Using This Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Brother multifunction center (MFC).
1
This MFC has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen
prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your
MFC to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual.
Additionally, your MFC has a Help Key for assistance. Press Help/
Broadcast to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.
Finding Information
All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents.
You will also be able to find information about a specific feature or
function by checking the Index at the back of this manual. Also,
throughout this manual, you will see special symbols alerting you to
important information, cross-references, and warnings. Illustrations of
some screen displays also help you choose the correct key-presses.

Note or additional information.
The MFC may be damaged or may not work
correctly if this is not observed.
Warning. Damage can result if this is not observed.
About Fax Machines
If you are a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little
mysterious. You will soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your
phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.
Fax T ones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones, (CNG
tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You will hear them
when you dial and press Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds
after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the
“handshake” 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 soft beeps each time you
answer a phone on your MFC line, so you can know if you are about to
receive a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping
sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line,
and the screen displays RECEIVING. If your MFC is set to the Fax
mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones.
Even if the other party hangs up, your MFC continues to send the
“chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display
RECEIVING. To cancel the receiving mode, press Stop.
INTRODUCTION
When your MFC is in Fax/Tel mode, it answers with a short beep. After
this beep, the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and then responds with
receiving tones if the CNG tones are present. If it is a voice incoming
call, the MFC makes an attention sound.
The fax “handshake” is the time in which the sending machine’s CNG
tones and the receiving machines “chirps” overlap. This must be for at
least 2 to 4 seconds, so the fax 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 40 seconds after the
number is dialled. Therefore, it is important for the receiving machine to
answer the call in as few rings as possible. We suggest 2 rings as the
standard setting.
When you have an external telephone answering device (T AD) on your
MFC line, your T AD will determine the number of rings before the call is
answered. Pay special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter
for connecting a TAD (or answering machine) to your MFC.
3
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC to check the
integrity of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions
are possible only between machines that both have the ECM feature. If
they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously
checked for their integrity. Because of this you should send and receive
error free documents, thus avoiding the need to resend.
Sufficient memory must be available in your MFC for this feature to
work.

CHAPTER TWO
Choosing a Location
Place your MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place
that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the MFC near a telephone
socket and a standard, earthed electrical socket. Choose a location where
the temperature remains between 10°C and 32°C (50°–90°F).
Avoid placing your MFC where it may be knocked. Do not place near
heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not
expose the MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Do
not connect your MFC to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the
unit’s memory. Do not connect your MFC to electrical outlets on the
same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the
power supply . Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base
units of cordless phones. Ensure the airflow from the fan on the right
hand side of the MFC is not impeded.
Caution
Keep the MFC out of strong light such as direct sunlight.

CHAPTER TWO
NOTICE:
■ The MFC must be fitted with an earthed plug.
■ Since the MFC is earthed via the mains plug, you can protect
yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the
telephone network by keeping the power to your MFC on when you
connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself
when you want to move your MFC, by disconnecting the telephone
line first, and then the power cord.
IMPORTANT:
If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to fit an appropriate
type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in
order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting a
shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in
accordance with the following code.
Green-and-yellow : Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth
symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.

