1. SELECTING A LOCATION FOR YOUR FAX MACHINE

The following points should be kept in mind when selecting a place to set up your fax machine.

• Place the fax machine on a flat, stable surface such as a desk or stand.

• Select a place where the machine will not be subjected to bumping or exces
sive vibration.

• Do not stt it up in a high-traffie area.

• Locate the unit near a telephone wall jack and a standard grounded outlet.

• Avoid setting up the machine near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals

or refrigerators.

• Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

• Do not connect the unit to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or au
tomatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unifls
page memory. (FAX-800M only)

• Do not connect the unit to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appli
ances and other equipment that might disturb the power supply.

• Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless tele
phones.

• Be sure to disconnect the handset when moving the unit.

If you have inserted the plug into the power supply before

you have loaded the machine with paper, an alarm will
sound and a PAPER jROLL EMPTY message will appear
on the screen.

Use 1" core regular thermal Roll paper or Brother
"THERMA PLUS".
(You may experience some difficulty if you try to use paper

with a core that is less than 1".)

6. CONNECTING YOUR FAX TO THE POWER OUTLET

Important

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
should be disconnected before unplugging the power
cord. This is because the machine relies on the ground
from the plug to prevent any hazardous electrical condi

tions from developing on the telephone network.

This machine can be plugged into any standard grounded
power outlet. Make sure the socket is grounded and that the

machine 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

Specifications section on page 8-1.

3-6

There is no ON/OFF switch. When the machine is plugged
in, the date/time display appears on the LCD. You can set the
correct time and date on this display by following the
instructions on page 4-1 in the section Configuring the

machine.

- When the machine is plugged in, the recording paper will
he fed through automatically and cut.

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 tele
phone 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 which is located far
thest to the left.

SETTING UP

2) Plug the other end of the cord into the telephone wall jack

socket. Make sure this end dicks into place.

Jacks

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.

Multi Line Connections (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 that you contact
the company that installed your telephone system and ask
them to connect the fax machine for you.

It is a advisable to have a sepaxale 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

3-7

3. >■ SETTING UP

system. This will prevent the unit from being activated each
time a telephone call is received.

- If you have call waiting, ring master, 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 he 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

iiislalling the machine Lo work with a private branch

exchange (PBX).

1) It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly un
der all circumstances with approved PBXs. Any cases of
difficulty should be reported first to your Telephone con

necting company that installed your Telephone System.

2) If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard op-

erator, it is recommended that the AUTO ANSWER func

tion be set to be manual (see page 4-7). All incoming calls
should initially be regarded as telephone calls.

3) The unit may be used with telephones that make use of ei
ther pulse or tone dialing.

8. MAKING A TRIAL COPY

Now that your fax machine is ready for use, it is a good idea
to test it by making a copy.

You can copy any document up to 8.5 inches/216 mm wide

(A4 size). Follow the instructions below.

1) Set the document face down into the feeder. Adjust the
guides located on either side of the document if it is less
than 8,5 inches wide.

2) The following display will appear on the LCD.

FAX/TEL switch

Designed to improve communications when the machine is
used on a single telephone line, this unit is equipped with a

switching feature that can detect the difference between tele
phone calls and fax transmissions. F/T switching may
appear complex, but it actually works on a simple principle.
If a fax is sent to your machine, a CNG tone is generated. This
CNG tone is a signal which informs your machine that the
incoming call is a fax. If your machine detects a CNG tone, it
will enter reception mode automatically. If this signal is not

detected, the unit will ring for a length of time you have spec

ified (this is called the F/T Ring Time). If you answer the call,

operation wih be controlled by you manually after you pick
up the handset. If you do not answer the call before the F/T
Ring lime has ended, your machine will enter fax reception
mode automatically.

You can activate F/T switching by pressing the AUTO ANS
key until the F/T LED is lighted.

