Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or
“rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your fax machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last
number in the sequence so the call can not roll away. Do not put the fax machine
on any of the other numbers. When the other lines are busy and a second fax call is
received, the fax call is transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine.
Two Line Phone System
A two line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on the same
wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into
one jack (RJ14). Your fax machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain 4 wires (black, red,
green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two line phone and see if it can access
both lines. If it can, you must separate the lines for your fax machine.
Converting Telephone Wall Outlets
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 receptacle. The first two ways may
require assistance from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlet from
one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and
slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it. The third way is the easiest. Buy a
triplex adapter.
You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 wall outlet. It will separate the wires into
two separate RJ11 jacks (line 1, line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (lines 1 and 2). Plug the
fax machine into L2 of the triplex adapter.

SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Installing a Fax Machine, Two Line TAD and Two Line Telephone
When you are installing a two line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two line
telephone, your fax machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and
at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the fax machine on line 2. The back
of the two line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1 and L2 and
the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords: the one that
came with your fax machine and two for your two line TAD. You will need a fourth
line cord if you add a two line telephone.
Place the two line TAD and two line telephone beside your fax machine. Plug one end
of the telephone line cord for your fax machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter;
plug the other end into the LINE jack in the back of the fax machine. Plug one end
of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter;
plug the other end into the L1 or L1 and L2 jack in the back of the two line TAD. Plug
one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack in the back
of the two line TAD; plug the other end into the EXT jack in the back of the fax
machine. The two line TAD hookup is complete. It will answer both lines as usual.
You can keep two line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways
to add a two line telephone to the fax machine’s wall outlet. Plug the telephone line
cord from the two line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. If you
prefer, you can plug it into the TELE jack in the back of the two line TAD instead.

Connecting Your Machine to a Multi Line System (PBXs)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to
connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (private branch exchange), we suggest
you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to
connect the fax machine for you.
It is advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can then leave the
machine in Fax Answer Mode to receive faxes at any time of the day or night.
If the fax machine is to be connected to a multi-line system, ask your installer to
connect the unit to the last line on the system. This will prevent the unit from being
activated each time a telephone call is received.
• As with all fax units this machine must be connected to a two wire system. If your
line has more than two wires, proper connection of the fax machine can not be
made.

SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Connecting to a Private Branch Exchange
The following points should be kept in mind if you are installing the machine to work
with a private branch exchange(PBX).
1) It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all circumstances
with PBXs. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that
handles your PBX.
2) If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is recommended
that the Answer Mode be set to Manual. (See page 7-1~2.) All incoming calls
should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
3) The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialing telephone types.
Custom Features on Your Phone Line
If you have Call Waiting, Ring Master, Voice Mail, an Answering Service, Alarm
System or any other custom calling feature on your telephone line it may create a
problem in the operation of your fax machine.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Types of Numbers
When you store a number as a One-Touch or as a Speed-Dial number, you have a
choice of choosing the type of number. There are 4 options:
1 . FAX (A fax number).
2. TEL (A telephone number).
3. F/T (Both a fax number and a telephone number)
4. CHAIN (A number, usually an access code, for chain dialing).
Chain Dialing
Chain dialing is used to store a very long dialing sequence. You can spread the
number over two or more keys if you register the first key(s) in the sequence as type
“Chain”. Chain tells the system that the dialing sequence is not completedand that there is more to follow. The last key in the sequence must be any other
dial type (either FAX, TEL or F/T). You can use any combination of One-Touch,
Speed-Dial and manually dialed numbers in a chain.
If you must wait for another dial tone at any point in the dialing sequence, store a
pause at that point in the number by pressing the Pause/Redial key. (If you need a
pause that is longer than 3.5 seconds, call our Fax Diagnostic Center at 1-800-2844329 (USA), 1-800-853-6660 (CANADA) for assistance.) Only one pause can be
stored in each One-Touch and Speed-Dial number.
When you are ready to dial the chain number, simply press the keys one after the
other in sequence and then press the Start key.
Chain dialing makes using access codes easy. Sometimes you may want to choose
from among several long-distance carriers when you make a call; rates may vary
depending upon the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can
store the access code of a long-distance carrier as you would a regular number and
register it as a “chain” number. Then to dial, press this (access code) number followed
by the regular number and the Start key.
You can set up chain dialing for phone/credit card numbers, the same way. However,
when using chain dialing, do
card number will be on it.

