Brother® One Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service

(USA only)

Who is covered:

This limited warranty (“warranty”) is given only to the original end-use/retail purchaser (referred to in this warranty as “Original Purchaser”) of the accompanying product, consumables and accessories (collectively referred to in this warranty as “this Product”).

If you purchased a product from someone other than an authorized Brother reseller in the United States or if the product was used (including but not limited to floor models or refurbished product), prior to your purchase you are not the Original Purchaser and the product that you purchased is not covered by this warranty.

What is covered:

This Product includes a Machine and Consumable and Accessory Items. Consumable and Accessory Items include but are not limited to print heads, toner, drums, ink cartridges, print cartridges, refill ribbons, therma PLUS paper and thermal paper.

Except as otherwise provided herein, Brother warrants that the Machine and the accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, when used under normal conditions.

This warranty applies only to products purchased and used in the United States. For products purchased in, but used outside, the United States, this warranty covers only warranty service within the United States (and does not include shipping outside the United States).

What is the length of the Warranty Periods:

Machines: one year from the original purchase date.

Accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items: 90 days from the original purchase date or the rated life of consumable, whichever comes first.

What is NOT covered:

This warranty does not cover:

1Physical damage to this Product;

2Damage caused by improper installation, improper or abnormal use, misuse, neglect or accident (including but not limited to transporting this Product without the proper preparation and/or packaging);

3 Damage caused by another device or software used with this Product (including but not limited to damage resulting from

use of non Brother®-brand parts and Consumable and Accessory Items);

4Consumable and Accessory Items that expired in accordance with a rated life; and,

5Problems arising from other than defects in materials or workmanship.

6Normal Periodic Maintenance Items, such as Paper Feeding Kit, Fuser and Laser Units.

This limited warranty is VOID if this Product has been altered or modified in any way (including but not limited to attempted warranty repair without authorization from Brother and/or alteration/removal of the serial number).

What to do if you think your Product is eligible for warranty service:

Report your issue to either our Customer Service Hotline at 1-800-284-4329 for Fax, MFC and DCP and 1-800-276-7746 for Printers, or to a Brother Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period. Supply Brother or the Brother Authorized Service Center with a copy of your dated bill of sale showing that this Product was purchased within the U.S. For the name of local Brother Authorized Service Center(s), call 1-800-521-2846.

What Brother will ask you to do:

After contacting Brother or a Brother Authorized Service Center, you may be required to deliver (by hand if you prefer) or send the Product properly packaged, freight prepaid, to the Authorized Service Center together with a photocopy of your bill of sale.

You are responsible for the cost of shipping, packing product, and insurance (if you desire). You are also responsible for loss or damage to this Product in shipping.

What Brother will do:

If the problem reported concerning your Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is covered by this warranty and if you first reported the problem to Brother or an Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period, Brother or its Authorized Service Center will repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items at no charge to you for parts or labor. The decision as to whether to repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items is made by Brother in its sole discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply

Brother® One Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service

(USA only)

a refurbished or remanufactured replacement Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished parts provided such replacement products conform to the manufacturer's specifications for new product/parts. The repaired or replacement Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be returned to you freight prepaid or made available for you to pick up at a conveniently located Authorized Service Center.

If the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items are not covered by this warranty (either stage), you will be charged for shipping the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items back to you and charged for any service and/or replacement parts/products at Brother's then current published rates.

The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under this warranty.

What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine:

When a replacement Machine is authorized by Brother, and you have delivered the Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized Service Center will provide you with a replacement Machine after receiving one from Brother. If you are dealing directly with Brother, Brother will send to you a replacement Machine with the understanding that you will, after receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the required proof of purchase information, together with the Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You are then expected to pack the Machine that Brother agreed to replace in the package from the replacement Machine and return it to Brother using the pre-paid freight bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions provided by Brother. Since you will be in possession of two machines, Brother will require that you provide a valid major credit card number. Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account number that you provide until Brother receives your original Product and determines that your original Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be charged up to the cost of a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the problems with your original Product are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions are not followed and has caused damage to the product; or (iv) the warranty period on your original Product has expired or has not been sufficiently validated with a copy

of the proof of purchase (bill of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original Machine shall become the property of Brother. Retain your original

Accessory Items and a copy of the return freight bill, signed by the courier.