If the other party is sending a manual transmission or mak
ing a call, the unit will ring for a specified period (10, 20, 30,
or 60 seconds, which you can select as the F/T ring time). If

you pick up the handset within the F/T ring time, you can
talk with the other party. When the other party wants to send
a manual transmission, press the START key and you will
receive the document. If you cannot pick up the handset
within the F/T ring time, the unit will enter FAX reception

mode automatically. This makes it possible for you to receive
a manual transmission even if you are away from the

machine.
Also, if you have given your Remote Activation Code to the

other party, they can always send a manual transmission and
put your machine into FAX reception mode by entering the
Remote Activation Code. (The other party must be using a
tone dial unit to enable this operation. More information is
available in the section Registering Remote Activation/Deac-

tivation code elsewhere in this chapter

The following flow chart illustrates the situations which may

arise in the operation of the FAX/TET, switch on the unit.
Note that you must pick up the fax unit handset to have a
conversation when the line connection is made. Your fax unit
does not come with a speaker-type telephone.

4-8

If you pick up the telephone call remotely, before F/T ring
ing, you can activate your fax by using the remote activa
tion code.

Simply press the appropriate code numbers using the key
pad on your telephone.
Also, if yOu wish to pick up the telephone call remotely
after F/T ringing has started, simply input remote deacti

vation code.

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 set
ting this to 0,1,2, 3 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, 30 or 60 seconds. This additional ringing period
provides you with extra time to pick up the telephone for a phone conversa

tion or to receive the manual transmission of a fax. During this period, the

other party can hear "pseudo-ring" back tone.

- The cost of the transmission (borne by the sending party)

will be calculated from the point in time at which the beep

signals that the line connection has been made.

- Following the beep signal, there will be 4 seconds of
silence to enable the machine to detect the CNG tone that
indicates an in-coming fax transmission.

Setting the F/T ring time

You can select the length of time for F/T ringing by following
the procedure described below.

ferent room or if it is being used on a multi-line telephone
service.

Remote activation allows you to receive a call on a telephone
that is either connected from the fax unit, or is connected in
parallel to your telephone line (extension telephone), but
need not be located near the fax unit. If an in-coming call
is a fax transmission, or after talking to the distant end they
wish to send a fax, simply enter the Remote Activation Code

(tone type) using your telephone keypad and start fax tones

being sent out by your unit.

- If you wish to pick up telephone remotely during the time

that the fax machine is F/T ringing, simply insert remote

deactivation code (tone type) which will turn off fax
machine.

- If you accidently pick up your extension or external tele

phone by mistake when you are transmitting or receiving
a FAX, there may he some slight distortion of the docu

ment.

- If you are using an extension or external telephone, he sure

to use " * " and!or "#" for the Remote Activation/Deacti-

vation Code. (This will help you avoid operation errors.)

- Due to limitations of telephone systems and telephone

sets, remote deactivation can not be guaranteed to work
under all circumstances.

3) On successful completion of transmission, the machine

will beep. If the transmission verification function is ON,
then you will get a report at the end of each transmission

(See page 4-18.).

- // the telephone connection was unsuccessful, and the

auto redial function was set to ON, the machine will try
to send again automatically. If auto redial was set to

OFF, the transmission must he attempted again. (See page

4-15.)

- If your transmission was not successful, the unit will

print out a Transmission Verification Report (error) auto
matically. (See page 4-19) If the other party is busy or if

there is no response, the message NO RESPONSE OR
BUSY will appear on the LCD, and the unit will print out
a Transmission verification Report (busy) automatically.

- Whenever an automatic transmission is sent, an impor

tant "CNG" signal is also transmitted. This signal is

essential to FAX/TEL switching and TAD operations.

4-23

BASIC USES

Manual transmission

To transmit a document manually^ set the document face
down in the document feeder. The following screen appears:

Either press the HOOK key or pick up the handset. Now dial

the number of the destination using one-touch, speed, Tele
phone Index, or manual dialing. When you hear the answer

Points to Remember When Sending a Fax

Bear in mind the following points whenever you send a fax.

• Adjust the guides located on either side of the document if

it is less than 8.5 inches/216 mm wide. (Min. width 5.8
inches/148 mm).

