PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE REMOVING THE UNIT FROM THE PACKING CARTON
The Brother FAX-175 is designed to operate in an office environment or at home. It is rugged,
reliable and virtually maintenance-free. However, to ensure years of trouble-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.

6. Locate and take out the paper roll
Page 9
INSTALLING THE UNIT
I. SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-175 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-175 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-175 unit and the second plug to your modular
wall jack (USOC RJ11C). Now, the FAX-175 is connected to the telephone network.
Please see the illustration beiow 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-175 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-175 to the
system. If the FAX-175 is connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to connect the
FAX-175 to the last line on the system. This way, the FAX-175 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-175 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-175 power requirements are listed in the SPECIFICATIONS.
"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE EVENT OF A
POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UNPLUGGING THE UNIT
OR TURNING OFF THE UNIT'S MAIN POWER SWITCH."
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.
"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE EVENT OF A
POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UNPLUGGING THE UNIT
OR TURNING OFF THE UNIT'S MAIN POWER SWITCH."
To insert the paper roll, follow these directions:
1. Press the recording paper cover button which is located at the right edge of the top of
the machine. This opens the cover.
Page 11
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Push the cover shut until you hear a click.
5. 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.
This process is illustrated below.

original (D for dark, N for normal, L for light original, respectively).
3. Specify the FINE or PHOTO mode by pressing the FINE/PHOTO button. Unless you
specify either of these modes, the unit will automatically select the NORMAL mode
Please note that NORMAL o^ers the fastest transmission speed, followed by FINE
and then the PHOTO (the slowest).
4. Pick up the handset. After you hear the dial tone, dial the other party's number.
(a) If a voice answers, ask the other party to activate manual fax reception (if the
other unit is a Brother unit, the other party will push the START/COPY button;
if it is not a Brother unit, the other party may have to follow a different
procedure).
(b) If the other unit is set to automatic facsimile reception, you will hear the fax
ready tone. Press the START/COPY button. The START/COPY lamp will
light up. As the transmission starts, the lamp will stay on until completion.
(c) When the transmission is underway, replace the handset in its cradle.
(d) The original document will be pulled through the scanner.
(e) When a page is transmitted, the unit will emit a short beep.
(f) To transmit more than one page, wait for the short beep referred to in (e) and
feed in the next page. If no new document is fed into a scanner following the
short beep, a long beep will sound signifying the termination of the transmission
mode. The unit will release the phone line.
You can use the REDIAL button for automatically redialing the last number dialed (if, for
instance, it was busy when you first tried transmitting the document). To use this feature,
simply press the REDIAL button.
You may dial a number with the handset in its cradle. This can be done by pressing the HOOK
button and then dialing the number.
IMPORTANT TRANSMISSION INFORMATION:
Transmit papers one at a time.
• Do not transmit very thick pages (over 0.15mm thick). If you have to transmit such
pages, use a photocopier (not the FAX-175) to make a copy and transmit the copy
instead.
• Do not transmit wrinkled, wet, curled or torn documents. Make a photocopy and
transmit it instead.
Do not transmit documents printed on thick photographic paper, metal or textile. Make
a photocopy and transmit it instead.
Page 15
Do not transmit documents that are too thin (tissue paper, tracing paper, etc.) The
thinnest paper suitabie for transmission is 0.055mm. Make a photocopy and transmit it
instead.
Remove all staples and paper clips from the documents to be transmitted.
Do not transmit documents held together by scotch tape. Photocopy them and
transmit the photocopy.
Do not transmit carbon papers. Make a photocopy and transmit it instead.
Do not transmit documents with siippery surfaces. Make a photocopy and transmit it.
II. RECEPTION OF DOCUMENTS
The FAX-175 can receive manuaily or automaticaiiy. The choice is made by using the switch
marked AUTO ANS (lower front end of the unit). The OFF position switches the unit to manual
reception and the ON position aiiows automatic reception.
A. Manual Reception
When the AUTO ANS switch is in the OFF position, the foilowing should be done when the
phone rings:
1. Lift the handset.
2. If you hear a series of fax beeps, you'il know that a fax message is coming in.
3. Press the START/COPY button. The START/COPY iamp will iight up. As the
reception gets underway, the lamp will stay on. You may replace the handset in its
cradie. The paper wiil start coming out of the siot.
4. When the reception is compieted, the unit wiil emit a long beep.
5. Cut the recording paper with the received image. Make sure to do so oniy after the
iong beep so as not to affect the quaiity of the received image.
B. Automatic Reception
When the AUTO ANS switch is in the ON position, the foliowing wili occur:
1. The unit wiii receive the fax message automaticaiiy after one (1) ring. If you wish the
unit to receive the fax message after six (6) rings, use the switch on the back of the
controi panel (NO OF RINGS switch) to affect this change.
2.The START/COPY iamp wiil light up. As the reception gets underway, the lamp will
stay on. The paper will start coming out of the slot.
3. When the reception is compieted, the unit wiii emit a iong beep.
4. Cut the recording paper with the received image. Make sure to do so oniy after the
iong beep so as not to affect the quaiity of the received image.
NOTE: Remove a jammed document from the machine by opening the recording paper cover.
Otherwise the receive operation will fail.
Page 16