Limitations:

Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss of any equipment, media, programs or data related to the use of this Product. Except for that repair or replacement as described above, Brother shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or specific relief. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.

THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHETHER EXPRESSED BY AFFIRMATION, PROMISE, DESCRIPTION, DRAWING, MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS ONE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.

This Limited Warranty is the only warranty that Brother is giving for this Product. It is the final expression and the exclusive and only statement of Brother's obligations to you. It replaces all other agreements and understandings that you may have with Brother or its representatives.

This warranty gives you certain rights and you may also have other rights that may vary from state to state.

This Limited Warranty (and Brother's obligation to you) may not be changed in any way unless you and Brother sign the same piece of paper in which we (1) refer to this Product and your bill of sale date, (2) describe the change to this warranty and

(3) agree to make that change.

Important:

We recommend that you keep all original packing materials, in the event that you ship this Product.

BROTHER MULTIFUNCTION CENTER/FACSIMILE MACHINE

LIMITED WARRANTY (Canada only)

Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts, Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its Authorized Service Centers, will repair this MFC/Facsimile machine free of charge if defective in material or workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner and drum) or damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the MFC/Facsimile machine in excess of the specifications or with the Serial Number or Rating Label removed shall be deemed abuse and all repairs thereafter shall be the sole liability of the end-user/purchaser. In order to obtain warranty service, the MFC/Facsimile machine must be delivered or shipped freight prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized Service Center, together with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt.

For laser products: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit on applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the MFC/Facsimile and will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your User's Guide for proper packaging.)

For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty. (Refer to your User's Guide for proper packaging.)

BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW CANNOT BE VALIDLY WAIVED.

No oral or written information, advice or representation provided by Brother, its Authorized Service Centers, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty or modify this warranty. This warranty states Brother's entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the MFC/Facsimile machine to operate properly.

Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this MFC/Facsimile machine shall be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising from the use of or inability to use the product, even if advised by the end user/purchaser of the possibility of such damages. Since some Provinces do not allow the above limitation of liability, such limitation may not apply to you.

This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from Providence to Providence.

Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized Service Centers throughout Canada. For Technical Support or for the name and location of your nearest Authorized Service Center call 1-877-BROTHER.

About fax machines

Custom features

Do you have Voice Mail on the phone line?

If you have Voice Mail on the phone line where you will install your new machine, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the machine may conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls.

Why should there be problems?

Since both the machine and Voice Mail will pick up the call after the number of rings you have set, each of them has the ability to keep the other from receiving calls.

For example, if Voice Mail is set to answer after two rings and your machine is set to answer after four, Voice Mail will stop your machine from receiving faxes.

If you set Voice Mail and the Brother machine to answer after the same number of rings, there is no way of knowing which one will answer first. It is important to remember that neither Voice Mail nor the machine can pass the call back to the other after the call has been answered.

How can you avoid possible problems?

A very good way to avoid problems like the one mentioned, is to get a second phone number on your present phone line.

Many people with Voice Mail choose another service, which is called ‘Distinctive Ring’, and they are very satisfied with it. (See Distinctive Ring on page 39.)

Another way to avoid possible problems is to replace your Voice Mail with an answering machine. Your Brother machine is designed to work with an answering machine or TAD (telephone answering device).

General Information

(See Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) on page 43.)

Fax tones and handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every

4 seconds. You will hear them after you dial and press Black Start or Color Start and they will continue for about 60 seconds after dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the ‘handshake’ or connection 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 quiet beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you will know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the LCD shows

Receiving.

If your machine is set to the Fax Only mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up, your machine will continue to send the ‘chirps’ for about 40 seconds, and the LCD continues to show Receiving. To cancel receiving, press Stop/Exit.

The fax ‘handshake’ is the time in which the sending machine's CNG tones and the receiving machine's ‘chirps’ overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so both 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 60 seconds after the number is dialed. So it is important for the receiving machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

Chapter 1

Note

When you have an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) on your fax line, your TAD will decide the number of rings before the call is answered.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to check a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detects errors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that had an error. ECM transmissions are only possible between fax machines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously being checked by the machine.