• Do not send documents on any of the following types of

paper:

- Thick paper

- Very thin paper, such as tissue or tracing paper

- Wet, wrinkled, torn, curled, or slick paper

- Thick photographic or coated paper

- Paper with tape or staples, or with metal or textiles at
tached

4-24

If you must send a document on any of these types of paper,
copy them first with a photocopy machine and then use the

copies to send your faxes. (Do not make your copies on this
convenience copier, as the paper restrictions for the fax func
tion apply to the copier as well.)

• The range of optimum thicknesses for sheets used in the

ADF is 2.8 X 10-3- 3.9 x inches (0.07- 0.10 mm) and the
range for weight is 0.07 x lO'^ - 0.114 x lO'^ Ibs/inch^ (52 ­80g/m^). If you are using only one sheet of paper, the thick
ness of the paper should be between 2.8 x lO'^ - 3.9 x lO'^
inches (0.07 - 0.12 mm) and the weight, between 0.114 x
10-3 - 0.182 X 10-3 ibs/inch2 (80 - mg/rn^).

• If the receiving fax machine is not set to AUTO ANSWER,

someone may answer the telephone. If this happens, ask

the other party to start fax reception by pressing their

START key. (Remember you must use the handset to speak

to the other party, as your machine does not have speaker
phone.) Press the START key and then hang up after you
hear the fax tone,

• If a document stops during feeding, press the STOP key to
remove it. If the jammed paper is not ejected after pressing
the STOP key, open the cover and remove the document.

• Remember that the fax machine cannot read text or images
closer than 4 mm (15.74 x 10"^ inches) from any edge of a
document when copying or sending a fax.

• Do not load more than 20 documents into the feeder at one
time.

• Be sure to remove all paper clips before sending your doc
ument.

• Send glossy paper one page at a time, since they have a ten
dency to slip.

• Do not attempt to transmit paper of differing sizes or thick
ness in one transmission.

The maximum document width to be input is 8.5" (216mm).
The maximum width of the printed (or scanned) area is 8.2"

(208mm). The maximum document length is 35.4" (900mm),

the minimum is 3.9" (100mm).

Current settings

In order to make the clearest, most effective fax transmissions
possible, the following current settings have been provided

for your use. They are described in greater detail in the unit

Redialing

If the number that you have dialed is engaged you can redial
it without having to re-enter the number. There are two ways
of doing this, depending on whether you are using manual
or automatic transmission.

Automatic redialing

Automatic redialing can only be used for faxes that were sent
using automatic transmissions - not for telephone calls. You

can turn automatic redialing ON or OFF (see page 4-15).

When using automatic transmission to send a fax, if the desti
nation number is engaged, the machine will automatically
redial the number up to 3 times at 5 minute intervals.

- Before using automatic redialing, you can send a different

fax message or make a copy of a document using the

"/«terrupt" feature. (See page 5-43.)

BAS¡C USES

- To cancel automatic redialing, press the STOP key. (See
page 4-15.)

Manual redialing

If you obtain a busy signal when sending a fax manually or

using the unit as a telephone, carry out the following proce

dure.

1) Replace the handset or press the HOOK key.

2) Pick up the handset or press the HOOK key.

3) When you hear the dial tone, press the REDIAL key. The
machine will redial the number dialed most recently.

4} If you are sending a fax, press the START key when you

hear the answering fax tone. If you are making a telephone

call, simply proceed when the called party answers.

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. Ilowevex;, if you are using a

single telephone line for both telephone and fax reception
there are several options available. 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. In addition, a TAD mode
can be selected if you have set up your unit for use with an
external TAD.

Automatic reception

To receive faxes automatically, set the AUTO ANS function to

ON (the AUTO ANS. LED is lighted — see page 4-7). No fur
ther effort need be made. The machine will answer all calls

automatically at any time. Flaving successfully received a
fax, the machine will beep once.

4. :j;;; BASIC USES

Manual reception

To receive faxes manually, set the AUTO ANS function to
OFF (none of the LEDs are lighted — see page 4-7). The pro
cedure for receiving a fax is as follows:

1) When the telephone rings either pick up the handset or

press the HOOK key.

2) If you hear a fax tone, press the START key.

