1
Handling and using special
paper2
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 avoid2
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
Envelopes2
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 avoid2
DO NOT use envelopes:
• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or
an unusual shape
• that are extremely shiny or textured
• with clasps, staples, snaps or tie
strings
• with self-adhesive closures
• that are of a baggy construction
• that are not sharply creased
• that are embossed (have raised writing
on them)
• that were previously printed by a laser
machine
• that are pre-printed on the inside
• that cannot be arranged neatly when
stacked
• that are made of paper that weighs
more than the paper weight
specifications for the machine
• with edges that are not straight or
consistently square
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or
perforations
• with glue on surface as shown in figure
below
•
with double flaps as shown in figure below
• with sealing flaps that are not folded
down when purchased
•
with sealing flaps as shown in figure below
• with each side folded as shown in
figure below
If you use any of the types of envelopes
listed above, they may damage your
machine. This damage may not be
covered under any Brother warranty or
service agreement.
20
Loading paper
IMPORTANT
Labels2
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 avoid2
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
type6
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.
31
Chapter 6
Note
Connecting an external
TAD6
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.
Connections6
The external TAD must be connected as
shown in the illustration below.

(Example for U.K.)
1TAD
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.
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.)
32
Telephone and external devices
Note
Note
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
telephones6
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

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

Chapter 6
Note
Operation from external or
extension telephones6
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 only6
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 Codes6
Remote Activation Code6
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 Code6
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 Codes6
You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to
on to use the Fax Receive Code and
Telephone Answer Code.
6
Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset6
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.

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.