2 Loading documents and paper

Loading documents

Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry.

You can send a fax, make copies, and scan from the ADF (automatic document feeder) and from the scanner glass.

Using the ADF

The ADF can hold up to 10 pages and feeds each sheet individually. Use standard 20 lb

(80 g/m2) paper and always fan the pages before putting them in the ADF.

Recommended environment

About paper

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use the recommended paper.

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to choose the proper media in the ‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu (See

Setting the Paper Type on page 21).

When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instruction sheet included with the glossy paper in the paper tray first, and then put the glossy paper on the instruction sheet.

When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Recommended paper

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.)

We recommend using ‘3M Transparency Film’ when you print on transparencies.

Brother paper

Paper Type	Item
Letter Plain	BP60PL

Letter Glossy	BP60GLL

Letter Inkjet (Photo Matte)	BP60ML

Loading documents and paper

Handling and using special paper

Store paper in its original packaging, and
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and	2
away from moisture, direct sunlight and	2

heat.

The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing down.

Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

Improper Setup

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

•Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 0.08 in. (2 mm) or longer

•Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

•Paper already printed on by a printer

•Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

•Paper made with a short grain

Easy Receive

If Easy Receive is On:

The machine receives fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. When you see Receiving on the LCD or when you hear ‘chirps’ through the handset of an extension phone connected to another telephone wall jack, just replace the handset and your machine will do the rest.

If Easy Receive is Off:

You have to lift the handset of an external phone, and then press Black Start or Color Start on the machine.

If you are not at your machine, press l 5 1 on the extension phone. (See Operation from extension telephones on page 38.)

Note

•If this feature is set to On, but your machine does not connect a fax call when you lift an extension or external phone handset, press the fax receive code l5 1.

•If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and the machine intercepts them, set Easy Receive to Off.

Voice operations

Voice calls can be made either with an extension or external telephone.

Tone or pulse

If you are using an external phone and have a pulse dialing service, but need to send tone signals (for example, for telephone banking), follow the instructions below. If you have Touch Tone service, you will not need this feature to send tone signals.

a Lift the handset of the external phone.

b Press # on the control panel of your machine. Any digits dialed after this will send tone signals.

When you hang up, the machine will return to the pulse dialing service.

Operation from extension telephones

If you answer a fax call on an extension or an external telephone connected to the EXT. jack of the machine, you can make your machine take the call by using the Fax Receive Code. When you press the Fax Receive Code l 5 1, the machine starts to receive the fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use the Telephone Answer Code # 5 1 to take the call at an extension phone. (See Setting the F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 35.)

If you answer a call and no one is on the line:

You should assume that you're receiving a manual fax.

Press l 5 1 and wait for the chirp or until the LCD shows Receiving, and then hang up.

Note

You can also use the Easy Receive feature to make your machine automatically take the call. (See Easy Receive on page 36.)

Fax/Tel mode when the power key is on

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/doubleringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.

If you are at an extension phone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press # 5 1 between the pseudo/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

l 5 1.

Fax/Tel mode when the power key is off

You can change the default setting of the On/Off key to Fax Receive:On so that you can receive faxes when the power key is off. (See On/Off setting on page 20.) Fax/Tel mode will work in the following ways.

Fax/Tel mode does not work when the power key is off. The machine will not answer telephone or fax calls and will keep ringing. If you are at an external or extension phone, lift the handset and talk. If you hear fax tones, hold the handset until Easy Receive activates your machine. If the other party says they want to send you a fax, activate the machine by pressing l 5 1.

Phone line services

Your machine supports the Caller ID and Distinctive Ring subscriber telephone services that some telephone companies offer.

Note

•If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or other custom features on your telephone line, it may affect the way your machine works. (See Custom features on page 9 and If you are having difficulty with your machine on page 106.)

•If you have Voice Mail on your phone line, read the following carefully.

Distinctive Ring

Brother uses the term ‘Distinctive Ring’ but different telephone companies have other names for this service such as SmartRing, RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring.