3) Replace the handset if necessary.
Having successfully received a fax, the machine will beep

once.

4-29

4. ■ BASIC USES

I

Reception with FAX/TEL switching

There are two types of reception with FAX/TEL switching as

described on page 4-8 at the start of this chapter.

1) Automatic transmission from the other party.

2) Manual transmission from the other party.

- If you pick up the handset while the machine is ringing.

Follow the same procedure as for manual reception. If you

do not pick up the handset, the machine will change to
automatic reception mode after the specified ringing time.
(Refer to the section on the FAX/TEL switch elsewhere in

this chapter.)

Reception by Enhanced Remote Activation

Faxes can be received through the use of an external tele
phone or an extension telephone. Simply insert remote acti
vation code (tone type) to turn on the fax unit.

If you wish to pick up telephone remotely during the time
that the fax machine is F/T ringings simply insert remote
deactivation code (tone type) which will turn off fax
machine.

Reception into memory (only for FAX>800M)

If the unit has run out of paper it will automatically store any

fax transmissions it receives in its memory. Also, if it runs out
of paper while receiving a transmission, it will store the part
of the document that it is unable to print. The following mes
sage appears on the LCD display:

Load the machine with paper and the unit will print any

4. USING ONE-TOUCH NUMBERS

If you regularly send faxes to the same destinations, it is use

ful to be able to dial these numbers without having to enter
them every time using the number keys. A one-touch key
enables you to send a fax (or make a telephone call) to a par
ticular destination without having to dial the number every
time. You simply press the relevant one-touch key and the
machine will automatically dial the number you require. The
FAX-800M can store up to forty (40) fax or telephone num

bers as one-touch numbers. The FAX-700 can store up to

twenty (20) fax or telephone numbers as one-touch numbers.

There are twenty one-touch keys, numbered 01 to 20. The

shift key on the FAX-800M enables you to store two different
destinations numbers under each one-touch key. (For exam

ple, to dial the number stored as one-touch numbered 13,

press the one-touch 13 key in the FAX-800M. To dial the num
ber stored as one-touch number 39, hold down the shift key

and press the one-touch 19 key on the FAX 800M.)

Chain dialing

In addition to the one-touch and speed dialing functions
available on the unit a convenient option called "chain dial
ing" can be used with either the one-touch, speed dial num
ber or manual dialing number.
Normal operations allow you to use a single one-touch or
speed-dial number for an automatic transmission. However,

if you register your number as a "chain dialing" - number,
you can use six different numbers (five chain dial numbers

followed by a one-touch, speed dial number or manual dial
ing number).

When dialing an overseas fax or telephone number, there
may be situations in which you can take advantage of rates

that are better than those normally available from your regu

lar telephone company. Chain dialing lets you choose the

telephone company with the lower line charge. You simply
register the access code for the second telephone company as
a chain dial number. This is also important when using a tele
phone credit card or if using behind a PBX with an access
code.
You must designate a SPD.DIAL or ONE-TOUCH number as
a chain dial number at the time you register it. To designate a
number as a chain dial number, use the cursor keys to select
the CHAIN option.

4. m BASIC USES

- You must use the chain number first, then use the second

number.

- Numbers for chain dialing are registered the same as any

other one touch or speed dial number except that you reg

ister the type as a chain (See page 4-32 or 4-38).

Sending using chain dialing

To send a fax using chain dialing, proceed as follows:

1) Load the document into the feeder.

2) Press the chain dial number first (you can do up to 5 chain

per dialing sequence).

3) Press other registered telephone number or use keypad for
non-registered number.

4) Press START.

- YoM can place a pause either at the end of a chain number

or the beginning of the next chain number to allow time

for delayed dial tunes.

4-39

4. BASIC USES

- Depending on the type of telephone credit card you are
using it may he necessary to register the telephone num
bers as chain dial numbers and the access code as a regu
lar number.

- If you are doing manual dialing any pause keys must be
placed into the registered chain dial number.

