NOTE
PBX and TRANSFER 8
The machine is initially set to Normal, which
lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network) line.
However, many offices use a central
telephone system or Private Branch
Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be
connected to most types of PBX. The
machine’s recall feature supports timed break
recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most
PBX systems allowing you to gain access to
an outside line, or transfer calls to another
extension. The feature works when Tel/R is
pressed.
BT Call Sign (U.K. only) 8
The BT Call Sign subscriber service is a way
to have a separate number for your machine;
it allows you to have at least two separate
telephone numbers on one phone line. Each
phone number has its own distinctive ringing
pattern.
You can set up your machine so that it only
responds to the second number.
When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON,
the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Manual mode will not respond
to incoming telephone calls since the number
you use for telephone calls will use the
normal ring pattern. If you turn the feature off,
your receive mode will remain on Manual.
Connecting an external TAD (MFC-1900(E) and MFC-1910W(E) only)
You can connect an external Telephone
Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as
your machine. When the TAD answers a call,
your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax
calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine.
If it hears them it will take over the call and
receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will
let your TAD take a voice message and the
display will show Telephone.
The external TAD must answer within four
rings (we recommend you set it to two rings).
This is because your machine cannot hear
the CNG tones until the external TAD has
picked up the call. The sending machine will
send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds
longer. We do not recommend using the toll
saver feature on your external TAD if it needs
more than four rings to activate it.
If you have problems receiving faxes,
reduce the ring delay setting onyour
external TAD to one or two rings.

c Set the TAD to answer calls.
d Set the Receive Mode on your machine
to External TAD. (See Receive
modes on page 59.)
Multi-line connections (PBX) 8
We suggest you ask the company who
installed your PBX to connect your machine.
If you have a multi line system we suggest
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the
last line on the system. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. If all
incoming calls will be answered by a
switchboard operator we recommend that
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will
operate correctly under all circumstances
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties
with sending or receiving faxes should be
reported first to the company who handles
your PBX.
8
Recording an outgoing message (OGM) 8
a Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. (This allows
your machine time to listen for the fax
CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
For example: “After the beep, leave a
message.”

External and extension telephones 8
Connecting an external or extension telephone 8
You can connect a separate telephone
directly to your machine as shown in the
diagram below.
1 Extension telephone
2 External telephone
When you are using an external telephone,
the LCD shows Telephone.
For Fax/Tel mode only 8
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (fast double-ringing) to
alert you to pick up a voice call.
The most common problem is someone
picking up an extension telephone while the
machine is trying to send a fax.
Such problems can easily be eliminated, if
you arrange modification of your extension
wiring circuit, such that extension devices are
connected “downstream” of your machine, in
a master/slave configuration (see figure 2). In
such a configuration, this machine can
always detect whether a telephone is in use,
so it will not attempt to seize the line during
that time. This is known as “telephone
off-hook detection”.
The inadvisable configuration is shown in
figure 1, and the recommended master/slave
configuration is shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be
arranged by contacting BT, Kingston upon
Hull Telecommunications, your PBX
maintainer or a qualified telephone
installation company as appropriate. Simply
explained, the extension telephone circuit
should be terminated on a normal modular
plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be
inserted into the modular socket of the white
“T”-shaped connector provided as part of the
line cord assembly.

Tel/R to answer.
Using extension telephones (U.K. only) 8
Your premises may already be wired with
parallel extension telephones (those
connected to sockets in other rooms in the
building), or perhaps you intend to add
extension telephones to your line. While the
simplest arrangement is a parallel
connection, there are some reasons why this
arrangement may cause problems.

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the telephone line cord (see
Connecting an external or extension
telephone on page 72) and you typically carry
the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to
answer calls during the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, lift the
cordless handset and then go to the machine
so you can press Tel/R to transfer the call to
the cordless handset.
Not all brands of cordless telephones are
compatible for use with your machine.

• Brother machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to
a level of optimum performance when used with Brother Original toner cartridges. Brother
cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications
are used. The machine may not detect toner or toner cartridges of other specifications correctly
but may instead detect such items as standard yield toner cartridges. Brother does not
therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges with this
machine, or the refilling of empty cartridges with toner from other sources. If damage is caused
to the drum unit or other parts of this machine as a result of the use of toner or toner cartridges
other than Brother Original products due to the incompatibility or lack of suitability of those
products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the
warranty.
• For best performance, use a Brother Original drum and toner cartridge. Printing with a third
party drum unit or toner cartridge may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and
life of the machine itself. Warranty coverage may not apply to problems caused by the use of
a third party drum or toner cartridge.

• Go to http://www.brother.com/original/index.html for instructions on how to return your used
consumable items to the Brother recycling program. If you choose not to return your used
items, please discard the used consumable according to local regulations, keeping it separate
from domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office. (For more
information, see Product Safety Guide.)
• The projected life for each of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19752. Frequency of
replacement will vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage
and type of media used.
