Preparing System Approx 4 Minutes

Caution

• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

• DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the cartridge.

• If you mix the colours by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the print head in Appendix B of the User’s Guide.)

• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

• Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother branded ink cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother branded cartridges with this machine or the refilling of empty cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is caused to the print head or other parts of this machine as a result of using incompatible products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

9 Setting the phone line type

If you are connecting the machine to a line that features PBX or ISDN to send and receive faxes, it is also necessary to change the phone line type accordingly by completing the following steps.

1 Press Menu. 2 Press a or b to choose Initial Setup.

Press OK.

PBX and TRANSFER

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 Automatic Branch Exchange (PBX). Your machine can be connected to most types of PABX. The machine’s recall feature supports timed break recall only (TBR). TBR will work with most PABX systems allowing you to gain access to an outside line or send calls to another extension. The feature works when the Tel/R key is pressed.

Note

You can program a Tel/R key press as part of a number stored in a Speed-Dial location. When programming the Speed-Dial number, press Tel/R first (the LCD shows ‘!’), then enter the telephone number. If you do this, you do not need to press Tel/R each time before you dial using a Speed-Dial location. (See Storing numbers for easy dialling on the User’s Guide.)

10 Choosing a Receive Mode

There are four possible receive modes: Fax Only, Fax/Tel, Manual and External TAD.

Are you connecting an external telephone or external telephone answering device to your machine?

Yes

Are you using the voice message function of your external telephone answering device?

No

Do you want your machine to answer every call?

Yes

Do you use your machine for faxes only?

Fax Only

Yes

Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax.

No

Yes

Fax/Tel

Your machine controls the line and automatically answers every call. If the call is not a fax, the phone will ring for you to pick up the call.

Manual

You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself.

External TAD

Your external telephone answering device (TAD) automatically answers every call. Voice messages are stored on the external TAD. Fax messages are printed.

No

1 Press Menu. 2 Press a or b to choose Initial Setup.

Press OK.

3 Press a or b to choose Receive Mode.

Press OK.

4 Press a or b to choose the mode.

To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network access point (router) as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network access point (router). After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point computers on your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the MFL-Pro Suite Software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

1 Write down the wireless network settings of

your access point or wireless router.

SSID (Service Set ID or Network name)

_________________________

WEP Key (if needed)

________________________

WPA-PSK (TKIP) (if needed)

_________________________

The WEP key is for 64bit encrypted networks or 128 bit encrypted networks and can contain both numbers and letters. If you do not know this information you should see the documentation provided with your access point or wireless router. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format.

For example:

64 bit ASCII: Uses 5 text characters.e.g. “Hello”

(this is case sensitive)

64 bit Hexadecimal:

128 bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters.e.g.

128 bit Hexadecimal:

WPA-PSK enables a Protected Access Preshared key that allows the Brother wireless machine to associate with access points using TKIP encryption. WPA-PSK uses a Pre-Shared Key that is more than 7 and less than 64 characters in length.

Note

• Your machine supports WEP and WPAPSK(TKIP). WPA-PSK(AES) is not supported.

• Most access points and routers can store more than one key, but they will only use one at any time for authentication and encryption.

See Chapter 3 of the Network User’s Guide for more details.
