsCHECK PAPER or PAPER JAM	Check to see if theCHECK PAPER or PAPER JAMmessage appears on the LCD. If so, the Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder may be out of paper. If it is empty, load a new stack of paper into the feeder and then pressFax Start. If there is paper in the Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put it back into the Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder. Reduce the amount of paper in the Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder, then try again.
How can I clear paper jams? See Paper Jam, page 119.
Copy Quality Difficulties
Vertical streaks appear in copies	Sometimes you may see vertical streaks on your copies. Either the scanner or the primary corona wire for printing is dirty. Clean them both.
Print Quality Difficulties
Printed pages are curled.	Thin Paper (17lb-18.4lb) can cause this problem. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet feeder. (SeePaper Type, page 61 andMedia Type, page 68.)
Printed pages are smeared.	Rough surfaces or thick media can cause “smeared pages”-OR-“the toner to smear”. Make sure you select the correct Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet feeder. (SeePaper Type, page 61 andMedia Type, page 68.)
Printouts are too dark or light	Adjust the print conditions by setting the Print Density function. It has been factory set to the middle position. (SeeSetting the Print Density, page 23.)
Printed pages contain white stripes.White Stripes or Faint Images	You may fix this by wiping the scanner windows with a clean soft cloth. (SeeRegular Maintenance, page 127 andCleaning the Drum Unit, page 128.) If you still see white stripes or faint images and the display showsCHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.
Printed pages are stained with toner or have vertical stripes.Dark Stripes or Toner Stains	Clean the machine’s interior and the primary corona wire of drum unit. (SeeRegular Maintenance, page 127 andCleaning the Drum Unit, page 128.) Make sure that the tab of the corona wire is at the home position. If after cleaning, you still see dark stripes or toner stains and the display showsCHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.
Printed pages have white spots in black text and graphic areas. White Spots	Make sure that you use paper that meets the specifications. Rough surface or thick media can cause the problem. If you still see white spots and the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.
Toner scatters and stains the printed page. Scattering Toner	Adjust the print conditions by setting the Print Density function. Clean the machine's interior. (See Regular Maintenance, page 127 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 128.) Make sure that you use paper that meets specifications. (See Acceptable Paper, page 65.) If you still have scattered toner and the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.
The whole page is printed black. Black Page	Wipe the electric terminals. (See Regular Maintenance, page 127 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 128.) Also, do not use heat-sensitive paper as it will cause this problem. After cleaning, if the printed pages are still black and the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.
Nothing is printed on the page. White page	Make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty. Wipe the electric terminals referring to Regular Maintenance, page 127 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 128. Make sure that a torn piece of paper does not remain on the scanner window.
Printed pages are marked regular intervals. Example of Regular Marking	Markings may disappear by themselves. Try copying at multiple pages to clear this problem. Markings may occur if the machine has not been used for a long time. A possible cause is that the surface of the drum is marked or damaged by excessive exposure to light. In this case, replace the drum unit with a new one.
Printed pages are blurred at the centre or at either edge. Blurred Page	Certain environmental conditions such as humidity, high temperatures, etc. may cause this condition to occur. Make sure the machine is placed on a flat, horizontal surface. Remove the drum unit with the toner cartridge installed. Try rocking them from side to side. You may clear a blurred page by wiping the scanner windows with a clean soft cloth. (See Regular Maintenance, page 127 and Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 128.) If a blurred page occurs after cleaning and the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.
Ghost images appear on printed pages. Ghost Images	Adjust the print conditions by changing the Print Density setting, page 23. -OR- Rough surfaces or thick media can cause a ghost image. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet feeder. (See Paper Type, page 61 and Media Type, page 68.)

The drum unit is a consumable and it is necessary to replace it periodically.

4 Install the drum unit into the machine. (See Replacing the Drum Unit, page 132.)

5 Close the top cover.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

The machine can print approximately 2,200 pages with one toner cartridge (TN-8000). When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows CHANGE TONER. Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type (i.e. standard letter, detailed graphics). The above specifications relate to a 5% black coverage A4 size document.

It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the toner low warning.

Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, consult with Brother dealer for service. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. When discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate from domestic waste.

It is recommended that you clean the machine when you replace the toner.

The display shows TONER EMPTY to indicate that the toner is empty. Once this indication appears, the machine will not resume printing until you have installed a new toner cartridge.

DO NOT refill the toner cartridges. Attempting to use refilled toner cartridges and using incompatible toners may cause damage to the machine and such damage will not be covered by warranty. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of 3rd party consumables. We can only recommend the use of genuine Brother consumables.

Steps for Replacing Toner Cartridge

After you have just used the machine, some internal parts of the machine will be extremely HOT! So, never touch the shaded parts shown in the illustration below.

Replacing the Drum Unit

The machine uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the screen displays CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is nearly at the end of its life. Prepare a new drum unit to replace the current one. You may need to order one from your Brother dealer.

Even if the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue to print without replacing the drum unit for a while. However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality even before CHANGE DRUM SOON is shown, then the drum unit should be replaced. You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit.

When removing the drum unit, handle carefully because it contains toner. When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the machine.

The drum unit is a consumable, and it is necessary to replace it periodically. There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and toner that you use and the number of pages per print job, etc. The drum life is estimated at approximately 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.

For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner, and the product should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

After you have just used the machine, some internal parts of the machine will be extremely HOT! So please be careful.

About Fax Machines

If you are a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. You will soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

Fax Tones and Handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Fax Start, and they continue for about 60 seconds after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 60 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVING. If the machine is set to the Fax Only Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, the machine continues to send the “chirps” for about 60 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVING. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop/Exit.

When the machine is in Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, it answers with a short beep. After this beep, the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and then responds with receiving tones.

The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 60 seconds after the number is dialled. Therefore, it’s important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line, your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD (or answering machine) to the machine.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to check the integrity of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are possible only between machines that both have the ECM feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously checked for their integrity.

Sufficient memory must be available in the machine for this feature to work.
