Handling and using special paper 2

The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may
cause a paper jam or damage your machine.
Preprinted paper must use ink that can
withstand the temperature of the machine’s fusing process 392 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).
If you use bond paper, paper having a
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.
Types of paper to avoid 2
Some types of paper may not perform well or may cause damage to your machine.
DO NOT use paper:
• that is highly textured
• that is extremely smooth or shiny
• that is curled or warped
1 A curl of 2 mm or greater may cause
jams to occur.
• that is coated or has a chemical finish
• that is damaged, creased or folded
• that exceeds the recommended weight specification in this guide
• with tabs and staples
• with letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography
• that is multipart or carbonless
2
• that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed , they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.
19
Chapter 2
IMPORTANT
Envelopes 2
Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and print­quality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two sheets of paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser machine.
Envelopes can be fed from the manual feed slot one at a time. We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want before you print or purchase a large quantity of envelopes.
Types of envelopes to avoid 2
DO NOT use envelopes:

IMPORTANT
Labels 2
The machine will print on most types of labels designed for use with a laser machine. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since this material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the machine, because the label stock may stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire length and width of the sheet. Using labels with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jams or print problems.
All labels used in this machine must be able to withstand a temperature of 392 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a period of 0.1 seconds.
Do not feed a label sheet through the machine more than one time.
Types of labels to avoid 2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.
2
• DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The exposed carrier sheet will damage your machine.
• Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this specification may not feed or print correctly and may cause damage to your machine.
• DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have previously been used or are missing few labels on the sheet.

Setting the telephone line type 6

If you are connecting the machine to a line that features a PBX or ISDN to send and receive faxes, it is necessary to change the Telephone Line Type accordingly by completing the following steps. If you are using a line that features a PBX, you can set your machine so that it always accesses the outside line (using the prefix you entered), or accesses the outside line when Tel/R is pressed.
• You can use the numbers 0 to 9, #, l and !.
(Press Tel/R to display “!”.)
• If you choose On, pressing Tel/R (the screen displays “!”.) will let you access an outside line.
• If you choose Always, you can access an outside line without pressing Tel/R.
f Press a or b to choose On or Always.
Press OK.
g Press Stop/Exit.

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.

Chapter 6
Note

Connecting an external TAD 6

You can connect an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as your machine. When the TAD answers a call, your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. If it hears them it will take over the call and receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will let your TAD take a voice message and the display will show Telephone.
The external TAD must answer within four rings (we recommend you set it to two rings). This is because your machine cannot hear the CNG tones until the external TAD has picked up the call. The sending machine will send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds longer. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external TAD if it needs more than four rings to activate it.

Connections 6

The external TAD must be connected as shown in the illustration below.

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

If you have problems receiving faxes, reduce the ring delay setting on your external TAD.
d Set the Receive Mode to External
TAD. (See Choosing the receive mode
on page 27.)

Recording an outgoing message (OGM) 6

a Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows your machine time to listen for fax tones.
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. c End your 20-second message by giving
your Remote Activation code for people sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep, leave a message or press l51 and Start to send a fax.”
• You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Fax Activation Code l51. (See Using Remote Codes on page 35.)
• We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5 second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud voice. You may try leaving out this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving, then you should re-record the OGM to include it.

Multi-line connections (PBX) 6

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.

External and extension telephones 6

You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Remote Activation Code l51 and Remote Deactivation Code #51. (See Using Remote Codes on page 35.)

Connecting an external or extension telephone 6

You can connect a separate telephone directly to your machine as shown in the diagram below.

Operation from external or extension telephones 6

If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external telephone that is correctly connected to the machine through the T-piece connection, you can make your machine take the call by using the Remote Activation code. When you press the Remote Activation code l51 the machine starts to receive the fax.
If you answer a call and no one is on the line:
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.
You can also use the Fax Detect feature to make your machine automatically take the call. (See Fax Detect on page 30.)

For Fax/Tel mode only 6

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (fast/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Tel/R to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 between the fast/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 l51.

Using extension telephones (U.K. only) 6

Your premises may already be wired with parallel extension telephones (those connected to sockets in other rooms in the building), or perhaps you intend to add extension telephones to your line. While the simplest arrangement is a parallel connection, there are some reasons why this arrangement may cause problems.
The most common problem, is someone picking up an extension telephone while the
6
machine is trying to send a fax. Such 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 figure 2). In such a configuration, this machine can always detect whether a telephone is in use, so 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.
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 inserted into the modular socket of the white “T”-shaped connector provided as part of the line cord assembly.

Using Remote Codes 6

Remote Activation Code 6
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by pressing the Remote Activation Code l51. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect on page 30.) Your caller will have to press start to send the fax.
If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Start.
Remote Deactivation Code 6
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 fast/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Tel/R.
Turning on the Remote Codes 6
You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Fax Receive Code and Telephone Answer Code.

Using a non-Brother cordless external handset 6

If your non-Brother cordless telephone is connected to the telephone line cord (see
Connecting an external or extension telephone on page 33) and you typically carry
the cordless handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will have to go to the machine so you can press Tel/R to transfer the call to the cordless handset.

Routine maintenance

Cleaning the drum unit A

If you have print quality problems, the drum may have foreign material, such as glue from a label stuck on the drum surface. Follow the steps below to solve the problem.
a Prepare blank A4 or Letter size paper. b Make sure the machine is in Ready
mode.
c Open the back cover (face-up output
tray).
f Using both hands, slide the manual feed
paper guides to the width of the paper that you are going to use.
g Using both hands, put one piece of A4 or
Letter size paper in the manual feed slot until the top edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller. When you feel the machine pull in the paper, let go. The machine will start the Drum Cleaning process.
d Open the manual feed slot cover.
e Press Clear and Menu at the same
time. The Drum Cleaning message will appear on the LCD.

69
Note
• The machine makes a mechanical noise during the Drum Cleaning process because the machine rotates the OPC drum in reverse. This noise is not due to a malfunction of the machine.
• DO NOT put more than one sheet of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.
• If the paper in the manual feed slot is other than A4 or Letter size, the machine will stop the Drum Cleaning process and eject the paper.
• Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position in the manual feed slot. If it is not, it may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
• DO NOT close the back cover (face-up output tray) during the Drum Cleaning process. The machine will stop the Drum Cleaning process and eject the paper. It may cause a jam.
• If the machine receives a print job before you put the sheet of paper in the manual feed slot, the machine will finish the Drum Cleaning process first, and then print the print job.
h When the machine has finished
cleaning, the machine returns to Ready mode.
If the problem is not solved yet, follow the steps below:
a Open the front cover and leave the
machine turned on for 10 minutes to cool down.
b Slowly take out the drum unit and toner
cartridge assembly.
i Repeat steps e to h two more times
using a new blank sheet of paper each time. Upon completion please discard the used paper.
