W ARNING! Miscellaneous appro val conditions
National and European laws state that only approved apparatus may be connected to lines provided by Public T elecommunications Operators (PTOs). In the case of analogue Group 3 fax machines such as your Brother fax, this usually implies compliance with national technical requirements, and an approval certificate issued by the national authorities in the country of original sale/import by Brother.
Any marking or certification of your fax machine to harmonised European “CE Mark” requirements for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), and for user safety according to the European LVD (Low Voltage Directive), ARE NOT indicative of approval for connection to public telecommunications lines in a country other than that in which the equipment is approved.
Brother advises that this product will not function correctly in a country other than that in which it was originally offered for sale, and does not offer any warranty in the event that this product is used on public telecommunication lines in a country other than that in which it is approved.
Brother further advises that any use of this equipment in such other countries contravenes national and European laws and in so using, the user renders himself or herself liable to prosecution and possible forfeiture of equipment according to local regulations.
CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1
Using This Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Brother fax machine (FAX) or multifunction center (MFC).
1
This machine has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your machine to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual.
Additionally, your machine has a Help Key. Press Help/Memory to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.
Finding Information
All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be able to find information about a specific feature or function by checking the Index at the back of this manual. Also, throughout this manual, you’ll see special symbols alerting you to important information, cross-references, and warnings. Illustrations of some screen displays also help you choose the correct key-presses.

About Fax Machines
If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. You’ll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.
Fax Tones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)—soft, beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You’ll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVE. If your fax machine is set to the FAX ONLY Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax machine continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVE. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop.
INTRODUCTION
When your fax machine is in FAX/TEL (F/T) mode, it answers with a short beep. After this beep, the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and, if heard, it will respond with receiving tones.
The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 40 seconds after the number is dialled. Therefore, it’s important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.
When you have an external telephone answering device (T AD) on your fax line, your TAD will determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD to your fax machine.
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
3
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax 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.

CHAPTER TWO
Choosing a Location
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet.
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply . Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.
Caution

CHAPTER TWO
Connect the Po wer Cord
When you connect the power, the screen displays 01/01 00:00 FAX.
NOTICE:
1) This fax must be earthed using a 3-pin plug.
2) Since the machine is earthed through the power outlet, you can
protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to your machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.
3) Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We
recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on the telephone line, or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.
IMPORTANT: If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to
fit an appropriate type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting a shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code.
As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.
Green-and-yellow : Earth Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
or coloured
Connect the T elephone Line
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labelled LINE on the left side of the machine. Connect the other end to a wall jack.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: The PC interface is a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) port
as defined in EN41003. It must only be connected with a SELV circuit; only the MFL Pro for Fax cable kit (available in an option pack), satisfies this requirement.
Multi-Line Connections (P ABXs)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PABX (Private Automatic Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the machine. You can then leave the machine in F AX ONLY Mode to receive faxes any time of day or night.
If the 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 prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is received.
17
If you are installing the machine to work with a PABX:
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
1
circumstances with a PABX. Any cases of difficulty should be reported first to the company that handles your PABX.
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is
2
recommended that the Answer Mode be set to MANUAL. All incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialling telephone
3
service.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
This equipment has a REN value of 1. A BT line has a “bell ringing” capacity, or REN, of 4. This means that adding downstream-connected extension telephones and/or extension bells to a total REN of greater than 4 may cause a reduction in the bell volume. In extreme cases, it may cause the auto-answer facility of the machine to fail.
Therefore, up to three additional extension telephones (each assuming a REN of 1), may be connected downstream of your machine. For an explanation of “downstream connection, read “Using extension telephones” which follows.
Unless otherwise marked, a telephone provided by BT may be assumed to have a REN value of 1.
18
CHAPTER TWO
Using Extension T elephones
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order to make an outgoing call. Additionally , remote activation may not operate reliably in such a simple configuration.
This machine may also be set to make a delayed transmission (i.e. a transmission at a pre-set time). This pre-set job may coincide with someone picking up an extension handset.
Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange modification of your extension wiring circuit, such that extension devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a master/slave configuration. In such a configuration, this machine can always detect whether a telephone is in use, thus it will not attempt to seize the line during that time. This is known as “telephone off-hook detection.”
The inadvisable configuration is shown in figure 1 below , and the recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be arranged by your contacting BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX maintainer or a qualified telephone installation company as appropriate. Simply explained, the extension telephone circuit should be terminated on a normal modular plug (BT 431A style), which in turn should be inserted into the modular socket of the white “T”-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.

Connecting an External T elephone Answering Device (TAD)
Connections
You may connect an external TAD to your machine, as shown below .
1
TAD TAD
19
Set the number of rings to one or two on your external TAD. (The fax
2
machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.) Record the outgoing message on your external TAD (see below).
3
Set the external TAD to answer calls.
4
Set MESSAGE STORE (Function menu 8-1) to V OICE:EXT.
5
(Only for FAX-930 and FAX-940 E-mail) Set the Answer Mode to TAD:ANSWER MACH. (Only for FAX-
6
920 and MFC-925) On the FAX-930 and FAX-940 E-mail, set the Answer Mode to
TAD:MSG MGR.
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line––your machine and TAD will both try to control the line.
Outgoing Message (OGM) of External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message.
Record four seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
1
(This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)
Try to record the shortest possible message on your telephone
2
answering device (ideally less than 10 seconds).
20
CHAPTER TWO
End your message by giving your Remote Activation Code for
3
people sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing
51.”
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received automatically because some fax machines do not send a fax tone in manual mode. In these cases you must inform callers that they must enter the remote activation code to send a fax.
Sequence of External TAD Reception
When you leave your machine set in TAD mode, all calls will be answered by the externally connected telephone answering device, and fax calls will be received automatically provided they come from a machine which sends standard CalliNG tone (CNG).
Incoming Call
Fax reception is automatically activated by fax tone.
The fax message is received on paper.
Auto dial fax call
The call is picked up by the TAD. (Recommended short TAD ring delay such as 1 or 2 rings.)
The external TAD outgoing message begins (recommended length of 10 seconds or less).
Voice call
The caller leaves a voice message on the external TAD.
The caller must press
Manual fax call
The caller can also send a fax message after the voice message.
Start or enter your remote activation code to activate the machine and press Start.
The fax message is received on paper.
