Telephone services and external devices
Telephone services overview
You can use a range of services and connections with your Brother machine. For more information or advice on setup, see Online User's Guide.
Voicemail
If you have a voicemail service on the telephone line that your Brother machine is connected to, they may conflict with one another when receiving incoming faxes. If using this service, we suggest setting the Brother machine's Receive Mode to Manual. (See Choose the Receive Mode on page 30.)
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
VoIP is a type of phone system that uses an Internet connection instead of a traditional telephone line. Your machine may not work with some VoIP systems. If you have questions about how to connect your machine to the VoIP system, contact your VoIP provider.
Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD)
You may choose to connect an external answering device to your Brother machine. To receive faxes successfully, you must connect it correctly. Connect your external TAD to the T-piece connector on the Brother line cable supplied with your machine. When recording an outgoing message on your external TAD, we recommend recording 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message, and limiting your speaking to 20 seconds. Set your machine's Receive Mode to External TAD.
External and extension telephones
You can connect a separate phone into the T-piece connector on your Brother line cable supplied with your machine. If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can make your machine receive the fax by pressing * 5 1. If the machine answers a voice call and fast double rings for you to take over, press # 5 1 to take the call on an extension telephone.

| Ink Absorber Pad Full | The ink absorber box or flushing box is full. These components are periodic maintenance items that may require replacement after a period of time to ensure optimum performance from your Brother machine. Because these components are periodic maintenance items, the replacement is not covered under the warranty. The need to replace these items and the time period before replacement is dependent on the number of purges and flushes required to clean the ink system. These boxes acquire amounts of ink during the different purging and flushing operations. The number of times a machine purges and flushes for cleaning varies depending on different situations. For example, frequently powering the machine on and off will cause numerous cleaning cycles since the machine automatically cleans itself upon power up. The use of non-Brother ink may cause frequent cleanings because non-Brother ink could cause poor print quality, which is resolved by cleaning. The more cleaning the machine requires, the faster these boxes will fill up. | The ink absorber box or flushing box must be replaced. Contact Brother customer service or your local Brother Authorised Service Centre to have your machine serviced. Other reasons for cleaning are:1 After a paper jam has been cleared, the machine automatically cleans itself before the next received fax page is printed.2 The machine automatically cleans itself after sitting idle for more than 30 days (infrequent use).3 The machine automatically cleans itself after ink cartridges of the same colour have been replaced 12 times. |
| Note Repairs resulting from the use of non-Brother supplies may not be covered under the stated product warranty. | ||
| Ink Absorber Pad NearFull | The ink absorber box or flushing box is nearly full. | The ink absorber box or flushing box must be replaced soon.Contact Brother customer service or your local Brother dealer. |
| Ink Low | One or more of the ink cartridges are near the end of their life. If one of the colour ink cartridges is near the end of its life and someone is sending you a colour fax, your machine's "handshake" will ask that the fax be sent as monochrome. If the sending machine has the ability to convert it, the colour fax will be printed at your machine as a monochrome fax. | Order a new ink cartridge. You can continue printing until the Touchscreen displaysCannot Print.(See Online User's Guide.) |