Storing Speed-Dial Numbers
When you store a phone or fax number as a Speed-Dial number, you must enter a two-digit
number, from 01 to 00 (00=100) for using the number keys. For example, you cannot enter “5”.
You must enter “05”. You can store as many as 100 numbers as Speed-Dial numbers.

Memory Storage
Your fax machine is equipped with an internal battery that will keep the date and
time information for up to two hours after power has been cut off. After that time, the
date and time will be lost and you will have to reenter the information. All other
settings in the SET AUTO DIAL, USER OPTIONS and SETUP SYSTEM functions
(see page 3-3~6) are stored permanently and will be retained even in the event of a
power failure. However, the data stored in the memory during Out-of-Paper
Reception and Memory Transmission will be lost when the power is disconnected.
Helpful Hints
If your fax machine is connected to a PBX, you may have to insert an additional
number before each fax or telephone number to access an outside line.
Setting Up Number Groups
Number Groups allow you to send the same fax message to many fax numbers by pressing only
one One-Touch key. (This is called Broadcasting.) You must store each fax number first as a OneTouch or Speed-Dial number. Then you can combine the stored numbers into a Group.
You can have up to 6 smaller Groups (each group uses a One-Touch key) or can assign up to 139
numbers to be in one Group. You can use the same stored number in several groups. Groups can
have a name up to 15 characters long.

Sending a Fax
There are 3 basic ways to send a fax:
1 ) Manual transmission:
You can talk or listen to the other party before you send a fax by picking up the
handset and dialing the number. After the other party has finished talking and
has pressed the Start button, you will be able to send your fax by pressing yourStart key and placing the handset in its cradle. (If you call and all you hear is
the chirping sound of a fax machine, you can go ahead and press your Start key,
and then replace the handset.)
2 ) Automatic transmission:
You can send a fax without picking up the handset or without pressing Hook by
dialing the fax number and then pressing Start.
a . One-Touch Dialing
Press one of the One-Touch keys. (The numbers must be stored beforehand. See
page 4-4.) Then press Start.
b . Speed-Dialing
Press Speed-Dial, then use the number keys to enter a two-digit number.
For example, press “05” for 5. (The numbers must be stored beforehand. See
page 4-6.) Then press Start.
c. Telephone Index
You can use the Tel-Index to make telephone or fax calls.(See page 5-2.)
3 ) Timer transmission:
It is possible to send documents at a later time by using the TIMER function. (See
page 6-7~8.)
Talking to the Other Party When Sending a Fax
When you are sending a fax manually and you hear the recipient’s voice instead of
fax tones, you can use the handset to have a conversation. When or if you want to then
send a fax, ask the person on the other line to press Start on his/her fax machine and
when you hear fax tones you can press Start to begin sending your fax.

Automatic and Manual Redialing
If a number you have dialed is busy or your call did not go through for some other reason, you can
redial that number. There are two ways to redial: “automatic” and “manual.” Automatic redialing
can be used only for faxes that were sent using automatic transmission—not for telephone calls.
The fax machine automatically will redial the number 3 times at 5 minute intervals before giving
up. When you press the Redial/Pause key (manual redialing), the fax machine will redial the
last number that was dialed.

By using the numbers you have stored for One-Touch dialing, Speed-Dialing, or group dialing, you
can automatically send faxes to a maximum of 140 different locations at once. Remember, each
group you created reserves one of the One-Touch keys. You can not broadcast to a number that

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.
Error Retransmission
Error Retransmission is helpful when the receiving machine does not have ECM. Even though
your machine can not check the integrity of the message, it will send the affected page(s) again
after occurrances of accidental noise have caused an error.
This feature is available only for memory transmission using Super Quick-Scan (see
page 6-6~10).

Next-FAX Reservation
You can use Next-FAX Reservation for sending a fax when the fax machine is busy receiving or
transmitting from memory. This function saves you from having to wait until the incoming fax
has printed or the fax stored in memory has finished transmission. To use the Next-FAX
Reservation feature, insert the documents as you normally would and follow a few other simple
steps.
FAX TRANSMISSION OPTIONSSENDING FAXES
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
• Next-FAX Reservation can not be used when there are documents in the document
feeder awaiting Delayed Transmission or Polled Waiting or when the Interrupt
function is in use.
• When you are making a call using Next-FAX Reservation, you can dial manually,
or use One-Touch, Speed-Dial, Redial, or Chain dialing. However, when you use
One-Touch dialing, the screen will display only the number of the One-Touch
number you are using, such as “*01” and not the name of the person you are
calling. Similarly, if you use Speed-Dialing, the screen will show you only the
Speed-Dial number, such as “#02”.
• You can set the resolution for Next-FAX Reservation by pressing Resolution, but
you can not change any settings using the Function key. (For example, you can
not change a setting for multiple resolution transmission by using function mode.)

