Introduction

Using This Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Brother multi-function 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. Press basic operational steps and functions.

About Fax Machines

If you’re a first-time MFC user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. Soon, you’ll recognize the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

(For USA Only)

Fax Tones and Handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press 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’ll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving 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

Start

, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialing.

Stop

INTRODUCTION

When your MFC answers in FAX/TEL mode, the MFC listens for CNG tones and then responds with receiving tones.

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 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 dialed. Therefore, it’s important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

When you have an external telephone answering device (TAD) on your fax line, your TAD 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 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.

Sufficient memory must be available in your MFC for this feature to work.

MFC Setup and Connections

Caution

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device

to protect the product against lightning storms. Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is

specifically designed for a wet location. 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.

Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical

storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed

near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

Whenever you transport the MFC, use the packing materials that came with your machine. If you do not pack the MFC properly, you may void your warranty.

MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

NO !

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 jack and a standard, grounded power outlet.

Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near

heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Make sure nothing blocks the flow of air from the fan on the right side of the machine. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your machine 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.

CHAPTER TWO

Assembly

Installingl the Drum Unit Assembly (with T oner Cartridge)

Unpack the drum unit assembly, including the toner cartridge, and

gently rock it from side to side five or six times.

To prevent damage to the drum, do not expose it to light for longer than a few minutes.

Do NOT remove the clear plastic starter sheet –

it will be ejected while the MFC is warming up.

Do NOT remove the clear plastic starter sheet!

■

This MFC must be grounded using a three-prong plug.

■

Since the MFC is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to your machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.

■

Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line as well as on the telephone line, or unplug the lines during a lightning storm.

■

Do not touch the rollers at the paper exit.

MFC SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

Connect the telephone line.

Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack labeled LINE on the left side of the MFC. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack.

Attach the wire extensions to the multi-purpose sheet feeder, and to the

document guide base.

5Attach the document and paper trays to the MFC and pull out their

extensions.

CHAPTER TWO

Loading Paper in Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder

Open the multi-purpose sheet feeder cover.

Fan the paper well. Load the paper, making sure that the print side is

toward the fax machine and the paper level is stacked below the paper mark. The feeder can hold up to 200 sheets of paper, or up to 10 envelopes.

Adjust the guides to fit the paper, to help prevent paper jams.