Sending speed-dial faxes

To send a fax to a destination that has been registered as a
speed-dial number, simply follow the steps for sending a fax
{either automatically or manually). Instead of using the keys

to dial the number, just press the SPD. DIAL key and then the

two-digit number combination for that destination. The

stored fax number will be dialed automatically. Press START
to begin your fax transmission.

1. RESOLUTION

Four different resolution settings are available - STANDARD,
FINE, SUPER FINE and PHOTO. Standard resolution is ade
quate 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
tion mode is designed specifically for the transmission of
photographic images. Whichever mode you use, the quality
of the

printed document's text will not be adversely affected.

There are two ways to select a resolution setting. In the first
method, prior to sending your document, press the RESO

LUTION key to light the LED corresponding to the resolution

mode you want to select. Your document will then be trans
mitted using the resolution mode you have selected. Alterna

tively, you can use the CURRENT SETTING key to select a

resolution setting for each page of a document individually.
Both methods are 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 of in-coming documents

The resolution used when receiving fax transmissions will

depend entirely on the capabilities of the fax machine from
which the document was transmitted and the settings
selected when the document is sent. Your fax machine can
receive and print documents in three modes: STANDARD,

FINE and SUPERFINE. The mode being used to print the

document (or the current page) is indicated by the LEDs.

The photo LED is not lit when docunaents are transmitted

from a remote station in PHOTO mode.

Copier resolution

You can use the convenience copier in SUPERFINE or
PHOTO modes. However, you can only use a single mode for
each copy operation. Pages of a document that are to be cop
ied at a resolution that differs from the other pages must be
loaded and copied separately.

being used.

Once the copy operation has been completed, the unit will

revert to standard resolution mode. None of the resolution
LEDs will be lit.

- To make multiple copies using a resolution other than

standard, select a resolution setting using the CURRENT

SETTING key or RESOLUTION key.

4. USING THE SUPER COVERPAGE FACILITY

When you send a fax it is often useful to send an accompany
ing cover sheet at the same time. The super COVERPAGE
function on your machine tells the person receiving the fax
your name, fax number and telephone number. These are the
name and numbers that you will have registered in the
machine as the station ID. If you have not registered your sta
tion ID, no super COVERPAGE can be sent.

You can also choose to have the super COVERPAGE indicate
the number of pages you are faxing.

You can include an optional comment for inclusion on the
super COVERPAGE. You can select one of five comments,
three that are preset and two original messages that you can
create yourself.

7. THE PASSWORD

The fax password function is provided for use in a closed net
work of fax machines. It can also be used to prevent reception
of the "junk faxes" that can interfere with your daily opera
tions. It can also help you avoid 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 set the correct
password code on their Brother (or compatible) fax machine
can exchange faxes with your unit.

5-16

To help avoid difficulties, you can enable the PASSWORD
PLUS feature. To enable this feature, select PLUS when you
register your fax receive password (see page 5-18). The unit
will accept transmissions without passwords from any num

ber that has been listed as a one-touch number. (The unit

detects the last four digits of the number, whether it matches
the password code or not.) People whose numbers have not
been registered as a one-touch number in your machine must

still use the password.

Sending a fax with password

To send a fax with a password, carry out the procedure
described below. Before carrying out this procedure, please
double check the other party's password code.

5. m ADVANCED USES

1) Set the document face down in the feeder.

2) Press the CURRENT SETTING key, and then press 4 key.

3) Press SET, and enter the 4-digit password code. This must
be the same code as the other side's receiving password.

4) When you have entered the 4-digit code, press the SET
key.

5) Enter the fax number using the number keys, a one-touch
key, speed dial number, or the Telephone Index. Now
press START.

- If the receiving party has turned their password function

8. POLLING

What is Polling?

Polling is a feature that 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). I'he LAX-700 can be used to poll only
one unit. The FAX-800M provides the option of polling one
unit or several different units. 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 list below shows the various polling
operations which can be carried out by the machine.

2 .S ET RE CE I VE P A SS W OR D
3 .S ET RE L AY P AS S WO R D

• 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 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.

Sequential Polling
(only for FAX­800M)

Used to request documents from sev
eral different fax units in a single
operation.

Remember that the calling side bears the expense of a fax
transmission when polling is done.