When you are at the fax machine, you will probably answer incoming calls before your fax
machine or answering machine is programmed to pick up. If you answer a call and no oneseems to be on the line, assume it is a fax message. Do not hang up. You must activate your
fax machine to take over the call first. (If you are holding the fax handset, just press the Start key
and hang up.) If you are on an extension/external phone, press *51 and wait for your faxmachine to respond before you hang up. After 3 seconds you will hear receiving tones (chirps)
through the handset of the extension phone. Then hang up. You can repeat the code as many times
as needed. Your fax machine will take over the call and print the fax message. If your caller wants
to talk before sending the fax, you can have a conversation first and then activate your fax
machine with the code.
The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you are using a TAD, your
outgoing message (OGM) should end with the statement “to send a fax, press *51”. (See the
section on Connecting a Telephone Answering Device for more information.)

When your fax machine is in F/T mode, sometimes it will answer a call that is not fax calling tones
(a telephone call or manual fax). It will respond with a double ring (short, short) to alert you to
take over. Because it has already answered the call, only the fax machine will ring, extension
phones are no longer connected to the call. Pick up any phone on the line, except an external phone
connected to the fax machine.
To take over the call at the fax machine:
Pick up the handset of the fax machine and talk to the caller as usual. If no one is there or someone
is trying to send you a manual fax, press the Start key and replace the handset. Your fax machine
will display RECEIVING and print the incoming fax message.

You can change the codes at any time. It may be easier for you and your callers to press the same
key three times (Example: *** and ###). Although you can change the codes to any numbers you
want, try to avoid using digits for the Activation Code. The Remote Activation Code can not match
any number you dial. If you try to dial a phone number that includes the Activation Code, your
fax machine will go into receiving mode.

When you have a Telephone Answering Device on the fax phone line, the TAD will answer all the
incoming calls. Your Brother fax machine will listen in on the line for fax CNG tones. If it hears
them, it will take over the call and receive the fax message. If it does not hear fax tones, it will
let the TAD continue playing the outgoing message so the caller can leave a voice message.
The TAD must answer within 4 rings (2 rings are recommended). The fax machine can not hear
the CNG calling tones until the TAD answers the call. When the Ring Delay is set for 4 rings, only
8-10 seconds of CNG calling tones are left for the “handshake”. So you must strictly follow the
instructions for recording your OGM.
You must erase the incoming messages frequently on your TAD. When the TAD’s memory is full
it will not answer any incoming calls (fax or voice).
Set your fax machine’s answer mode to TAD (Fax and F/T lights on).

There is only one way you can hook up a Telephone Answering Device (TAD) on the fax phone line.
The TAD must be plugged into the back of the fax machine in the jack labeled EXT. Your fax
machine can not work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack. Follow these steps:
1. Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the back of the fax machine in the jack
labeled LINE.
2. Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the back of the fax machine in the jack labeled
EXT. (Double check that the telephone line cord comes from the jack in the TAD for telephone
line and not for telephone set.)
3. Put your fax machine in TAD mode by turning both the Fax and F/T lights on.
4. Set your TAD to 4 rings or less. (The fax machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply).
5. Turn the TAD’s Answer mode to ON.
6. Record the OGM (outgoing message) on your TAD as explained below.

The TAD’s outgoing message is important because it must be set up to handle two kinds of fax
receptions: automatic and manual. Timing is important.
1. Record 5 seconds of silence as the beginning of your message. (Your fax machine will be able
to hear the fax calling tones, of automatic fax transmissions, before they stop.)
2. Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3. End your 20 second message by giving your Remote Activation Code for people sending manual

What Is Distinctive Ringing?What Is Distinctive Ringing?
Distinctive ringing is a service offered by the telephone carriers that allows you to have several
different numbers on one phone line, so you can have a separate number for your fax machine.
Each number has its own distinctive ringing pattern. This way, when you get an incoming call,
you can identify the number being called by its ring. Your local telephone company can provide
more information about this service. The service is usually offered as a monthly charge to your
normal telephone bill.

What is the Advantage of Using the Distinctive Ringing Function?What is the Advantage of Using the Distinctive Ringing Function?
Using Distinctive Ringing is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the
same line. It is much easier for your callers who dial manually. The fax machine will answer with
receiving tones so they will not have to press an activation code (TAD mode) or wait 30 seconds
to hear fax tones (F/T mode). And the people who call to talk on your main number, will not have
to talk to your fax machine. Basically, it gives you two independent numbers without the higher
cost of a second line.

Yes, it has a distinctive ringing function that allows you to register the distinctive ringing pattern
of an additional phone number on the line. The number you register must be the number you want
to use as your dedicated fax number. Once you register the ringing pattern, the fax machine will
be able to identify its own incoming calls and automatically receive faxes at that number. You can

not hear the first two rings of all incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension phones will ring
as usual. If the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will stop and the fax machine
will answer and automatically receive the fax message. Otherwise, you will hear the extension
phones and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax machine always listens to at least two ring
patterns before it answers, so do not pick up the phone during that time. You will quickly learn
to recognize the ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that number. Either
you or a telephone answering device can answer the main number(s).

What is Caller ID?What is Caller ID?
Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone
number (or name in certain states) as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You
can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your
machine’s memory.
CALLER ID RECEIVING F AXES AND OTHER CALLS
NOTICE
To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone
company.
The type of service varies from state to state and is determined by your telephone
company. Your particular service may display only the caller’s phone number or the
caller’s number and/or name.

For Business
All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail
order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves
from false orders or acceptance of false identification.
At Home
Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone RingsThe Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings
As your telephone rings, the Display shows you the caller’s phone number (or caller’s name in
certain states). You will know who is calling before you pick up the handset or before your
machine automatically receives the call. Once you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID
disappears. If both the caller’s phone number and name are received, only the name will appear
on the Display. You will see the first 16 characters of the number or name.
Helpful Hints
• If OUT OF AREA appears on the Display, it means that the call came from
outside your caller ID service area.
• If PRIVATE CALL appears on the Display, it means the caller intentionally
blocked the transmission of his/her ID.
• If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, CALL PICKUP will remain
on the display.
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: Please set the number of rings to more than 02 to use Caller ID. If you set the number
NOTE:NOTE:
of rings to 01, you can not receive the Caller ID.

Making Single and Multiple Copies
Use this function to make a single copy or multiple copies. When making copies, make sure the
text or image on the original document is not too close to the edge. Your fax machine can not read
anything closer than 1/8 inch (4 mm) from the edge of the paper. Original documents should be
straight and not wrinkled or they may jam. Also, do not pull on the paper while copying is in
propress. This may distort the image and damage your machine.
Set the resolution to either PHOTO, FINE or S.FINE. If you select STANDARD, the resolution
will change automatically to S.FINE. However, when you make a single copy and select S.FINE,
the resolution may change automatically to FINE in case memory is used for memory transmission.
Make sure there is enough recording paper in the machine. And when making multiple copies,
do not let the receiving tray become overstacked. Remove copied paper from the receiving tray
frequently.
NOTE: I f you purchase the optional 1 or 2 MB of memory for your machine, the copy function will
include an additional step allowing you to sort multiple copies.

POLLING
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
What Is Polling?
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You may use
your machine to “poll” other machines, or you may ask someone to poll your machine.
The party who polls pays for the cost of the call.
How Does It Work?
First all parties set up their fax machines so that they can accommodate polling.
Then one party leaves documents in the fax machine so that the other party can call
and have the documents sent to them.
Polled sidePolling side
Call
Receive document
When to Use Polling
Use polling to control the cost of who pays for sending a fax.
1 . If you want to pay for the cost of the call: Send faxes to other parties as you
normally would, and if another party has documents to send you, ask if you can
poll for them.
2. If you want others to pay for the cost of the call: Ask them to poll your fax machine
for documents they want, and have them fax any documents that you want.
* There are some fax machines that will not respond to the this function.
Helpful Hints
Using Polling Effectively (Examples)
Problem No. 1: You want another party to send you a long fax, but they do not
want to pay for the call.
Solution:Ask them to leave the document in their fax machine so you can
poll for it.
Problem No. 2: Sales representatives have difficulty sending faxes to the head
office’s fax machine because it is busy much of the time.
Solution:Head office can poll the sales representatives’ fax machines.
Problem No. 3: Because of the time or location, it is cheaper for someone to call
you than it is for you to make the call.
Solution:Ask the other party to poll for the documents and offer to pay for
the call at their lower rate.
