Year 2000 Compliant

Brother is addressing the Year 2000 related issues for all Brother fax machines and multi-function centers. Our focus is to ensure that our bundled third party software will continue to properly process date/time data after January 1, 2000.

Brother fax machines and multi-function centers will function properly after January 1, 2000, provided that all non-Brother hardware, software and firmware used by our customers in connection or combination with Brother fax machines, MFCs and bundled software, accurately exchange date data with the Brother products.

Please continue to check our Web page for updates at http://www.brother.com . All remedies will be provided to individual customers via software patches through software download or from Brother Customer Service.

This system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can use the system to send faxes to any fax machine, not just the one from which you are calling.

If you can’t resolve a difficulty with your MFC using this manual, call our Fax-Back System, and follow the voice prompts to receive faxed instructions about using the system and an index of Fax-Back subjects.

Introduction

UsingThis Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Brother multi-function center (MFC). This MFC has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your MFC to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual.

Additionally, your MFC has a Help Key. Press Help/Broadcast to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.

Finding Information

All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be able to find information about a specific feature or function by checking the Index in the back of this manual. Also, throughout this manual, you’ll see special symbols alerting you to important information, crossreferences, and warnings. Illustrations of some screen displays also help you choose the correct key-presses.

Test Sheet Procedures (For USA Only)

See

Station ID

p. 33

After programming your Station ID, please fill out the TEST SHEET included with your MFC and fax it to Brother’s Automated Fax Response System as your first transmission. This will verify that your MFC is properly installed.

When this document is received a confirmation sheet will be sent back to your machine. To get a response, be sure to set up your Station ID.

About Fax Machines

If you’re a first-time MFC user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. Soon, you’ll recognize 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 MFC sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Start , and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing. 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 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVING. If your MFC is set to the FAX mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your MFC continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVING. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop .

I N T R O D U C T I O N	3

When your MFC answers in FAX/TEL mode, the MFC 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 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 40 seconds after the number is dialed. 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 to your MFC.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC 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 your MFC for this feature to work.

Choosing a Location

Place your MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the MFC near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet.

Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Make sure nothing blocks the flow of air from the fan on the right side of the machine. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your 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.

WARNING

■This MFC must be grounded using a three-prong plug.

■Since the MFC is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to your machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.

■Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on the telephone line, or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.

■Do not touch the rollers at the paper exit.
