application as the paper in the tray.
Avoid touching the printed surface of the
paper immediately after printing.
Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph
value, and a moisture content of
approx. 5%.
Type and size of paper2
The machine loads paper from the installed
standard paper tray or manual feed slot.
Standard paper tray2
Since the standard paper tray is a universal
type, you can use any of the paper sizes (one
paper type and size at a time) listed in the
table in Paper capacity of the paper trays
on page 19. The standard paper tray can
hold up to 250 sheets of Letter/A4, Legal or
Folio size paper (80 gsm). Paper can be
loaded up to the maximum paper mark on the
sliding paper width guide.
Manual feed slot2
The manual feed slot can hold a sheet with a
size of 76.2 to 220 mm wide and
116 to 406.4 mm long. You can use the

Handling and using special
paper2
The machine is designed to work well with
most types of xerographic and bond paper.
However, some paper variables may have an
effect on print quality or handling reliability.
Always test samples of paper before
purchasing to ensure desirable performance.
Store paper in its original packaging and keep
it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from
moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Some important guidelines when selecting
paper are:
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may
cause a paper jam or damage your
machine.
Preprinted paper must use ink that can
withstand the temperature of the
machine’s fusing process (200 degrees
centigrade).
If you use bond paper, paper having a
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded
performance.
Types of paper to avoid2
Some types of paper may not perform well
or may cause damage to your machine.
DO NOT use paper:
• that is highly textured
• that is extremely smooth or shiny
• that is curled or warped
12mm or greater curl may cause jams
to occur.
• that is coated or has a chemical finish
• that is damaged, creased or folded
• that exceeds the recommended weight
specification in this guide
• with tabs and staples
• with letterheads using low temperature
dyes or thermography
• that is multipart or carbonless
• that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed
they may damage your machine. This
damage is not covered under any Brother
warranty or service agreement.

Envelopes2
Most envelopes will be suitable for your
machine. However, some envelopes may
have feed and print-quality problems
because of the way they have been made. A
suitable envelope should have edges with
straight, well-creased folds and the leading
edge should not be thicker than two sheets of
paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be
of baggy or flimsy construction. You should
buy quality envelopes from a supplier who
understands that you will be using the
envelopes in a laser machine.
Envelopes can only be fed from the Manual
feed slot. We recommend that you print a test
envelope to make sure the print results are
what you want before you print or purchase a
large quantity of envelopes.
Check the following:
Envelopes should have a lengthwise
sealing flap.
The sealing flaps should be folded crisply
and correctly (irregularly cut or folded
envelopes may cause paper jams).
Envelopes should consist of two layers of
paper in the area circled in the figure
below.
Types of envelopes to avoid2
DO NOT use envelopes:
• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or
an unusual shape
• that are extremely shiny or textured
• with clasps, staples, snaps or tie
strings
• with self-adhesive closures
• that are of a baggy construction
• that are not sharply creased
• that are embossed (have raised writing
on them)
• that were previously printed by a
laser/LED machine
• that are pre-printed on the inside
• that cannot be arranged neatly when
stacked
• that are made of paper that weighs
more than the paper weight
specifications for the machine
• with edges that are not straight or
consistently square
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or
perforations
• with glue on surface as shown in figure
below
2
1 Feeding direction
Envelope joints that are sealed by the
manufacturer should be secure.
We recommend that you do not print
within 15 mm of the edges of envelopes.
• with double flaps as shown in figure
below
21
Page 34
Chapter 2
IMPORTANT
• with sealing flaps that have not been
folded at purchase
• with sealing flaps as shown below
• with each side folded as shown below
If you use any of the types of envelopes
listed above, they may damage your
machine. This damage may not be
covered under any Brother warranty or
service agreement.
Occasionally you may experience paper
feed problems caused by the thickness,
size and flap shape of the envelopes you
are using.
Labels2
The machine will print on most types of labels
designed for use with a laser machine. Labels
should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based
since this material is more stable at the high
temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives
should not come in contact with any part of
the machine, because the label stock may
stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause
jams and print quality problems. No adhesive
should be exposed between the labels.
Labels should be arranged so that they cover
the entire length and width of the sheet. Using
labels with spaces may result in labels
peeling off and causing serious jams or print
problems.
All labels used in this machine must be able
to withstand a temperature of 200 degrees
centigrade for a period of 0.1 seconds.
Label sheets should not exceed the paper
weight specifications described in this User’s
Guide. Labels exceeding this specification
may not feed or print correctly and may cause
damage to your machine.
Labels must be fed from the manual feed slot
only.
22
Types of labels to avoid2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,
wrinkled or an unusual shape.
DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The
exposed carrier sheet will damage your
machine.