What does your telephone company's ‘Distinctive Ring’ do?

Your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service allows you to have more than one number on the same phone line. If you need more than one phone number, it is cheaper than paying for an extra line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine.

Note

Please call your telephone company for availability and rates.

Phone Services and External devices

What does Brother's ‘Distinctive Ring’ do?

The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your machine to take full advantage of the telephone company's Distinctive Ring service. The new phone number on your line can just receive faxes.

Note

You must pay for your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service before you program the machine to work with it.

Do you have Voice Mail?	6
If you have Voice Mail on the phone line that

you will install your new machine on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, the

Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the machine can work together without any problems. If each one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other's operations.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions on next page to ‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your machine can recognize its incoming calls.

Note

You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it off temporarily, and turn it back on later.

When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this feature.

Chapter 6

Before you choose the ring pattern to register

You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are supported by your Brother machine. Register the one your telephone company gives you.

Ring	Rings
Pattern
1	long-long
1	long-long

2	short-long-short
2	short-long-short

3	short-short-long
3	short-short-long

4	very long (normal
4	very long (normal
	pattern)

Note

If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, please call your telephone company and ask for one that is shown.

The machine will only answer calls to its registered number.

The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the fax must ‘listen’ to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was ‘registered’). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.)

If you program the machine properly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the ‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the ‘voice number’ is called, the machine will not answer.

Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to on, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. You cannot change the receive mode to another mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

Phone Services and External devices

Caller ID

The Caller ID feature lets you use the Caller ID subscriber service offered by many local telephone companies. Call your telephone company for details. This service shows the telephone number, or name if it is available, of your caller as the line rings.

You can use a number in the Caller ID History to send a fax, add it to Speed-Dial, or delete it from the history. (See Caller ID history on page 50.)

After a few rings, the LCD shows the telephone number of your caller (and name, if available). Once you pick up the external

phone's handset, the Caller ID information 6 disappears from the LCD, but the call

information stays stored in the Caller ID memory.

You can see the first 15 characters of the number (or name).

The Out of Area message means the call originated outside your Caller ID service area.

The Private Call message means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of information.

You can print a list of the Caller ID information received by your machine. (See Printing Caller ID List on page 42.)

Note

Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to find out about the kind of service available in your area.

Connecting an external device to your machine

Connecting an external or extension telephone

You can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your machine as shown in the diagram below.

Connect the telephone line cord to the jack labeled EXT.

1Extension telephone

2External telephone

When you are using an external phone, the LCD shows Telephone.

Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device)

You may choose to connect an external answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine ‘listens’ for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.

Phone Services and External devices

The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax ‘handshake’. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.

Note

•If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.

• If You Subscribe to your Telephone	6
company's Distinctive Ring Service:

You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe to your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service, have registered the distinctive ring pattern on your machine, and use that number as a fax number. The recommended setting is at least four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone company's Distinctive Ring Service. You cannot use the Toll Saver setting.

•If You Do Not Subscribe to Distinctive Ring Service:

You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your machine. If your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your machine and the TAD will try to control the phone line. (See illustration below.)

Chapter 6

Improper Setup

Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, the TAD must be connected to the EXT jack of the machine.

1 TAD

When the TAD answers a call, the LCD shows Telephone.

Connections

The external TAD must be plugged into the jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot work properly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring).

a Plug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack into the jack labeled LINE.

b Plug the telephone line cord from the external TAD into the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD's telephone line jack, and not its handset jack.)

c Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machine's Ring Delay setting does not apply.)

d Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.

e Set the TAD to answer calls.

f Set the Receive Mode to

External TAD. (See Choosing the Receive Mode on page 34.)

Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD

Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.

a Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

c End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example: ‘After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing l 5 1 and Start.’

Note

We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving, then you must rerecord the OGM to include it.

Special line considerations

Roll over phone lines

A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually passed down or ‘rolled over’ to the next available phone line in a preset order.

Your machine can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is received, the fax call will be sent to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your machine will work best on a dedicated line.

