Acceptable paper and other media

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you are using in the machine.
To get the best print quality for the settings you have 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 buying large quantities.
For best results, use the Brother paper.
When you print on inkjet paper (coated
paper), transparencies and photo paper, be sure to choose the correct media in the ‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu (See Paper Type on page 22).
When you print on Brother photo paper,
load the instruction sheet included with the photo paper in the paper tray first, and then put the glossy paper on top of the instruction sheet.
When you use transparencies or glossy
paper, remove each sheet at once 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.

Loading documents and paper
Recommended media 2
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.
Brother paper
Paper Type Item

Handling and using media 2
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 photo 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.
Improper Setup
DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:
• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper
1

1 2 mm (0.08 in.) or longer
• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper
• Paper already printed on by a printer
• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked
• Paper made with a short grain
Paper capacity of the output paper tray
Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80 g/m2 A4 paper.
Transparencies or glossy paper must be
picked up from the output paper tray one page at a time to avoid smudging.

Voice Operations 7

Voice calls can be made either with an extension or external telephone.
Tone or pulse (Not available in New Zealand) 7
If you are using an external phone and have a pulse dialling service, but need to send tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below. If you have Touch Tone service, you will not need this feature to send tone signals.
a Lift the handset of the external phone. b Press # on the control panel of your
machine. Any digits dialled after this will send tone signals. When you hang up, the machine will return to the pulse dialling service.
Fax/Tel mode 7
Fax/Tel mode in Power Save condition 7
Fax/Tel mode does not work in the power save condition. The machine will not answer telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing. If you are at an external or extension phone, lift the handset and talk. If you hear fax tones, hold the handset until Fax Detect activates your machine. If the other party says they want to send you a fax, activate the machine by pressing l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand).

Phone line services 7

Your machine supports the Caller ID subscriber telephone service that some telephone companies offer.
Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one phone line may create problems with the operation of your machine.
7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
If you are at an external telephone, lift the handset of the external telephone, and then press Hook to answer.
If you are at an extension phone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 (#91 for New Zealand) between the pseudo/double rings. If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back to the machine by pressing l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand).
Do you have Voice Mail? 7
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that you will install your new machine on, there is
a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, the
Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the machine can work together without any problems. If each one
has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other’s operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions on next page to ‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your machine can recognise its incoming calls.

Caller ID 7
Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone number or name as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your machine memory.
Note
To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.
Advantages of Caller ID 7
For Business
All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.
How Does the Caller ID Work?7
The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings
As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number or name if the name has stored in the One-Touch and Speed-Dial. Once you press Hook and answer the call, the caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.
Note
•If Out of Area appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area or a public
phone.
•If Private Call appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked
the transmission of his/her ID.

FaxAbility 7
FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom that allows you to have an additional number on one phone line, with its own distinctive ring pattern. This way, when you get an incoming call, you can identify the number being called by its ring.
How Will the Fax Machine Treat All Other Numbers? 7
FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary) number. When a call comes in to your main number, all the phones will ring. You can set an external answering device (TAD) to answer calls on the other number(s). (See the chart in the following page.)
What is the Advantage of Using the FaxAbility Function?
Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to receive both fax and telephone calls on the same line. It is much easier for your callers who dial manually. The fax machine will answer with receiving tones so they will not have to press an activation code. And the people who call to talk on your main number will not have to talk to your fax machine. Basically, it gives you two independent numbers without the higher cost of a second line.

How Does FaxAbility Work? 7
Your telephone number will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while the new number will have a ring pattern of long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is On, you will not hear the first ring of all incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension phones will ring as usual. If the fax machine recognizes the ring pattern, all ringing will stop and the fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message. Otherwise, you will hear the extension phones and the fax machine continue to ring. The fax machine always listens to the ring pattern before it answers, so do not pick up the phone during that time. You will quickly learn to recognize the ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be tempted to answer that number. Either you or a telephone answering device can answer the main number(s).

Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device)

You may choose to connect an external answering device. However, when you have an on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine ‘listens’ for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.
The TAD must answer within two rings. The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.

Note
• You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Fax Receive Code l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand). See Using remote codes on page 52
• We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving faxes, then you must re-record the OGM to include it.
Multi-Line connections (PABX) 7
Most offices use a central telephone system. Brother recommends that all our machines be
connected to a discreet (dedicated) line. Although a particular PABX may appear to work with a particular model of fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the fax machine for you.

For example, you might have stored ‘555’ on Speed-Dial #03 and ‘7000’ on Speed-Dial #02. You can use them both to dial ‘555-7000’ if you press the following keys:
Search/Speed Dial, #03, Search/Speed Dial, #02, and Mono Start or Colour Start.
Numbers can be added manually by entering them on the dial pad:
Search/Speed Dial, #03, 7, 0, 0, 1 (on the dial pad), and Mono Start or Colour Start.
This would dial ‘555–7001’. You can also add a pause by pressing the Redial/Pause key.

Chapter 13
Please be aware of the following:
When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the
PhotoCapture Center™ will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed.
Your machine is designed to read memory
cards that have been formatted by a digital camera.
When a digital camera formats a memory card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a memory card with your PC, we recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files to the memory card we also recommend you use the same folder your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same folder, the machine may not be able to read the file or print the image.