| There is a paper jam. | Remove the jammed paper by following the steps. (See Printer jam or paper jam on page 48.) Make sure the paper guides are set to the correct paper size. |
| Paper jam reoccurs. | If there is a repeat paper jam, a small piece of paper may be stuck in the machine. Make sure paper is not still jammed in the machine. (See Additional paper jam clear operations on page 53.) |
Printing Received Faxes
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| ■ Condensed print ■ Horizontal streaks ■ Top and bottom sentences are cut off ■ Missing lines | This is usually caused by a poor telephone connection. Make a copy; if your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection with static or interference on the telephone line. Ask the other party to re-send the fax. |
| Vertical black lines when receiving. | The sender's scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see if the problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine. |
| Left and right margins are cut off or a single page is printed on two pages. | If the received faxes are divided and printed on two pages or if you get an extra blank page, your paper size setting may not be correct for the paper you are using. (See Set Paper Size and Type on page 14.) |
| Turn on Auto Reduction. (See Online User's Guide.) |
Telephone Line or Connections
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| Dialling does not work. (No dial tone) | Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket inside the machine. |
| Change the Tone/Pulse setting. (See Online User's Guide.) | |
| If an external phone is connected to the machine, send a manual fax by lifting the handset of the external telephone and dialling the number using the external telephone. Wait to hear the fax receiving tones before sending fax. | |
| If there is no dial tone, connect a known-working telephone and telephone line cord to the socket. Then lift the external telephone's handset and listen for a dial tone. If there is still no dial tone, ask your telephone company to check the line and/or wall socket. | |
| The machine does not answer when called. | Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode for your setup. (See Choose the Receive Mode on page 30.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, ask your telephone company to check the line. |
Receiving Faxes
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| Cannot receive a fax. | Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket inside the machine. If you subscribe to DSL or VoIP services, contact your service provider for connection instructions. If you have problems due to possible interference on the telephone line, you can change the compatibility setting. (See Telephone Line Interference or VoIP System on page 65.) |
| Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode. This is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services you have on the same line as the Brother machine. (See Choose the Receive Mode on page 30.) If you have a dedicated fax line and want your Brother machine to automatically answer all incoming faxes, select Fax Only mode. If your Brother machine shares a line with an external answering machine, select External TAD mode. In External TAD mode, your Brother machine will automatically receive incoming faxes and voice callers will be able to leave a message on your answering machine. If your Brother machine shares a line with other telephones and you want it to automatically answer all incoming faxes, select Fax/Tel mode. In Fax/Tel mode, your Brother machine will automatically receive faxes and produce a fast double-ring to alert you to answer voice calls. If you do not want your Brother machine to automatically answer incoming faxes, select Manual mode. In Manual mode, you must answer every incoming call and activate the machine to receive faxes. | |
| Another device or service at your location may be answering the call before your Brother machine answers. To test this, lower the Ring Delay setting: ■ If the Receive Mode is set to Fax Only or Fax/Tel, reduce the Ring Delay to 1 ring. (See Ring Delay on page 32.) ■ If the Receive Mode is set to External TAD, reduce the number of rings programmed on your answering machine to 2. ■ If the Receive Mode is set to Manual, DO NOT adjust the Ring Delay setting. Have someone send you a test fax: ■ If you received the test fax successfully, your machine is operating correctly. Remember to reset your Ring Delay or answering machine setting back to your original setting. If receiving problems recur after resetting the Ring Delay, then a person, device, or subscriber service is answering the fax call before the machine has a chance to answer. ■ If you were not able to receive the fax, then another device or subscriber service may be interfering with your fax reception or there may be a problem with your fax line. | |
| Cannot receive a fax. (continued) | If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TAD mode) on the same line as the Brother machine, make sure your answering machine is set up correctly. (See Online User's Guide.) 1 Connect the external TAD correctly. (See Online User's Guide.) 2 Set your answering machine to answer in one or two rings. 3 Record the outgoing message on your answering machine. ■ Record five seconds of silence at the beginning of your outgoing message. ■ Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. ■ End your outgoing message with your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep, leave a message or press * 5 1 and Start to send a fax.” 4 Set your answering machine to answer calls. 5 Set your Brother machine's Receive Mode to External TAD. (See Choose the Receive Mode on page 30.) |
| Make sure your Brother machine's Fax Detect feature is turned On. Fax Detect is a feature that allows you to receive a fax even if you have answered the call on an external or extension telephone. (See Online User's Guide.) | |
| If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone line, try changing the Compatibility setting to Basic (for VoIP). (See Telephone Line Interference or VoIP System on page 65.) | |
| If you connect your machine to a PBX or ISDN line, set the menu setting of Telephone Line Type to your telephone line type. (See Online User's Guide.) |
Sending Faxes
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| Cannot send a fax. | Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket inside the machine. |
| Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error.(See Online User's Guide.) | |
| Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper. | |
| Poor fax send quality. | Try changing your resolution to Fine or S.Fine. Make a copy to check your machine's scanner operation. If the copy quality is poor, clean the scanner.(See Cleaning the scanner glass on page 33.) |
| Transmission Verification Report says RESULT:ERROR. | There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again. If you send a PC FAX message and get RESULT:ERROR on the Transmission Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory. To gain extra memory, you can turn off Memory Receive, print fax messages from the machine's memory or cancel a Delayed Fax or Polling Job. (See Online User's Guide.)If the problem continues, ask the telephone company to check your telephone line. |
| If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone line, try changing the machine's Compatibility setting to Basic (for VoIP). (See Telephone Line Interference or VoIP System on page 65.) | |
| If you connect your machine to PBX or ISDN, set the menu setting of Telephone Line Type to your telephone line type. (See Online User's Guide.) | |
| Vertical black lines when sending. | Black vertical lines on faxes you send are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip. Clean the glass strip. (See Cleaning the scanner glass on page 33.) |
Handling Incoming Calls
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| The machine “hears” a voice as a CNG Tone. | If Fax Detect is set to On, your machine is more sensitive to sounds. It may mistakenly interpret certain voices or music on the line as a fax machine calling and respond with fax-receiving tones. Deactivate the machine by pressing ✚. Try avoiding this problem by turning Fax Detect to Off. (See Online User's Guide.) |
| Sending a fax call to the machine. | If you answered on an extension or external telephone, press your Remote Activation Code (the factory default is * 5 1). If you answered on an external telephone, press Fax Start, and then press Receive to receive the fax. When your machine answers, hang up. |
| Custom features on a single line. | If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Caller ID, Voice Mail, an answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single telephone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving faxes. For example: If you subscribe to Call Waiting or another custom service and its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax, the signal can temporarily interrupt the fax. Brother's ECM (Error Correction Mode) feature should help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone system industry and is common to all devices that send and receive information on a single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a slight interruption is crucial to your business, we recommend using a separate telephone line with no custom features. |
Copying Difficulties
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| Vertical black lines or streaks appear in copies. | Black vertical lines on copies are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip. Clean the glass strip, scanner glass, and the white bar and white plastic above them. (See Cleaning the scanner glass on page 33.) |
| Black marks or spots appear in copies. | Black marks or spots on copies are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on the scanner glass. Clean the scanner glass and white plastic above it. (See Cleaning the scanner glass on page 33.) |
| Poor copy results when using the ADF. | Try using the scanner glass. (See Using the scanner glass on page 17.) |
| Fit to Page does not work correctly. | Make sure your source document is not skewed. Reposition the document and try again. |
Scanning Difficulties
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| Poor scanning results when using the ADF. | Clean the white bar and the glass strip underneath it. (See Cleaning the scanner glass on page 33.) |
| Vertical black lines appear in the scanned data. | Try using the scanner glass. (See Using the scanner glass on page 17.) |
PhotoCapture Center Difficulties
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| Removable Disk does not work correctly. | 1 Take out the memory card or USB flash drive and put it back in again. 2 If you have tried “Eject” from within Windows®, take out the memory card or USB flash drive before you continue. 3 If an error message appears when you try to eject the memory card or USB flash drive, it means the card is being accessed. Wait a while, and then try again. 4 If all of the above do not work, turn off your PC and machine, and then turn them on again. |
| Part of my photo is missing when printed. | Make sure that Borderless printing and Cropping are turned off. (See Online User's Guide.) |
Software Difficulties
| Difficulty | Suggestions |
| Cannot install software or print. | (Windows®) Run the Repair MFL-Pro Suite program on the CD-ROM. This program will repair and reinstall the software. |
Network Difficulties
| Difficulty | Suggestions |