W ARNING
If ink gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and seek
medical attention if required.
Caution
■ DO NOT remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them.
If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the MFC will not
know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.
■ DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If you do so, the ink may spill
when you take off the sealing tape. If ink stains your body or
clothing, wash with soap or detergent immediately.
■ If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong colour position, you must
clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge
installation and before you start printing because the colours were
mixed.
MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
■ Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the MFC and use it up
within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridge by the
expiry date printed on the cartridge box.
■ DO NOT refill the ink cartridges. Attempting to use refilled
cartridges may cause damage to the print head and will void your
product warranty.
If the INK EMPTY XXXX error message is on the screen display after
you have installed the ink cartridges, check and make sure that the ink
cartridges are installed correctly.
Multi-Line Connections (PABXs)
Most offices use a central telephone system, or PABX. The MFC will
work with most PABX or key systems that allow a two-wire analogue
connection. However, we recommend that you have a separate telephone
line for your MFC. You can then leave the MFC in Fax Mode to receive
faxes any time of day or night.
21
If you are installing the MFC to work with a PABX:
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
1
circumstances with a PABX. Any cases of difficulty should be
reported first to the company that handles your PABX.
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, it is
2
recommended that the Answer Mode be set to Manual. All incoming
calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.
The unit may be used with either pulse or tone dialling telephone
3
service.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
This equipment has a REN value of 1. A BT line has a “bell ringing”
capacity, or REN, of 4. This means that adding downstream-connected
extension telephones and/or extension bells to a total REN of greater
than 4 may cause a reduction in the bell volume. In extreme cases, it
may cause the auto-answer facility of the machine to fail.
Therefore, up to three additional extension telephones (each assuming a
REN of 1), may be connected downstream of your machine. For an
explanation of “downstream connection, read “Using extension
telephones” which follows.
Unless otherwise marked, a telephone provided by BT may be assumed
to have a REN value of 1.
22
CHAPTER TWO
Using Extension T elephones
It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension
telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in
addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is
straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why
this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of
which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone
picking up an extension telephone in order to make an outgoing call.
Additionally, remote activation 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.
Such problems can easily be eliminated however, if you arrange
modification of your extension wiring circuit, such that extension
devices are connected “downstream” of your machine, in a master/slave
configuration. In such a configuration, this 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 below, and the
recommended master/slave configuration is shown in figure 2.
This new connection configuration can be arranged by your contacting
BT, Kingston upon Hull Telecommunications, your PABX 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.

MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Connecting an External T elephone
Answering Device (TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering machine. When
you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine,
the TAD answers all calls. The MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG)
tones. If it hears them, the MFC takes over the call and receives the fax.
If it does not hear the CNG tones, the machine will not answer the call,
and messages can be left on the TAD by callers in the normal way.
The TAD must answer within a maximum of four rings. However, we
recommend two rings as the TAD setting. The MFC cannot hear CNG
tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are
only 8–10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake.” Make
sure you carefully follow instructions in this manual for recording your
outgoing message. Do not use a “toll-saver” ring setting on the TAD.
23
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line—your machine
and TAD will both try to control the line.
Connections
You may connect an external TAD to your MFC, as shown below.
1
Set your external TAD to two rings or less. (The MFC’s Ring Delay
2
setting does not apply).
Record the outgoing message (see below).
3
Set the TAD to answer calls.
4
Set Message Storage (Menu, 1, 8, 1) to VOICE:EXT. (Only for
5

Set the Answer Mode to TAD.

CHAPTER TWO
Outgoing Message (OGM) of External T AD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the
ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
2
(This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of
automatic transmissions before they stop.)
End your 20-second message by giving your Remote Activation
3
Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax manually by pressing
Please note that some faxes that are sent manually cannot be received
automatically because some fax machines do not send a fax tone in
manual mode. In these cases you must inform callers that they must enter
the remote activation code to send a fax.
51 and Start.”
Connecting an External Telephone
Your MFC is equipped with a handset that you can use as a regular
phone. However, you can also connect a separate telephone to your
MFC, as shown below.
Whenever this external phone (or TAD) is in use, the screen displays
EXT. TEL IN USE, and, if the MFC’s handset is lifted, an alarm sounds.
To disconnect the call on the external phone and switch to the MFC, lift
the handset and press Tel (for MFC 730 only) or Speaker Phone (for
MFC-740 only).
CHAPTER THREE
Paper
3
The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you
use in the MFC. You can use plain paper, coated paper , transparencies,
glossy paper, or ganizer paper, and envelopes. We recommend testing
various papers before purchasing large quantities. For best results, use
Brother special coated paper, glossy paper, and transparencies. (See the
page next to front page for information about ordering Brother
accessories).
25
When you print on coated paper, transparencies, and glossy paper, be
sure to select the correct media in the “Quality/Colour” tab in the printer
driver. When using coated paper or transparencies, avoid stacking by
removing each page after copying or printing.
About Brother P aper
Brother paper is manufactured specifically for this MFC, to provide you
with optimum print quality.
Quality Coated Paper for 360 dpi Colour Ink Jet printing—
normal mode (BP36CA for A4)
High Quality Coated Paper for 720 dpi Colour Ink Jet printing—
super fine mode (BP72CA for A4)
Colour Ink Jet Transparencies— fine mode (BPTRA for A4)
Colour Ink Jet Glossy Paper— superfine mode (BPGLA for A4)
26
CHAPTER THREE
■ Brother coated (ink jet) paper is coated only on one side. Make sure
this whiter (coated) side is facing up toward you. Therefore, when
loading paper in the paper cassette, make sure that the whiter side
(the coated side) is facing up.
■ The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Do not touch the shiny side.
Load glossy paper in the feeder with the shiny side facing up toward
you.
■ DO NOT touch the coated side of the paper or either side of
transparencies, because the media absorbs water and perspiration
easily, and this might cause decreased output quality.
■ For optimum output quality, be sure to use paper appropriate for your
resolution setting.
■ Store paper in the original bag, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper
flat and away from moisture and direct sunlight and heat.
■ Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your
next document. Use only recommended transparencies for ink jet
printer.

