About paper

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before purchasing large quantities.

For best results, use the recommended paper.

■

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu (

■

When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instruction sheet included with the glossy paper in the paper tray first, and then place the glossy paper on the instruction sheet.

■

When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.

■

Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Menu/Set, 1, 2

Recommended Paper

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.)

If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.

We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transparencies.

INTRODUCTION 1 - 9

Handling and using special paper

■

Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

■

The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing down.

■

Avoid touching either side of transparencies, because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

Do not use paper:

■

that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped

2 mm or longer

■

that are extremely shiny or highly textured

■

that were previously printed by a printer

■

that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

■

that are made with a short grain

About fax machines

Fax tones and handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. You’ll hear them after you dial and press

Colour Start

dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake”, or connection, with the receiving machine.

Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line. You will soon learn to listen for these quiet beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you will know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the LCD shows

If your machine is set to the Fax Only mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up, your machine will continue to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the LCD continues to show

Stop/Exit

press The fax ‘handshake’ is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG

tones and the receiving machine’s “chirps” overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so both 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 60 seconds after the number is dialled. So it is important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

When you have an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) on your fax line, your TAD will decide the number of rings before the call is answered.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detects errors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that had an error. ECM transmissions are only possible between fax machines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously being checked by the machine.Your machine must have enough memory for this feature to work.

Setting the Station ID

You should store your name or company name and fax number so they print on all fax pages you send.

It is important that you enter the fax number in the internationally standardised format, i.e. in accordance with the following strict sequence:

■

The “+” (plus) character (by pressing key)

■

Your Country Code (e.g. “61” for Australia, “64” for New Zealand)

■

Your local area code minus any leading “0”

■

A space

■

Your number on the local exchange, using spaces to aid readability as appropriate.

As an example, if the machine is installed in the United Kingdom and the same line is to be used for both fax and voice calls, and your national telephone number is 0161 444 5555, then you must set the fax and telephone number parts of your station ID as: +44 161 444 5555.

Press

Enter your fax number (up to 20 digits). Press

You cannot enter a hyphen. To enter a space press once between numbers.

Use the dial pad to enter your name (up to 20 characters). (See

Choosing the Receive Mode

There are four different Receive Modes for your machine. You can

choose the mode that best suits your needs.

Manual

(manual receive) (with an external or

extension telephone for models without a handset)

The machine automatically answers every call as a fax.

The machine controls the line and automatically answers every call. If the call is a fax it will receive the fax. If the call is not a fax it will ring (pseudo/double ring) for you to pick up the call.

The external answering machine (TAD) automatically answers every call. Voice messages are stored on the external TAD. Fax messages are printed.

You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself.

For dedicated fax lines.

Use this mode if you expect to receive lots of fax messages and few telephone calls. You cannot have an answering machine on the same line, even if it is on a separate wall socket/phone socket on the same line. You cannot use the telephone company’s Voice Mail in this mode.

Use this mode if you have connected an answering machine to your machine. The External TAD setting works only with an external answering machine. Ring Delay does not work in this setting.

Use this mode if you do not receive many fax messages.

If you answer and hear fax tones, wait until the MFC takes over the call, then hang up. (See (MFC-3240C only) on page 4-4.)

Note: If you use a computer modem on the same

line MFC Faxing will not operate correctly.

Polling

Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use your machine to 'poll' other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine.

Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to set up their fax machines for Polling. When someone polls your machine to receive a fax, they pay for the call. If you poll someone's fax machine to receive a fax, you pay for the call.

Some fax machines do not respond to the Polling feature.

Secure Polling

Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and others from falling into the wrong hands while the machine is set up for polling. You can use Secure Polling only with another Brother fax machine. Anyone who polls to receive a fax must enter the polling secure code.