Dial Tone detection
When sending a fax, by default your machine will wait for a fixed amount of time before it starts to dial the number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to Detection, you can make your machine dial as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting can save a small amount of time when sending a fax to many different numbers. If you change the setting and start having problems when dialling, you should change it back to the No Detection setting.

Basic(for VoIP) reduces the modem speed to 9,600 bps and turns off colour fax receiving and Error Correction Mode (ECM), except for colour fax-sending. Unless interference is a recurring problem on your telephone line, you may prefer to use it only when needed.
To improve compatibility with most VoIP services, Brother recommends changing the compatibility setting to Basic (for VoIP).
Normal sets the modem speed at 14,400 bps.

Service Life of Ink Cartridge
The machine uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges that are separate from the print head assembly.
The first time you install a set of ink cartridges the machine will use an amount of ink to fill the ink delivery tubes for high quality printouts. This process will only happen once. After this process is complete the cartridges provided with your machine will have a lower yield than regular capacity cartridges (65%). With all following ink cartridges you can print the specified number of pages.
Replacement Supplies
Black, Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta - Approximately 1,200 pages
Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 550 pages
1 Approx. cartridge yield is declared in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711.
For more information about the replacement supplies, visit http://www.brother.com/pageyield.
What is Innobella?
Innobella is a range of genuine supplies offered by Brother. The name "Innobella" derives from the words "Innovation" and "Bella" (meaning "Beautiful" in Italian) and is a representation of the "innovative" technology providing you with "beautiful" and "long lasting" print results.
