Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts,
Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its Authorized Service
Centers, will repair this MFC/Facsimile machine free of charge if defective in material or
workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables
(including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner and drum) or damage
caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage
caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a
Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable
items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the MFC/Facsimile machine in excess
of the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed
abuse and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In

shipped freight prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized Service
Center, together with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt.

applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the MFC/Facsimile and
will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)
For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your
print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty.
(Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)

1 - 4 INTRODUCTION
About Fax Machines
If you’re a first-time fax machine 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.
Custom Features
Do You Have Voice Mail on the Phone Line?
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line on which you will install your new fax
machine, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the fax machine will
conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.
Why Should There Be Trouble?
Since both fax machines and Voice Mail pick up the line at the number of rings
you have set, each of them has the ability to keep the other from receiving calls.
For example, if your Voice Mail is set to answer after two rings and your fax
machine is set to answer after four, your Voice Mail will keep your fax machine
from receiving faxes. If you set Voice Mail and the Brother machine to answer
at the same number of rings, there is no way of knowing which one will answer
first. It is important to remember that neither Voice Mail nor the fax machine
can pass the call back to the other after the call has been answered.
How Can You Avoid Possible Problems?
A very good way to avoid a problem like the one mentioned previously is to get
a second phone number on your present phone line. Many people with Voice
Mail opt for this choice, which is called “Distinctive Ring”, and they are very
satisfied with it. For details about this type of custom service, please see
Distinctive Ring, page 8-1.
Another way to avoid a possible problem is to replace your Voice Mail with an
answering machine. Your Brother fax machine is designed to work in tandem
with an answering machine or TAD (telephone answering device).
(See
Connecting an External TAD (Telephone Answering Device), Page 2-10.)
INTRODUCTION 1 - 5
Fax Tones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the 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; they continue for about 60 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 60 seconds over the phone line, and the LCD
shows RECEIVING. If your machine is set to the FAX mode, it will answer
every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs
up, your 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 your machine answers in FAX/TEL mode, the 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 machine’s “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 60 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 Assembly and Connections chapter
for connecting a TAD to your machine.
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the 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 your machine for this feature
to work.

Choosing a Location
Place your 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 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 machine
to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Make sure nothing blocks
the flow of air from the fan on the sides 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.

■ Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed
for a wet location.
■ Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.
■ Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
■ 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.
■ For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the
equipment and should be easily accessible.