Do you have Voice Mail?7
If you have Voice Mail on the telephone 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 telephone number, neither will
interfere with the other’s operations.
If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring

need to follow the directions to ‘register’ the
new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you.
This is so your Machine can recognize its

Distinctive Ring7
Distinctive Ring1 is a function of your Brother
machine that allows a person with one line to
receive fax and voice calls through two
different phone numbers on that one line.
Brother uses the term “Distinctive Ring”, but
telephone companies market the service
under a variety of names. This service
establishes a second telephone number on
the same line as your existing telephone
number, and each number has its own ring
pattern. Typically, the original number rings
with the standard ring pattern and is used for
receiving voice calls, and the second number
rings with a different ring pattern and is used
for receiving faxes. Only one call can be
answered (or made) at any one time and
while this call is in progress, incoming calls to
either number will be presented with a busy
tone.

Contact your Telephone Service Provider to
determine availability and any other related details.
After you have set the Distinctive Ring
feature to On, the receive mode is set to
Manual automatically. Your Distinctive
Ring Number does not allow Voice calls only Faxes. You can not change the
receive mode from Manual mode while
the Distinctive Ring is set to on.

How does your telephone company's
“Distinctive Ring” service work?
Using “Distinctive Ring” service of your
telephone company is the most efficient way
to receive both fax and telephone calls on the
same line. When the voice call comes in, all
phones (extension and external) and the fax
machine will ring to alert you to pick it up. If a
fax call comes in, the fax machine will answer
automatically without ringing, whereas the
extension and external phones will ring twice
with a Distinctive Ring pattern. It is also a
more efficient way of operating a Fax
machine with an extension phone as you do
not have to use the remote activation codes.
It gives you two independent numbers
without the higher cost of a second line.
What does Brother's “Distinctive
7
Ring” do?
The Brother machine has a Distinctive Ring1
feature that allows you to use your machine to
take full advantage of the telephone
company's Distinctive Ring service. The new
telephone number on your line can just
receive faxes.

After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature

FaxAbility7
FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom
that allows you to have an additional number
on one telephone line, with its own distinctive
ring pattern. This way, when you get an
incoming call, you can identify the number
being called by its ring.
How Will the Fax Machine Treat All
Other Numbers?
FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine
will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary)
number. When a call comes in to your main
number, all the telephones will ring. You can
set an external answering device (TAD) to
answer calls on the other number(s). (See the
chart in the following page.)
What is the Advantage of Using the
FaxAbility Function?
Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to
receive both fax and telephone calls on the
same line. It is much easier for your callers
who dial manually. The fax machine will
answer with receiving tones so they will not
have to press an activation code. And the
people who call to talk on your main number
will not have to talk to your fax machine.
Basically, it gives you two independent
numbers without the higher cost of a second
line.
How Does FaxAbility Work?7
Your telephone number will have the
standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while
the new number will have a ring pattern of
long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is
On, you will not hear the first ring of all
incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension
telephones will ring as usual. If the fax
machine recognizes the ring pattern, all
ringing will stop and the fax machine will
answer and automatically receive the fax
message. Otherwise, you will hear the
extension telephones and the fax machine
continue to ring. The fax machine always
listens to the ring pattern before it answers,
so do not pick up the telephone during that
7
time. You will quickly learn to recognize the
ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be
tempted to answer that number. Either you or
a telephone answering device can answer
the main number(s).

Caller ID
(not available in India)7

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.
After a few rings, the LCD will show the
telephone number of your caller (and name, if
available). Once you answer a call, the Caller
ID information disappears from the LCD, but
the call information stays stored in the Caller
ID memory.
You will see the number (or name) on the
LCD.
The ID Unknown message means the
call originated outside your Caller ID
service area.
The ID Withheld 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 the Caller ID List on page 57.)
If you turn off Distinctive Ring, the

Connecting an external
TAD7
You can connect an external Telephone
Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as
your machine. When the TAD answers a call,
your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax
calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine.
If it hears them it will take over the call and
receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will
let your TAD take a voice message and the
display will show Telephone.
The external TAD must answer within four
rings (we recommend you set it to two rings).
This is because your machine cannot hear
the CNG tones until the external TAD has
picked up the call. The sending machine will
send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds
longer. We do not recommend using the toll
saver feature on your external TAD if it needs
more than four rings to activate it.
If you have problems receiving faxes,
reduce the ring delay setting on your
external TAD to one or two rings.

• You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Fax Activation
Code l51 (l91 for New Zealand). (See
Using Remote Codes on page 60.)
• We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,
but if your machine has trouble receiving
faxes, then you should re-record the OGM
to include it.

Multi-line connections (PABX)7
Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our Fax/MFC
machines be connected to a discreet
(dedicated) line. Although a particular PABX
may appear to work with a particular model of
fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the
unit will operate correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a
fax machine to a PABX (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you
contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the fax machine for you.
Brother does not recommend the use of a
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can
cause some functions of the fax machine not
to work correctly.