III. PASSWORD COMMUNICATION
The FAX-175 has a password code feature. If your unit's password switch (lower front) Is set,
and so is the sender's or receiver's switch, and the two passwords do not match, it is
impossible to receive or send a facsimile message. The password code feature is useful in
insuring the confidentiality of facsimile communication and in preventing an influx of fax "junk
mail." However, if set, it will inhibit the reception/transmission from/to non-Brother units and
from/to Brother units with a different password code. Therefore, unless strictly necessary, we
recommend that the password switch be left in the OFF position.
The programming of your password will be explained later.
NOTE: When you send a document in password mode, the alarm may sound in the following
cases:
{1) The receiver's facsimile unit does not have a password function
(2) The two paswords do not match
(3) You called a wrong number (a variant of the first case)
(4) The password switch of the receiving facsimile is set in the OFF position.

The FAX-175 offers a number of user-selectable functions via the User Selectable Switches
which are initially programmed as 0000000 by the factory. Each of these digits is a "switch"
that controls a specific parameter of the facsimile machine.
Digits
Parameters they control
Digit 1: The transmission speed
Digit 2: The presence or absence of audible tone
Digits 3 and 4: The resolution mode - NORMAL, FINE, PHOTO
Digit 5: Length of a document that can be transmitted or copied
Digit 6: The presence or absence of end-of-page mark
Digit 7: NOT USED
The following table summarizes the digits, the items they control, the factory settings, the
optional settings and the new codes for the optional settings. Remember, the factory settings
are all Os!

