INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Brother FAX-150. This Owner's Manual wili heip you derive the
fuilest benefits from this powerful, compact and feature-rich facsimile transceiver.
The Brother FAX-150 is a modern, compact desktop digital facsimile unit. Its performance is

facsimile units.
The FAX-150 is the ideal low-volume stand-alone unit or a satellite unit in a larger facsimile
network. Furthermore, the unit can be used as a convenience copier and as a sophisticated
business telephone.
All of the Brother FAX-150 features can be easily learned by following step-by-step procedures
listed on the following pages. As you become familiar with the features and operation of the
unit, keep the Owner's Manual handy for quick reference and reminders.
The Owner's Manual provides a step-by-step description of the procedures you should employ

these instructions, you will have no problem with either the installation or the operation of the
unit.
To facilitate your understanding of the material, the Owner's Manual deals with each major
concept and function pertinent to the installation and operation of the FAX-150 unit in a
separate section. First, you will read the pre-installation instructions. Then, you will be shown
how to install the unit. Next, we will show you how to use the unit as a convenience copier.
Although copying is not a major function, it is an easy one to learn and allows you to make sure
that the unit is operating properly. Then, we will explain how to use the basic facsimile functions
- transmission and reception of documents. This will be followed up by a detailed description of
facsimile-related programming operations. It is this programmability that makes the FAX-150
sucb a powerful, feature-rich unit for its class. Next, we will explain the operation of the
telephone features of the FAX-150, along with the phone-related programming operations.
The Owner's Manual will be concluded by troubleshooting hints and a speed-dialing directory, as
well as the unit's specifications.
Now, open the Owner's Manual to PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (next page) and
read the material carefully.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE REMOVING THE UNIT FROM THE PACKING CARTON
The Brother FAX-150 is designed to operate in an office environment or at home. It is rugged,
reliable and virtually maintenance-free. However, to ensure years of troubie-free performance,
please, observe the following precautions:
• Do not locate the unit near heaters, air conditioners, in direct sunlight or in extremely
dusty environments.
• Install the unit on a flat level surface, such as a desk, a table, a typewriter or computer
stand.
• Do not locate the unit where water or chemicals are likely to splash on it.
• Select a vibration-free area of your office.
• Locate the unit within 3 feet from a telephone wall jack.
• Locate the unit within 3 feet of a standard, grounded outlet.
• Avoid plugging in the unit into an outlet which is on the same line as an air conditioner, a
refrigeration unit, a copier, an electric typewriter or any other device that draws a lot of
current in a relatively short period of time.
CONTENTS OF THE PACKING CARTON
The packing carton contains:
1. The Brother FAX-150 unit
2. One roll of Brother thermal recording paper
3. Telephone handset
4. Handset curled cord
5. Telephone line cord
6. Owner's Manual
7. Warranty card
8. Test Sheet
9. AC power cord (permanently attached to the unit)
PROCEDURES FOR REMOVING THE UNIT FROM THE PACKING CARTON
1. Carefully open the carton (see the appropriate inscription on the carton)
2. Pull out the FAX-150 and the other devices together with the packing trays
3. Remove all packing trays and plastic from the unit
4. Take out the telephone line cord from the plastic packaging
5. Take out the telephone handset and the curled cord
6. Locate and take out the paper roll
INSTALLING THE UNIT
I. SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-150 unit to the public switched telephone
network (phone company lines) is to use a single telephone line. The connection is particularly
simple if you have a modular wall jack. The most common modular jack is referred to as the
USOC RJ11C jack. If you have such a jack, follow the instructions below. If your wall jack is
not modular, it is very easy to convert the wall plug to a modular form. Conversion kits are
available from your local phone company, an electronics / computer store (e.g.. Radio Shack) or
the AT&T Phone Center stores.
To connect your FAX-150 to the telephone line, follow these steps:
• Connect one end of the curled handset cord to the handset and the second end to the
jack on the side of the facsimile unit.
• Take the telephone cord which is also included in the carton and connect one of its plugs
to the jack in the back of the FAX-150 unit and the second plug to your modular wall
jack (USOC RJ11C). Now, the FAX-150 is connected to the telephone network.
Please see the illustration below for the telephone connections.
NOTE: If you have a MODULAR PHONE JACK (USOC RJ11C), simply plug the supplied
phone cord into the wall jack.
If you have the older 4-PRONG JACK, you must use a modular 4-prong adapter USOC RJA1X.
Plug the adapter into the wall jack and then plug the phone cord into the adapter. This is
illustrated below.

II. MULTI-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
Most offices have key systems or PBXs. While in many cases it is relatively easy to connect the
FAX-150 to a key system or a PBX, we suggest that you contact the organization which
installed your company's telephone system and ask them to connect the FAX-150 to the
system. If the FAX-150 is connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the
FAX-150 to the last line on the system. This way, the FAX-150 will not be activated by every
phone call coming into your office. The preferred solution is to ask the phone company to
assign a separate line to the facsimile unit. In this case, you can leave the unit in Automatic
Answer Mode 24 hours a day and derive full benefits from its automatic, unattended operations
capabilities.
III. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The FAX-150 can be plugged into any standard power (110 VAC) outlet. Simply make sure
that the outlet is grounded and that it is not on the same line as appliances or office machines
which tend to draw a lot of power in a very short period of time, such as refrigerators, copiers,
etc. The FAX-150 power requirements are listed in the SPECIFICATIONS.
IV. INSERTING THE RECORDING PAPER ROLL INTO THE UNIT
Before reading the instructions for inserting the recording paper into the unit, please consider
these important notes:
NOTE 1: The recording paper is heat-sensitive. Avoid exposure to high temperature, high
humidity or direct sunlight. Keep the received documents (or copied documents) away from
high temperature, direct sunlight, high humidity, alcohol, blueprints. Otherwise the documents
may become discolored.
NOTE 2: The use of Brother Recording Paper is specifically recommended for this unit. The
use of paper not authorized by Brother may adversely affect the unit's performance and may
void Brother's product warranty.
Brother Recording paper has a red stripe indicator. Its appearance on your received or copied
documents is a warning that the paper roll will be running out shortly. Replace the paper roll
when you see the red stripe. Furthermore, Brother Recording paper has a black stripe at the
end of the roll. If you had not changed the paper at the appearance of the red stripe, the unit
will auto-matically stop when the black stripe appears. This feature works only with Brother
Recording paper on Brother facsimile units. Please note that Brother recording paper rolls are
overwound (i.e., contain extra paper) so that you are not wasting paper when you remove the
roll when the indicator appears.
To insert the paper roll, follow these directions:
1. Make sure that the POWER switch is OFF. The switch is located on the back of the unit.
2. Press the recording paper cover button which is located at the right edge of the top of
the machine. This opens the cover.
3. Hold the recording paper roll so that the free end of the paper points towards you from
the top of the roll.
Be sure not to set the recording paper upside-down. If this happens, you will not get
any images on reception or copying.
4. Simply drop in the paper into the unit. There is no need to thread paper! Make sure that
approximately 4 inches (10 cm) of paper protrudes from the unit.
5. Push the cover shut until you hear a click.
6. Cut off excess paper pulled out from the unit by tearing it off in one smooth movement
against the cutting edge of the paper cover.
7. Turn the power ON.
This process is illustrated below.
