About fax machines
Fax tones and handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones
(CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds.
You’ll hear them after you dial and press
for about 60 seconds after dialling. 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’ll 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
If your MFC is set to the
automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up,
your MFC will continue to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds,
and the LCD continues to show
Stop/Exit
press
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 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 dialled. So it is 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 decide the number of rings before
the call is answered.
Pay special attention to the directions for connecting a TAD in
this chapter. (See Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD) on page 1-15.)

ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC to check a
fax transmission while it is in progress. If the MFC 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 MFC.
Your MFC must have enough memory for this feature to work.

Connecting an external telephone answering
device (TAD)
Sequence
You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when
you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the MFC,
the TAD answers all calls and the MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG)
tones. If it hears them, the MFC takes over the call and receives the
fax. If it doesn’t hear CNG tones, the MFC lets the TAD continue
playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice
message.
The TAD must answer within four rings (the recommended setting is
two rings). The MFC 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.
If you do not receive all your faxes, reduce the Ring Delay
setting on your external TAD.

not its telephone socket.)

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.
1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message.
(This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of
automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Remote Activation
Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing
51 and Start.”
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5-second
silence because the MFC cannot hear fax tones over a resonant
or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your MFC
has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to
include it.
INTRODUCTION 1 - 17

Using extension telephones (For U.K. only)
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 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.

Multi-line connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often
relatively simple to connect the MFC 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 MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for
the MFC. You can then leave the Receive Mode set to Fax Only to
receive faxes any time of the day or night.
If the MFC is to be connected to a multi-line 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 MFC to work with a PBX
1
It is not guaranteed that the unit will operate correctly under all
circumstances with a PBX. Any cases of difficulty should be
reported first to the company that handles your PBX.
2
If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard operator,
it is recommended that the Receive Mode be set to
incoming calls should initially be regarded as telephone calls.

On-screen programming
User-friendly programming
Your MFC is designed to be easy to use with LCD on-screen
programming using the navigation keys. User-friendly programming
helps you take full advantage of all the menu selections your MFC
has to offer.
Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created
step-by-step on-screen instructions to help you program your MFC.
All you need to do is follow the instructions as they guide you through
the menu selections and programming options.
Menu table
You can probably program your MFC without the User’s Guide. But
to help you understand the menu selections and options that are
found in the MFC programs, use the Menu table on page 3-4.
You can program your MFC by pressing
menu numbers.
For example to set

If there is a power failure, you will not lose your menu settings
because they are stored permanently. Temporary settings (such as
Contrast, Overseas Mode, and so on) will be lost. You may also have
to reset the date and time.

Setting the Station ID
You should store your name or company name and fax number and
telephone number to be printed on all fax pages that you send.
It is important that you enter the fax and telephone numbers in the
internationally standardised format, i.e. in accordance with the
following strict sequence:
■
The “+” (plus) character (by pressing key)
■
Your Country Code (e.g. “44” for the United Kingdom, “41” for
Switzerland)
■
Your local area code minus any leading “0” (“9” in Spain)
■
A space
■
Your number on the local exchange, using spaces to aid
readability as appropriate.
As an example, if the machine is installed in the United Kingdom and
the same line is to be used for both fax and voice calls, and your
national telephone number is 0161-444 5555, then you must set the
fax and telephone number parts of your station ID as: +44 161-444
5555.

Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine.
You can use your machine to 'poll' other machines, or you can have
someone poll your machine.
Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to set up their fax
machines for Polling. When someone polls your machine to receive
a fax, they pay for the call. If you poll someone's fax machine to
receive a fax, you pay for the call.
Some fax machines do not respond to the Polling feature.
Secure Polling
Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and others from
falling into the wrong hands while the machine is set up for polling.
You can use Secure Polling only with another Brother fax machine.
Anyone who polls to receive a fax must enter the polling secure code.
Setup for Polling Receive (Standard)
Polling Receive is when you call another fax machine to receive a fax
from it.

BT Call Sign (For U.K. Only)
This machine feature lets you use the BT Call Sign subscriber
service which allows you to have at least two separate telephone
numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own
distinctive ringing pattern, so you know which phone number is
ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for
your machine.
Your machine has a BT Call Sign compatible distinctive ringing
function, allowing you to dedicate a second phone number (on the
same phone line) just for receiving faxes.
You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you
get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.
When you set the BT Call Sign feature to ON, the receive mode
is set to