Two-line phone system

A two-line phone system is nothing more than two separate phone numbers on the same wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or mixed into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four wires (black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a twoline phone and see if it can access both lines. If it can, you must separate the line for your machine. (See page 36.)

Converting telephone wall outlets

There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require help from the telephone company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or you can have an RJ11 wall outlet installed and slave or jump one of the phone numbers to it.

Phone Services and External devices

The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your machine is on Line 1, plug the machine into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triple adapter.

Triplex Adapter

RJ14

Installing machine, external two-line TAD and two-line telephone

When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common connection is to put the machine on Line 2, which is explained in the following steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your external twoline TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.

a Put the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your machine.

b Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the LINE jack on the back of the machine.

c Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.

Chapter 6

d Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT. jack on the left side of the machine.

4Machine

You can keep two-line telephones on other wall outlets as always. There are two ways to add a two-line telephone to the machine's wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line cord from the two-line telephone into the L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or you can plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack of the two-line TAD.

Multi-line connections (PBX)

Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the company that installed your telephone system and ask them to connect the machine for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for the machine.

If the machine is to be connected to a multiline system, ask your installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the unit from being activated each time a telephone call is received.

If you are installing the machine to work with a PBX

a It is not guaranteed that the unit will work properly under all circumstances with a PBX. Report any cases of problems first to the company that handles your PBX.

b If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator, we recommend setting the Receive Mode to Manual. All incoming calls should at first be regarded as telephone calls.

Custom features on your phone line

If you have Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, an answering service, an alarm system or any other custom feature on one phone line it may create a problem with the operation of your machine. (See Custom features on page 9 and If you are having difficulty with your machine on page 106.)

Using a cordless phone

If your cordless telephone is connected to the EXT. jack of the machine 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 Hook to send the call to the cordless handset.

Changing the remote codes

The preset Fax Receive Code is l 5 1. The preset Telephone Answer Code is # 5 1. If you want to, you can replace them with your own codes.

Access codes and credit card numbers

Sometimes you may want to choose from several long distance carriers when you make a call. Rates may vary depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes or longdistance carriers and credit card numbers as Speed-Dial numbers. You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate Speed-Dial numbers in any combination. You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad. (See

Storing Speed-Dial numbers on page 50.)

For example, you have stored ‘555’ on Speed-Dial: 03 and ‘7000’ on Speed-Dial: 02.

a Press Search/Speed Dial.

b Enter 03.

Note

If you stored 2 numbers in one Speed-Dial location, you will be asked which number you want to send to.

c Press a or b to choose Speed-Dial. Press OK.

d Enter 02.

e Press Black Start or Color Start. You will dial ‘555-7000’.

To temporarily change a number, you can substitute part of the number with manual dialing using the dial pad. For example, to change the number to 555-7001 you could press Search/Speed Dial, 03 and then press 7001 using the dial pad.

Note

If you must wait for another dial tone or signal at any point in the dialing sequence, create a pause in the number by pressing Redial/Pause. Each key press adds a 3.5-second delay.

Walk-up PhotoCapture Center™ printing must be performed separately from PhotoCapture Center™ operations using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not available.)

IBM Microdrive™ is not compatible with the machine.

The machine can read up to 999 files on a media card.

Use only Smart media cards with a 3.3v voltage rating.

CompactFlash® Type II is not supported.

xD-Picture Card™ Type M (Large Capacity) is supported.

Please be aware of the following:

When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the PhotoCapture Center™ will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed.

Your machine is designed to read media cards that have been formatted by a digital camera.

When a digital camera formats a media card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a media card with your PC, we recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files to the media card we also recommend you use the same folder your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same folder, the machine may not be able to read the file or print the image.

DPOF printing

DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format.

Major digital camera manufacturers (Canon Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. and Sony Corporation.) created this standard to make it easier to print images from a digital camera.

If your digital camera supports DPOF printing, you will be able to choose on the digital camera display the images and number of copies you want to print.

When the memory card (CompactFlash®,

SmartMedia®, Memory Stick®, Memory Stick Pro™, SecureDigital™ MultiMediaCard™ and xD-Picture Card™) with DPOF information is put into your machine, you can print the chosen image easily.
