occurs or when an operation has been done incorrectly. When some
of the error messages described below appear on the screen^ an
alarm will sound continuously for 4 seconds.

This indicates a document paper jam inside the machine or
the feeder. Open the panel cover to remove the jammed
document. When the jam has been corrected, close the
cover. If this does not correct the error, contact your Brother
service center and inform them of the situation.
This indicates a recording paper jam inside the machine.
Open the recording cover to pull the jammed paper out of
the recording paper guide, as shown in the illustration
below. When the jam has been corrected, cut the edge of the
recording paper with a pair of scissors, and reset it properly
in the guide. Then close the cover of the machine.

ER RO R M ES SA G E S
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.
PRINTER ERROR
PRESS STOP KEY
This may indicate overheating due to a problem with the
printing head. Let the unit cool down for one hour or more.
If this does not correct the error, contact your Brother
service center and inform them of the situation.
The cover has not been closed properly. Check the position
of the release levers on both sides inside the unit, and
return them to the upper position, as shown in the
illustration below. Then close the cover.
This may indicate some error related to the recording
paper at manual reception or polling operation. Hang up
the handset when manual reception. Information about
correcting the situation will then appear on the LCD.
MACHINE ERROR XX

VI- 6
This may indicate an error related to the recording paper.
Press the STOP key or remove the document, and
information about the situation will appear on the LCD.
This may indicate overheating due to overuse. Let the unit
cool down for one hour or more. If this does not correct the
error, contact your Brother service center and inform them
of the situation.
If the error message on the LCD reads "MACHINE ERROR
EA", this may indicate that the document was removed
from the feeder while transmission was still taking place.
<COMMUNICATION ERRORS>
ER RO R M ES S AG E S
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.
AO 01 — This indicates poor telephone line conditions.
If any error code other than those listed here appears on the
LCD, contact your Brother service center and inform them of
the situation.

VU. Cleaning
To ensure a long and useful life for your machine, regular cleaning
is essential. For best results clean the scanning and printing areas of
your machine every time you use up a roll of recording paper. The
following points should be borne in mind.
1) To avoid the risk of an electric shock, unplug the machine
2) Do not use water or organic solvents of any kind (thinners, for

CLE A N IN G TH E P RI NT IN G A RE A
CLEANING THE PRINTING AREA
First, unplug the machine. Open the unit, and remove the roll of
recording paper from inside the machine.
When cleaning the printing head, use the cleaning slip provided
with the machine. Wet one end of the paper slip with isopropyl
alcohol, and insert it under the guide until it will enter no further.
Then continue across the unit as shown in the illustration, inserting
the paper so the entire head is cleaned with the alcohol. (Either side
and both ends of the paper slip can be used for cleaning the printing
area.)
VII -2
CLEANING THE SCANNER
Lift up on the front cover of the unit to open the machine.
Carefully remove any dirt from the clear glass cover of the scanner
using a soft cloth soaked in alcohol. Do not use organic solvents
such as thinners, or petrol.

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 Polling Sends 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.
