IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

MAIN APPARATUS PORT (modular socket on “T” - shaped line cord connector for EXTENSION TELEPHONE or ANSWERING MACHINE)

Please ensure that any external device connected into the equipment’s external device socket meets the isolation and other safety requirements of BS6301, EN41003 or EN60950 (including Amendment 2). BABT approval of such external devices indicates compliance with one of these safety standards.

STATUTORY STATEMENTS

Your Brother fax machine (the “series apparatus”) may be used in conjunction with additional apparatus (the “main apparatus”) supplied separately, such as telephones and/or an answering machine. The total REN must not in any case exceed 4; for an explanation of REN see chap. 2.

No additional series apparatus may be connected between the incoming line and the equipment. The voltage drop at 40mA introduced by the equipment and the PSTN is 0.5V.

In case additional devices are connected downstream of your equipment, difficulties may occasionally be experienced when making calls from such downstream devices. These difficulties may include: (a) Difficulty in making calls. (b) Problems in conversation being experienced by both parties to a call.

THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS WHEN THE POWER FAILS. ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE FOR ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES.

REQUEST TO INSTALL SOCKETS

This equipment needs to be connected to a new-style modular telephone socket. If your telephone line does not have such a socket, your local Telephone Area Sales Office can fit one for you. If you have extensions that need re-wiring, your Telephone Area Sales Office can also do this for you, or you can do it yourself using one of the many approved extension kits available on the market. Complete the form below and send it to your local Telephone Area Sales Office, whose address you can find in your telephone directory.

Note that a charge is made for this service.

REQUEST TO INSTALL SOCKET(S)

I/we request the installation of new style telephone socket(s).

CHAPTER ONE

Introduction

Using This Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Brother multifunction center (MFC).

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.

CHAPTER ONE

Symbols Used In This Man ual

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.

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.

NO !

Caution

Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated

unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

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.

Open the Black ink cartridge bag and remove the ink cartridge.

Carefully remove the sealing tape from the side of the ink cartridge.

Be sure to peel the tape from the side of the cartridge in the direction away from you.