TELEPHONE AND ANSWERING MACHINE FEATURES
I. HOW TO USE THE FAX-175 AS A TELEPHONE
The FAX-175 possesses very sophisticated teiephone capabiiities. Yet, these capabiiities are
easy to use.
Please note that the FAX-175 can be used for voice conversation even when the unit is set to
automatic facsimile reception mode or when the unit is copying a document.
A. Telephone Controls
All numbers are dialed from the numeric key pad on the control panel of the FAX-175. This pad
is identical to the standard touch-tone telephone dial.
The four buttons to the left of the telephone key pad are used (from the top) as follows:
• PAUSE - When pressed, a 3.7 second pause is generated. This button
has other uses in telephone-related programming (see below).
REDIAL
SPEED DIAL -
HOOK
The other telephone-related controls are located at the back of the unit:
• PULSE/TONE Selects rotary vs. tone mode of operation
• RINGER VOLUME Offers three settings - High, Medium, Low
SPEAKER VOLUME
B. Using the handset
Pressing this button makes the phone automatically redial the
last number dialed. This button has additional uses (see
below).
Presssing this button initiates speed dial calls. This key is also
used to program the speed dial numbers into the unit's
memory.
Pressing this button allows you to initiate phone and fax calls
while the handset is on-hook. The built-in speaker (under the
handset) allows hands-off operation of the FAX-175 while
dialing. This button has other uses (as we've discussed in
facsimile-related programming). Please note, however, the
FAX-175 is NOT a "speaker phone I"
This control provides continuous volume adjustment from
HIGH (H) to LOW (L).
The handset of the FAX-175 is used just like any other handset of a standard telephone.
Please note the volume adjustment switch on the inside of the handset.
Page 25
19
C. Standard dialing
There are two ways to dial a telephone call or a fax call:
1. OFF-HOOK — Lift the handset, dial the number after hearing the dial tone.
2. ON HOOK — Make sure that the unit's power is ON. Press the HOOK button and you
can dial with the handset in its cradle after hearing the dial tone from the speaker. The
speaker is located under the handset.
D. Using the redial function
Redialing can be performed only immediately following a dialing (i.e., after you've dialed using
OFF-HOOK, ON-HOOK or Speed Dialing). The redial memory accepts up to 31 digits in TONE
mode or 32 digits in PULSE mode. If the number you've dialed has more than these numbers of
digits, redial will not work.
If you wish to keep the number you are dialing confidential and do not wish anyone to call it
after you leave the office or your desk unattended, simply press the redial buttom twice after
completion of dialing. The redial function will not function.
E. Speed Dialing
The FAX-175 allows you to program and use up to twenty (20) pre-recorded numbers of 16
digits (in pulse mode) or 15 digits (in the tone mode) each. If you need more digits, say for
credit card calls or international calls, you can program and use more than one location for this
longer number because the FAX-175 allows "chain dialing" (i.e., pressing several speed-dial
codes in sequence).
To program your most frequently-used telephone and fax numbers follow this procedure:
1. With the handset ON HOOK (in the cradle), press the SPEED DIAL button.
2. Dial the desired telephone or fax number (up to 15 digits in TONE MODE, up to 16
digits in PULSE mode).
3. Press the SPEED DIAL button again.
4. Assign this number a two-digit code, starting with 00 and going up to 19 (this covers
the entire 20 allowable numbers). Dial in this 2-digit code.
5. You can stop now or continue inputting the remainder of your frequently-used numbers
by returning to Step 1.
To use the speed-dialing feature of this unit, follow this procedure:
1. Lift the handset or press the HOOK button.
2. Press the SPEED DIAL button after hearing the dial tone.
3. Dial the 2-digit code for the desired number.
To erase a programmed speed-dial number, follow this procedure:
1. Press the SPEED DIAL button twice.
2. Press the 2-digit code for the number you wish to erase from thememory.
Page 26
20
Using the PAUSE button
If communicating from a PBX extension, the PAUSE button shouid be used. Pressing PAUSE
key between the numbers buiids in 3.7 seconds deiay needed to access the PBX's second dial
tone. If a longer time is needed, such as in case of overseas caiis, pressing the PAUSE button
several times can stack a number of pauses (e.g., pressing it twice wili give you 3.7 sec. x 2 =
7.4 sec. delay).
Pressing the PAUSE button, the REDIAL button or flipping the PULSE/TONE switch during a
rediai operation or a speed-dialing operation releases the pause. Using the same controis once
can aiso reiease a muitipie stacked pause.
II. THE MEMO FEATURE
Your FAX-175 provides you with an abiiity to record a voice memo which can be used by you as
a memory-jogger or be accessed by a member of your famiiy or a co-worker when you are out.
A. Recording the memo
To record a memo follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the TAD (Telephone Answering Device) is OFF (check this by looking at
the TAD lamp to make sure it is OFF).
2.Press the MEMO and RECORD buttons simultaneously. A short beep (1 sec.) will be
heard and the MEMO and RECORD lamps will flash. You may release the MEMO
button but keep the RECORD button depressed while you are recording the memo. If
the message memory is full (see the section on ICM below), you will hear an alarm.
3. When you hear a beep, you can start recording your memo (without releasing the
RECORD button). The recording time available for messages is variable (see the
section on ICM below). Five seconds before your allotted time runs out both the
MEMO and the RECORD lamps will start flashing faster.
B. Accessing the memo
Since the MEMO and the telephone messages recorded by the TAD utilize the same memory,
the method of retrieving a recorded memo is identical to that of retrieving a telephone message.
This procedure is described below (lll-C).
Please note that the ICM and MEMO lamp provides the following information:
No callers’ messages or memos recorded
Memo(s) recorded
Callers' messages recorded
ICM memory is full
Both ICM and MEMO lamps are OFF.
ICM lamp is OFF, MEMO lamp is ON.
ICM lamp is ON, MEMO lamp is OFF.
Both ICM and MEMO lamps are flashing.
Page 27
21
III. USING THE TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE (TAD)
A. Recording the Outgoing Message (OGM)
• Press the TAD button
• Press the RECORD button. You will hear a short beep. This button must be held
depressed for the entire time while you are recording the outgoing message. The
RECORD lamp will start blinking. You have 16 seconds in which to record the OGM
(outgoing message). During the last 5 seconds the lamp will blink rapidly. After the 16
seconds the unit will beep again and will stop recording the message. Of course, the
recording will stop prior to 16 seconds if you release the RECORD button.
The FAX-175 is unique among facsimile machines in that a caller, even with a fax message can
hear your voice (provided the TAD is ON). This is illustrated in the sample OGM below:
"This is (your name / company name). Sorry, we are not available now. Leave a message
after the tone. You have 16 seconds for your message. If you wish to send us a
facsimile message, push the STAR (*) button on your telephone keypad when you hear
our message or simply hit the START button after the second tone."
NOTE: The OGM can say "28 seconds" instead of "16 seconds" or whatever number you've
selected. The method of selection is discussed below. The timing (i.e., 28 seconds or 16
seconds) refers to the length of the ICM - the incoming message, i.e., the message left by a
caller on your TAD.
When the caller presses the STAR (*) button within five (5) seconds after hearing your OGM,
the FAX-175 will change from TAD mode to facsimile mode. If the STAR (*) button is not
pushed, the unit will beep and the caller can record a message. After the caller's message is
recorded, the unit beeps again and the unit goes into the fax mode. If no fax message is
forthcoming within 30 seconds, the FAX-175 releases the phone line.
If you are present while all of the above is going on, you can hear the entire above operation
using the monitor mode through the speaker.
The TAD function of the FAX-175 is an enhancement of the unit's facsimile capabilities. Even
though the unit cannot record very long messages (as can be done on traditional answering
machines), the FAX-175 offers remarkable flexibility with a high quality TAD.
B. Playback of the OGM
To verify that you've recorded an appropriate message, press the TAD button. The TAD lamp
will light. The OGM message will be heard over the unit's speaker. If you are dissatisfied with
the message, simply press the RECORD button and the unit will be available for re-recording of
the message.
C. Playing back the callers' messages and voice memos
If someone called your unit and left a message or you and/or a member of your family or
someone in your office left a voice memo, the ICM lamp or the MEMO lamp will light. To
retrieve the message, disengage the TAD by pressing the TAD button (top check this, see
whether the TAD lamp is OFF). Then press the MEMO button. You will hear the recorded
message through the unit's speaker. If there is more than one message, the unit will emit a 3second beep between messages.
Page 28
22
To skip to the next message, press the MEMO button while a message is playing. The unit will
emit a 1-second beep before the next message.
If you need to stop the playback of a caller’s message or a memo, press MEMO and STOP
buttons during the playback or during the beeping between the messages or memos.
If you had to stop listening to recorded messages during a message-separating beep, and you
now wish to resume listening, you can do so in two different ways:
1. Pressing the MEMO button once will play back the messages from the top of the very
first message.
2. Pressing the MEMO and START/COPY buttons together will let you resume the
playback just before the point where you've stopped earlier.
If you had to stop listening to playback in the middle of a message —
1. Pressing the MEMO button will start you off at the very beginning of the recorded
messages.
2.Pressing the MEMO and the START/COPY button will start you off with the message
which was interrupted.
D. Erasing the messages/memos
Make sure that the TAD switch is OFF.
To erase a message or a memo press the FINE/PHOTO and RECORD buttons simultaneously
while the message or memo is playing or during the beep following this message. You will hear a
1 -second beep and the message or memo will be erased.
To erase all messages or memos, press FINE and RECORD buttons when the message or rmemo
is not playing. You will hear a 3-second beep.
E. Remote operation of the TAD
The messages recorded on your FAX-175 TAD can be retrieved from any touch-tone telephone,
provided, you know the security code (to be described below in F). This is how the remote
operation works:
1. Dial the telephone number of your FAX-175 unit.
2. When you hear the OGM (your Outgoing Message), press the # button repeatedly until
you hear a short beep (1 second).
3. Dial in the 3-digit Security Code within 15 seconds of hearing the beep. If the code is
correct, you will hear a short beep (1 second). If the code is incorrect, you will hear a
series of short beeps. Try again!
IMPORTANT NOTE: If there are no messages on your TAD, you will hear a series of short
beeps.
Now, you are ready to request the FAX-175's TAD to perform some functions. These functions
and the remote commands needed to activate them are shown in the table below.