PAPER
■ Curled or damaged paper may cause paper jams and misfeeds. If the
paper is curled, straighten it as much as possible by rolling it in the
opposite direction to the curl.
■ For optimum output quality, we recommend you use only genuine
Brother paper.
■ If paper will not load from the feeder, try the manual feed slot.
Print Area
The Print Area depends on the settings in the application you are using.
The figures below show the unprintable areas on cut sheets and
envelopes.
Do not use the following types of paper and envelopes:
■ Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper and
envelopes
■ Extremely shiny or highly textured paper and envelopes
■ Envelopes with clasps
■ Envelopes of baggy construction
■ Envelopes not sharply creased
■ Embossed envelopes
■ Paper and envelopes already printed with a laser printer
■ Envelopes preprinted on the inside
■ Paper and envelopes that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

You can let the MFC pick up and detect if it’s a fax or voice call. If it’s a
fax call, the MFC prints the fax. If it’s a voice call, the MFC signals you
with an F/T pseudo-ring for the length of time you selected in F/T Ring
Time.
Even if the caller hangs up during the F/T pseudo-ringing, the MFC
continues the F/T pseudo-ringing for the set time.
Please note that some faxes cannot be received automatically in Fax/Tel
mode, because some fax machines do not send the standard Group 3
calling tone (“CNG”).

of your MFC.
For example, you can leave a message that says:
“Hello, please wait, we are trying to connect you. If you wish to send a
fax, please wait until you hear a fax tone and press the Start key, or, press
51 (your three-digit remote activation code) and press the Start key.”

When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Start when you
answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and wait
for several seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the MFC screen or
when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone
connected to another wall jack, just replace the handset, and your MFC
does the rest. Selecting ON allows the MFC to receive fax calls
automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external
phone. Selecting SEMI lets the MFC receive the call only if you’ve
answered it at the MFC. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to activate the
MFC yourself, by pressing Start or by pressing

■ When you use Auto Reduction and you receive an incoming
document that is smaller than your recording paper, no
reduction will take place, and you will get the same size
recorded as the original.

Advanced Receiving Operations
Operation from an External or Extension
T elephone
An external phone is a telephone that is plugged into your MFC (either
into the MFC’s EXT socket or into the back of the connector that plugs
into the telephone wall socket).
See
“F/T Ring
Time”
in this
chapter
An extension phone is another phone on the same phone number as your
MFC, but plugged into a different telephone wall socket. For example,
your MFC may be connected to a phone line in your study, and you may
have another phone on the same line (and same phone number) in your
kitchen. This feature enables you to answer the phone in the kitchen if it
rings while you are making a coffee, knowing that you can transfer the
call to your MFC if the incoming call is a fax.
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension phone, you can make
your MFC take over by using the Activation Code. When you press the
Activation Code
51, the MFC starts to receive a fax.
49
See
“Outgoing
Message
(OGM) of
External
TAD”
chap. 2
If the MFC answers a voice call and F/T pseudo-rings for you to take
over, use the Deactivation Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension
phone. The Deactivation Code is used only in Fax/Tel mode.
If you answer a call, and no one is on the line, assume you’re receiving a
fax. At the MFC phone, press Start, then hang up. At an extension
phone, press
an external phone, press 51 and wait for the phone to be disconnected
(the screen displays RECEIVING) before you hang up. (Your caller will
have to press Start to send the fax.)
If you accidentally pick up an extension phone when a fax message is
being received, you may disrupt the transmission or render some portions
unreadable.
The Remote Activation Code also can be used by your callers. When you
are using a external TAD, your outgoing message (OGM) should end
with the statement “to send a fax, press
51, wait for fax receiving tones (chirps), then hang up. At
51”.
For Fax/T el Mode Only
When the MFC is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (F/T
pseudo-ringing) to alert you to a voice call. If you’re at the MFC, you
can lift the handset to answer.
50
CHAPTER SIX
If you’re at an extension phone, you’ll need to lift the handset during the
F/T Ring Time and press # 5 1 between the F/T pseudo-rings. If no one
is on the line, or if someone wants to send you a fax, send the call back
to the MFC by pressing

