Some envelopes need margin settings to
be set in the application. Make sure you
do a test print first before printing many
envelopes.
DO NOT use any of the following types of
envelopes, as they will cause paper feed
problems:
• That are of a baggy construction.
• That are embossed (have raised writing
on them).
• That have clasps or staples.
.
CAUTION
Note
Do not use the paper support flap for
Legal paper.
• That are pre-printed on the inside.

If you have problems when printing on
envelopes, try the following suggestions:
a Make sure the flap is either to the side of
the envelope or to the back edge of the
envelope when printing.
b Adjust the size and margin in your
application.

Loading paper and documents
Acceptable paper and
other print 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 Brother paper.
When you print on inkjet paper (coated
paper), transparencies and photo paper,
be sure to choose the correct print media
in the ‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in
the Paper Type setting of the menu. (See
Paper Type on page 21.)
When you print on Brother Photo paper,
load one extra sheet of the same photo
paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has
been included in the paper package for
this purpose.
Recommended print media2
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.

Handling and using print
media2
Store paper in its original packaging, and
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and
away from moisture, direct sunlight and
heat.
When you use transparencies or photo
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.
Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of
photo paper. Load photo 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.
You can only print on both sides of the
paper with PC printing. (See Printing for
Windows
on the CD-ROM.)

that features PBX or ISDN to send and
receive faxes, it is necessary to change the
Telephone Line Type accordingly by
completing the following steps.
a Press Menu, 0, 6.
Initial Setup
6.Phone Line Set
b Press a or b to choose PBX, ISDN (or
Normal). Press OK.
c Press Stop/Exit.
PBX and TRANSFER7
The machine is initially set to Normal, which
lets the machine connect to a standard PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network) line.
However, many offices use a central
telephone system or Private Branch
Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be
connected to most types of PBX. The
machine’s recall feature supports timed break
recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most
PBX systems allowing you to gain access to
an outside line, or transfer calls to another
extension. The feature works when Tel/R is
pressed.
Note
You can program a Tel/R key press as
part of a number stored in a One Touch or
Speed Dial location. When programming
the One Touch or Speed Dial number
press Tel/R first (the screen displays “!”),
then enter the telephone number. If you do
this, you do not need to press Tel/R each
time before you dial using a One Touch or
Speed Dial location. (See Storing Speed Dial numbers on page 50.)
However, if PBX is not chosen in the
Telephone Line Type setting, you cannot
use the One Touch or Speed Dial number
that Tel/R press is programmed into.
BT Call Sign (U.K. only)
This machine feature lets you use the BT Call
Sign subscriber service which allows you to
have at least two separate telephone
numbers on one telephone line. Each
telephone number has its own distinctive
ringing pattern, so you know which telephone
number is ringing. This is one way you can
have a separate telephone number for your
machine.
Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible
distinctive ringing functions, allowing you to
dedicate a second telephone number (on the
same telephone line) just for receiving faxes.
Note
• You can switch BT Call Sign off
temporarily, then turn it back on. When
you get a new fax number, make sure you
reset this function. This machine will
automatically answer incoming calls that
use your new fax number.

• When you set the BT Call Sign feature to
ON, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Manual mode will not
respond to incoming telephone calls,
since the number you use for telephone
calls will use the normal ring pattern.

Connecting an external
TAD (telephone
answering device)
You may choose to connect an external
answering device. However, when you have
an external TAD 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 four rings (the
recommended setting is 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 ‘handshake’. Make sure
you carefully follow the instructions in this

Connections7
The external TAD must be connected as
shown in the previous illustration.
a Set your external TAD to one or two
rings. (The machine's Ring Delay setting
does not apply.)
b Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
c Set the TAD to answer calls.
d Set the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choosing the
correct Receive Mode on page 35.)
Recording an outgoing
message (OGM) on an
external TAD7
Timing is important in recording this
message. The message sets up the ways to
handle both manual and automatic fax
reception.
Multi-line connections (PBX) 7
We suggest you ask the company who
installed your PBX to connect your machine.
If you have a multi line system we suggest
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the
last line on the system. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. If all
incoming calls will be answered by a
switchboard operator we recommend that
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will
operate properly under all circumstances
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties
with sending or receiving faxes should be
reported first to the company who handles
your PBX.
Note
Make sure the Telephone Line Type is set
to PBX. (See Setting the telephone Line Type on page 41.)
a Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. (This allows
your machine time to listen for the fax
CNG tones of automatic transmissions
before they stop.)
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
Note
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, then you must
re-record the OGM to include it.

The LCD shows Telephone.
Note
Please make sure you use an external
telephone with a cable no more than
3 metres long.
Operation from extension
telephones7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or an
external telephone plugged into the correct
socket on the machine, you can make your
machine take the call by using the Remote
Activation Code. When you press the Remote
Activation Code l 51, the machine starts to
receive the fax.
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Remote Deactivation Code #51 to take
the call at an extension telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 37.)
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:
7
You should assume that you're receiving a
manual fax.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.
7
Note
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to
make your machine automatically take the
call. (See Fax Detect on page 38.)
Using extension telephones
(U.K. only)7
Your premises may already be wired with
parallel extension telephones, or you may
plan to add extension telephones to your line,
as well as your machine. While the simplest
arrangement is a straightforward parallel
connection, there are some problems with
this arrangement, the most obvious of which
is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile
transmission caused by someone picking up
an extension telephone to make an outgoing
call. Also, Remote Activation Code 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.
These problems can easily be eliminated, if
you arrange modification of your extension
wiring circuit, such that extension devices are
connected ‘downstream’ of your machine in a
master/slave configuration (see fig. 2). In this
configuration the 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, and the recommended master/slave
configuration is shown in figure 2.
7
45
Chapter 7
This new connection configuration can be
arranged by contacting BT, Kingston upon
Hull Telecommunications, your PBX
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
put into the modular socket of the white
‘T’-shaped connector provided as part of the
line cord assembly.

Using a cordless external
telephone7
Once the base unit of the cordless telephone
has been connected to the same telephone
line as the machine (see External and extension telephones on page 45), it is easier
to answer calls during the Ring Delay if you
carry the cordless handset around with you.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Tel/R to send the call to the cordless handset.
Using remote codes7
Remote Activation Code7
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, you can tell your machine to
receive it by dialling the Remote Activation
Code l 51. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. (See Fax Detect
on page 38.)
If you answer a fax call at the external
telephone, you can make the machine
receive the fax by pressing Mono Start and
choosing 2.Receive.

The fax machine must be plugged into master

Note
These telephones are now connected as
external devices (see Connecting an external or extension telephone
on page 45), because they are connected
to the fax machine via the T-connector.
46
Remote Deactivation Code7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is
in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T
(double) ring after the initial ring delay. If you
pick up the call on an extension telephone
you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51
(make sure you press this between the rings).
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at the external telephone by
pressing Tel/R.
Changing the remote codes7
If you want to use Remote Activation, you
have to turn on the remote codes. The preset
Remote Activation Code is l 51. The preset
Remote Deactivation Code is #51. If you
want to, you can replace them with your own
codes.