NOTE: A short beep is heard repeatedly for 30 seconds when each function has been
completed. To continue with another function, press # within 30 seconds after a 1 sec. beep.
The FAX MESSAGE COUNT is a feature that is unique to Brother. Its main purpose is to save
you a trip to check on the arrival of that important fax message you've been waiting for. If the
count is zero, there is no need to rush back.
F. Setting the TAD security code
The TAD security code is a three digit number that is designed to prevent unauthorized remote
access to the messages recorded on your TAD. The factory setting is 000. To set your own
code, follow this procedure:
1. Turn the power OFF.
"CAUTION: BOTH ICM AND OGM MESSAGES WILL BE ERASED IN THE
EVENT OF A POWER INTERRUPTION. CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN
UNPLUGGING THE UNIT OR TURNING OFF THE UNITS MAIN POWER
SWITCH."
2. Press the HOOK button and keep it depressed until FINE lamp blinks as you turn the
power back ON.
3. Press the FINE/PHOTO button four (4) times to select the TAD Security Code Set
Mode.

The START/COPY lamp will start to blink when the printout is finished.
10. If your entries are incorrect, press the STOP button and then the START/COPY
button. The FINE lamp will start to blink. This will bring you back to step 3 where you
can select this procedure all over again.
If your entries are correct, press the START/COPY button to complete the selection
of numbers. Now you have two choices. Choice (1) allows you to continue with
registration of other parameters. To do so, you press START/COPY button again
which will bring you back to step 3 above and where you can use the FINE/PHOTO
button to select the desired parameter. Choice (2) is to terminate the registration
process by pressng the STOP button.
G. How to change the number of ICM
The unit is capable of recording a total of 112 seconds worth of messages and memos. The
factory setting breaks up this total time into seven (7) messages of 16 seconds each. It is
possible, however, that you would prefer longer messages or shorter messages. Since the
total time must stay as 112 seconds, the longer the message the smaller the number of
messages. The table below summarizes your choices:
