This indicates that the cutter is not at the home position
because a recording paper jam is obstructing the movement
of the cutter inside the machine. First, unplug the machine.
Then open the cover to remove the jammed paper. (Use
caution when handling the paper, as the cutter is quite
sharp.) After the paper jam has been corrected, reset the
paper roll in position, and close the cover. Finally, plug in
the machine again. The cutter will return to the home
position automatically.

NO RESPONSE OR BUSY
NO CONNECTABILITY
ID MISMATCH
LINE DISCONNECTED
When you are making a transmission this message indicates
that either the other party is busy or that no response has
been received. If you have turned the Auto Redial function
ON (see page IV-1-10), the machine will automatically try
the number again after a few minutes. If you have selected
to turn the Auto Redial function OFF, this transm^sion
will be unsuccessful and transmission verification report
(busy) will be printed out.
When you are the receiving party, this message will indicate
that certain functions—password cannot be enabled
because the sending party's machine is not a Brother
machine.
This may indicate that the incorrect ID number (for
password, password plus, and secure polling) was used
when the sender made his transmission. Contact the sender
to verify that your ID codes match up correctly. A
transmission verification report (error) will be printed out.
This message may indicate that either the sending or the
receiving party has interrupted the fax transmission (or
reception) operation. If you are the sender, this may also
indicate a missed telephone line connection due to an ID
mismatch or the receiving party being unprepared for
polling, and so on. In such circumstances, check with the
receiving party to learn what is happening at the other end
of the line.
COMM ERROR XX YY
This message indicates that some communication error has
taken place. "XX YY" represents the error codes used to
provide more detailed information about the error. Refer
to the list shown below.
Error Codes
40 06 — This indicates that a unit which has not been set up
for polling has been polled by another unit.
40 13 — This indicates that the machine has been set up for
secure polling, but the polling request has come
from a unit which is not a Brother machine.

VI. Troubleshooting
This section provides possible solutions to the problems you may encounter in the use of this
machine.
-If There Are Image Quality Prohlems-
If you are having trouble with the image quality of faxes you send or receive^ make a test copy of
the document. If the copy is of good quality, the problem is not with your fax machine, but in the
phone lines or in the fax machine on the other end of the line.
If the image of the copy you make is poor, clean the interior of the unit. (See page VII-2 for a
description of how to do this.)
If you are not able to solve a problem with your fax machine, contact Brother service personnel at
1-800-284-4FAX. (U.S.A. Only).

8. POLLING
What is Foiling?
Polling is a feature which lets fax machines call other machines to
request a fax transmission. The unit can receive a request for
transmission of a document (making you the called side) or it can
request a document from another unit (which makes you the
calling side). It can be operated using either standard or security
polling functions.
Polling is among the most advanced features on the machine.
While the concept may be new to some users^ the operation is
always basically the same: one fax machine calls another to request
a document. The table below shows the various polling operations
which can be carried out by the machine.
• Standard PollingSends a request to have a document sent
from another fax unit.
• Secure Polling
Makes use of a coded security feature when
requesting a document.
• Timer (delayed)
Polling
Sends a request at a specified time for the
transmission of a fax from another machine.
Turnaround Polling Used for "two-way" polling, this lets you
send a document, then request a document
from another fax unit.
Remember that the calling side bears the expense of a fax
transmission when polling is done.

7. THE PASSWORD
V-7 . T H E P A SS W OR D
The fax password function is provided for use in a closed network
of fax machines. It can also be used to help you prevent reception
of the "junk faxes" that can interfere with your daily operations. It
can also prevent the transmission of faxes to the wrong parties.
Passwords should not be used casually. If you have activated the
password function^ only people who have Brother (or compatible)
fax machines and have set the correct password code on their own
machine can exchange faxes with your unit.
To remedy this you can enable the PASSWORD PLUS feature^
whereby the unit accepts transmissions without passwords from
anybody whose number is listed as a one-touch number. (The unit
detects the last four digits of the numbers whether it is same or not.)
People whose numbers have not been registered as a one-touch dial
in your machine must still use the password.
To send a fax with a password, carry out the procedure described
below. Before this procedure, please re-check the other party's
password code.

it allows you to enhance the presentation quality of text documents
that are sent to you without having to rely on the sender to alter the
resolution setting on his machine.
There are two possible smoothing settings - ON or OPT, Select OFF
to prevent the fax machine from performing any smoothing, and
select ON to activate smoothing.
The procedure for turning smoothing ON or OFF is shown below.
1) Press the FUNCTION key. Press the 5 key on the number keys.

4. USING THE SUPER COVERPAGE FACILITY
When you send a fax it is often useful to send an accompanying
cover sheet at the same time. This sheet is known as the super
COVERPAGE and tells the person receiving the fax your name, fax
number and telephone number. These are the name and numbers
that you have registered in the machine as part of the configuration
process. If you have not registered your name, fax number and
telephone number (Station ID), you cannot send the super
COVERPAGE.
You can also choose to show on the super COVERPAGE the
number of pages you are faxing.
You can include an optional comment on the super COVERPAGE.
You can select one of five comments, three that are preset and two
original messages which you can create yourself.

Connect your external telephone answering device (TAD) to the
EXT.DEVICE jack as shown in the illustration below.
Set the Auto Ans. switch to ''Manual" (so that only the "Manual"
LED is lit).
The external TAD is now ready for use.
The unit will enter the document reception mode automatically
when another party tries to send a fax transmission with a CNG
tone to your machine. CNG is generated by most Group 3 FAX
machines.
If the sending party (using a tone type unit) presses your F/T &
REMOTE ID code, fax reception is switched to the main unit.
• If the ICM secLioit of yocu’ external TAD is full, the TAD will not
answer the telephone. As a result the unit cannot receive the
transmission.
• If your external TAD has a paging function, the unit may prevent
the paging function from working.
• Some fax machines may not be able to signal your fax machine
to switch on automatically during a transmitting. To cover this
possibility we recommend that you record a message on your
TAD requesting the sending party to enter the F/T & Remote ID
code key on his unit before transmission.
A sample message; "Our answering machine is connected to a
fax unit at present, so if you would like to send a fax, please press
the XX (your F/T & REMOTE ID) by tone signal and send your
fax after you hear the FAX tone. If you would like to leave a
message, please do so after this message. Thank you."

V. Advanced uses
1. RESOLUTION
There are four different resolution settings available - STANDARD^
FINE^ SUPER EINE and PHOTO. The STANDARD resolution is
adequate for sending ordinary text documents. FINE resolution is
intended for the transmission of graphic images. SUPER FINE is for
use with finely-detailed graphic images such as complex line
drawings and similar artwork. PHOTO resolution mode is
specifically designed for the transmission of photographic images.
Whichever mode you use, the quality of the printed document's
text will not be adversely affected.
You can select a resolution setting in two ways. Firstly, you can
press the RESOLUTION key on the key panel prior to sending your
document and light the LED corresponding to the resolution mode
you want to select. Your document is then transmitted using the
same resolution mode you have selected. Secondly, you can use the
CURRENT SETTING fonction to select a resolution setting tor each
page of a document individually. Both setting methods will be
effective for one transmission only. If the receiving fax machine
cannot print at the resolution that you specified, transmission will
take place at a lesser resolution. (The resolution LEDs change to
show you which resolution is being used to print the current
document or page that you are sending is being printed.)

6. CHAIN DIALING
1V~6. CHAIN DIALING
In addition to the one-touch and speed dialing functions available
on the unit, a further convenient option called ''chain dialing" can
be used with either of the quick dialing functions.
When you send an automatic-transmission, the machine allows
you to use single one-touch dial or speed dial number. However, if
you register a one-touch or speed dial as a "chain dialing" number,
the machine allows you to use two different one-touch or speed dial
numbers (a chain dial number followed by a one-touch, speed dial
number or manual dialing (within 20 numbers)).
When dialing overseas fax or telephone numbers, there may be
situations in which a company can offer you better rates than the
telephone company you normally
use.
Chain dialing
lets
you
choose the telephone company whose line charge is lower if you
register the access code to a second telephone company as a chain
dial number. This is also important when using a telephone credit
card.
Instructions on how to use this option are provided below.
Setting chain dialing
CHAIN
PASSWORD
When you register a one-touch or speed dial number, simply press
the CHAIN key before entering the number.
(@mark appears on the screen. @means “chain dialing.”)
After that, the procedure is the same as for one-touch or speed dial
numbers.
- You can register numbers with up to 19 digits.
- You cannot send a transmission using chain dialing only. A one-
touch, speed dialing number, or manual dialing (within 20
numbers) number must also be used.

Automatic redialing can only be used for faxes that were sent using
automatic transmission - not for telephone calls. You can turn
automatic redialing on or off (see page IV-1-10).
When using automatic transmission to send a fax, if the destination
number is engaged, the machine will automatically redial the
number up to three (3) times at five (5) minutes intervals.
- Before using automatic redialing, you can send a different fax
message or make a copy of a document using the 'Interrupt"
feature.
(See page V-10-1.)
- To cancel automatic redialing, press FUNCTION key, then press
the 9 key to enable the "Cancelling a Transmission" function.
(See page V-11-1.)
If you are manually sending a fax or using the unit as a telephone
and you obtain a busy signal, carry out the following procedure.
1) Replace the handset or press the HOOK key.
2) Pick up the handset or press the HOOK key.

3. RECEIVING A FAX
Fax reception can be either manual or automatic. You will probably
want to receive faxes automatically, as this is the more
straightforward method. However, if you are using a single
telephone line for both telephone and fax reception you will have
several options. You can either use the unit in manual reception and
monitor all in-coming calls, or you can use the FAX/TEL switch
and let the machine decide if the call is a fax message or not.

Remote Activation an extension telephone.
Remote activation
You can activate the fax machine from a remote telephone. This is
useful if you are using the machine on an extension of a key
telephone system.
Remote activation allows you to receive a call on a telephone which
is either connected from the fax unit, or is parallel connected to your
telephone line (extension telephoned), but is not located near the
fax unit. If an in-coming call is a fax transmission, simply press F/
T & REMOTE ID of the external/extention telephone (tone-type) to
enable reception of the fax.
If you accidently pick up your extension or external telephone hy
mistake when you are transmitting or receiving a FAX, there
might be some slight distortion on the document.
If you are using an extension or external telephone, be sure to use

The following flow chart illustrates the situations which may arise
in the operation of the FAX/TEL switch on the unit.
FAX/TEL SWITCHING
LINE CONNECTION
RING DELAY : This refers to the number of rings before the phone line is connected in response
to a telephone call or fax transmission. You have the option of setting this to either
1 or 4 rings.
F/T RINGING : After the line is connected, the machine begins to ring a second time, for a
selectable period of 10,20 or 30 seconds. This additional ringing period provides
you with extra time to pick up the telephone for a phone conversation or to
receive the manual transmission of a fax. During this period, the other party can
The machine must always be connected to the power outlet
before you connect it to a telephone line.
Similarly^ when moving the unit^ the telephone line connection
should be removed before unplugging the power cord. This is
because the machine relies on the ground from the plug to
protect you from any hazardous electrical conditions occuring
on the telephone network.
This machine can be plugged into any standard grounded power
niT tle t. Make sure the socket is grounded and that it is not on the
same line as any large appliances or office machines such as
refrigerators or photocopiers. The power requirements for this fax
machine can be found in the
There is no ON/OFF switch. When the machine is plugged in, the

III-7. CONNECTING TO A TELEPHONE LINE
7. CONNECTING TO A TELEPHONE LINE
If you plan to use a single telephone line connection follow the
instructions below. This is straightforward if your telephone receiver
is connected using modular telephone jacks.
1) Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the back of the fax
machine. Use the TEL LINE socket located farthest to the left.
2) Plug the other end of the cord into the telephone wall jack
socket. Make sure this end clicks into place.
Jacks
Multi Line connections
(PBXs)
If you have the older 4-prong telephone wall jack, you must use a
modular 4-prong adapter (USOC RJAIX). Plug the adapter into the
wall jack and then plug the telephone cord into the adapter, as
shown in the illustration below.
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 that you contact the company
which installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the
fax machine for you.
III-7-1
It is advisable to have a separate line for the fax machine. You can
then leave the machine in AUTO 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.
Page 83
I1I-7. CONNECTING TO A TELEPHONE LINE
- If you have call waiting, ringmaster, or any other custom calling
feature on your telephone line it may create a problem in the
operation of your fax unit
- 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 he made.
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 approved PBXs. Any cases of difficulty
should be reported first to your Brother dealer.
2) If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator,
it is recommended that the AUTO ANSWER function be set to
be manual, (see page IV-1-7) All in-coming calls should initially
be regarded as telephone calls.
3) The unit may be used with either the pulse or tone dialing
telephone types.
