NOTE: THE FAX-210 DOES NOT HA VE A POWER ON/OFF SWITCH.
II. SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
The FAX-210 must always be connected to the power outlet prior to making the telephone line
connection. Similarly, when disconnecting the unit, the telephone line connection should be
removed before unplugging the unit. This procedure is necessary because the unit relies on the
power outlet's ground for your protection from any possibly hazardous electrical conditions that
may arise on the telephone network.
The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-210 unit to the public switched telephone
network (phone company lines) is to use a single telephone line. The connection is particuiarly
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 wali piug to a modular form. Conversion is very
simple and conversion kits are avaiiable from your local phone company, an electronics /
computer store (e.g.. Radio Shack) or the AT&T phone stores.
To connect your FAX-210 to the telephone line, foliow these steps:
• Connect one end of the curled handset cord to the handset and the second end to the RJ7
jack on the side of the handset cradle.
• Take the telephone cord which is also included in the carton and connect one of its plugs to the
LINE jack in the back of the FAX-210 unit and the second plug to your modular wall jack
(USOC RJ11C). Now, the FAX-210 is connected to the telephone network.
Please see the illustration on the next page for the telephone connections.
MODULAR PLUG
TO WALL OUTLET
If you have MODULAR PHONE JACKS (USOC RJ11C), simply plug the 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 card into the adapter. Then, follow
the instructions above.
III. MULTI-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
Most offices have key systems or PBXs. While in many cases it is relatively easy to connect the
FAX-210 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-210 to the
system. If the FAX-210 is connected to a key system, ask your installer to connect the FAX-
210 to the last line on the system. This way, the FAX-210 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 on 24 hours a day and
derive full benefits from its automatic, unattended operations capabilities.
IV. INSERTING THE RECORDING PAPER ROLL INTO THE UNIT
To insert the paper roll, follow the directions given below. 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 have not changed the paper at the appearance of the red stripe, the unit
will automatically 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. To open the paper cover, press the button
which is located at the right edge of the
top of the machine.
Hold the recording paper roll so that the
free end of the paper points towards you
from the top of the roil. Be sure not to
set the recording paper upside-down. If
this happens, you will not get any images
on reception or copying.
3. Drop in the paper into the unit. Place the
leading edge of the paper through the
paper cutter guide.
4. Push the cover unit until you hear a click.
5. Press STOP. The automatic cutter will cut
off excesspaper and the unit will go into
the standby mode (ready). The LCD will
change to:
6. If you forget to press STOP, the unit will
go into the standby mode as soon as
someone calls it.
V. INSERTING THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT TRAY
The original document tray consists of document tray, Call Directory and Quick-Reference Card,
and wire paper holder. The Call Directory Card and the Quick-Reference Card can be inserted
into the back side of the tray in the following step.
1. Turn the tray face down. Also hold the Call Directory Card and the QuickReference Card face down. Insert either left or right leg (positioned at the
bottom of the Cards) into the slit of the tray and then insert another leg. See
Illustration 1 below.
2. Slide the Cards down along the slits. Puts the upper part of the Cards below
the two protrusions coming out face to face at the top middle of the tray. (The
tray must still face down.) Slide the Cards down to the bottom of the slits.
3. Now turn the tray face up.
A wire paper holder also comes with this tray and can be easily installed into the tray. Locate
small holes at the top of the tray. Insert the legs of the paper holder into the holes. Make sure
the other end of the wire protrude upwards as shown below. Pre-installation is complete.
Insert the above tray into the slots at the top of the unit as shown in the Illustration 2 below.

II. HOW TO TRANSMIT DOCUMENTS
A. Preparing to transmit documents
^ MSG CTR
— AUTO ANS
^PASSWORD
You can start using the unit once it is plugged in, connected to the telephone network, has
paper inside of it and the LCD is in the standby mode. If you are satisfied with the factory
settings for various parameters (and, most of the users hardly ever have to change these
settings), you can start using the machine immediately.
Basically, the only difference between transmission and copying is that for transmission
you must dial a telephone number before pressing the START/COPY button!
The only programing most users do is to set the date and time and to program their fax number
and name so that they appear on the received document. All other programming can be postponed
for when you need some specific capability.
Also, bear in mind that the FAX-210 has an LCD which will display helpful prompts.
Furthermore, you can abort sending a document by pressing the STOP button.
12
B. Transmitting documents
Now, you are ready to transmit your document. The exact procedure for transmission depends
on your selection of one of these methods:
• Manual dialing
• One-touch dialing
• Speed dialing
Any of these methods can be used with manual transmission or automatic transmission. If you
use automatic transmission, the unit will feed your document before dialing, and will send in quick
mode. It is a manual transmission if you first pick up the handset or press the HOOK button
and then dial (either manual dialing, one-touch dialing or speed dialing). If you use one-touch dial
or speed dial and then press the START button, this is an automatic transmission.
1. One-touch dialing
The procedure for setting up one-touch numbers (up to 10 of them) is described in the PROGRAMMING
THE UNIT section of the Manual. The actual transmission procedure is :
a) Manual transmission
• Insert up to 5 documents into the feeder face down. The LCD shows:

If you have not registered the receiver's company name, the LCD shows the registered
receiver's facsimile telephone number:
FAX:052P263P583
The unit will start dialing automatically.
When you hear the fax tone, press START. A completion tone will sound for one second
after the transmission is completed. The LCD will revert to the standby mode.