Caller ID (Caller IDentification) (Only for the UK)
Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a
display of the caller’s phone number 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’s memory. In
addition to the standard Caller ID features, you can select a Caller ID and
have your machine dial the number for you.
NOTE: ■ To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service
at your local telephone company, if available.
■ To PABX Users :
Calling line identification signals are not generally delivered
to your Brother fax machine if it is connected behind a
private branch exchange (PBX) system or other call routing
device.
Advantages of Caller ID
51
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.
At Home
Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

CHAPTER SIX
How Does the Caller ID W ork?
The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Y our
T elephone Rings
As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone
number. Once you pick up the handset, the caller’s ID disappears. You
will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.
Helpful Hints
■ If “# UNAVAILABLE” appears on the display, it means that the call
came from outside your caller ID service area. *
■ If “# WITHHELD” appears on the display, it means the caller
intentionally blocked the transmission of his/her ID. *
■ If no caller ID was transmitted to your fax machine, “PICK UP
PHONE” will remain on the display.
* Depends on network Function.
The Caller ID is Stored in Y our Mac hine’ s Memory
The machine can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in
the memory, along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will
cause the oldest ID to be erased.
The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the
following.
■ Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call Reply.
You can scroll through the Caller IDs on the display and select one
for your machine to dial.
■ Printing the Caller ID List.
You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in
memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller
ID), and type of call (Comment).
NOTE: Please set up the number of rings to more than 02 in the Ring
Delay (see chap.6) before you use the Caller ID. If you set up
the number of rings to 01, you cannot receive the Caller ID.

Selecting a Caller ID from the Memory for Call
Reply
You can display the caller IDs that are stored in the memory and select
the caller you want your machine to dial. Call Reply is a convenient
feature whereby your Brother fax can dial back a voice/fax call “onhook” to the opposite party associated with a Caller ID number which

It may be desired (in order to activate certain network services), to insert
a special prefix to be dialled in front of the Caller ID number when
using the Call Reply feature. Some examples of such network services
are :
* Your outgoing Caller ID withheld
The required prefix, typically three to six digits (including # and
symbols) in length, may be inserted after displaying the desired Caller ID
in step 4 on the previous page. (You can enter the prefix up to 20 digits
on the machine. ) The complete number string including the prefix will

Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple
fax numbers. Using the Help/Broadcast key, you can include up to 24
One Touch locations, up to 56 Speed Dial locations (MFC-730) and 100
Speed Dial locations (MFC-740), and up to 50 manually dialled numbers
(maximum of 130 locations (MFC-730) and 174 locations (MFC-740) if
you did not use up any locations for Groups, access codes or credit card
numbers). Real Time Transmission needs to be set to OFF.
However, available memory will vary with the types of jobs in memory
and numbers of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to
more than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to setup
transmissions using dual access and the timer.
The easiest way to broadcast is to first combine frequently used One
Touch and Speed Dial numbers as a Group, which uses up a One Touch
Key . (Remember, you can have up to six Groups and Quick-Dial
numbers can be included in more than one Group). Then by pressing
Help/Broadcast between each location, you can include One Touch,
Speed Dial, Groups, and manual dialling (using the dial pad) in the same
broadcast. Use the Tel-index to help you choose the numbers easily.
After the broadcast is completed, a Broadcast Report will be printed
automatically to let you know the results.

to.
■ Enter the long dialling sequence numbers as you normally would, but
keep in mind that each key counts as one location, so the number of
locations you can call becomes limited.
■ If the line is busy or a connection could not be made for some other
reasons while broadcasting, the MFC will redial the number
automatically.
■ If the memory is full, press Stop to abort the job or press Start to
send the portion that is in the memory (if more than one page has
been scanned).
