Acceptable paper and other print media 2

Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper, labels or envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
Use paper made for plain paper copying.Use paper that is 75 to 90 gsm.DO NOT put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
For correct printing, you must choose the
same paper size from your software 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 paper 2
The machine loads paper from the installed standard paper tray or manual feed slot.
Standard paper tray 2
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 slot 2
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 manual feed slot if you are using special paper, envelopes or labels.
The name for the paper trays in the printer driver in this Guide are as follows:

Handling and using special paper 2
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 avoid 2
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.

Envelopes 2
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 avoid 2
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.
Labels 2
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 avoid 2
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.

Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one telephone line may create problems with the operation of 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 service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions to ‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your Machine can recognize its incoming calls.

Distinctive Ring 7
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.
1
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.
Set the Distinctive Ring to ON Very important!
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 cannot change the receive mode to another mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to On:

FaxAbility 7
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).

Telephone Service for Some Countries 7

Distinctive Ringing (For Singapore and Hong Kong) 7
This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on one telephone line. Each telephone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you will know which telephone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate telephone number for your machine.
Your machine has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to dedicate one telephone number just for receiving faxes. You will need to set Distinctive Ringing to On.
• You can switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this function.
• The machine will answer only calls to the Distinctive Ringing number.
7
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode means you must answer all the call yourself. You can not change the receive mode to the other mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to On.

Caller ID (not available in India) 7
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 machine will stay in Manual receive mode. You will need to set the receive Mode again. (See Choosing the receive mode on page 46.)
56
The Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Call your local telephone company to find out about the kind of service available in your area. This feature may not available in some countries.

Printing the Caller ID List 7
a Press Menu, 2, 0, 3. b Press a or b to choose Print Report.
Press OK. If no ID is stored, the beeper will sound and No Caller ID will appear on the LCD.

Connecting an external TAD 7

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.

a Set your external TAD to one or two
rings. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.)
b Record the outgoing message on your
external TAD.
c Set the TAD to answer calls.
Recording an outgoing message (OGM) 7
a Record 5 seconds of silence at the
beginning of your message. This allows your machine time to listen for fax tones.
b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds. c 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 press l51 (l91 for New Zealand) and Start to send a fax.”
• 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.
d Set the Receive Mode to
External TAD. (See Choosing the receive mode on page 46.)
58
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.

External and extension telephones 7

You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Remote Activation Code l51 (l91 for New Zealand) and Remote Deactivation Code #51 (#91 for New Zealand). (See Using Remote Codes on page 60.)
Operation from external or extension telephones 7
If you answer a fax call on an extension telephone, or an external telephone that is correctly connected to the machine through the T-piece connection, you can make your machine take the call by using the Remote Activation code. When you press the Remote Activation code l51 (l91 for New Zealand) the machine starts to receive the fax.
For Fax/Tel mode only 7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and then press Hook to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring Time and then press #51 (#91 for New Zealand) 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 l51 (l91 for New Zealand).
Connecting an external or extension telephone 7
You can connect a separate telephone directly to your machine as shown in the diagram below.

Using a non-Brother cordless external handset 7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is connected to the telephone line cord (see page 59) 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 transfer the call to the cordless handset.
• If you are always disconnected when accessing your external TAD remotely, try changing the Remote Activation Code and Remote Deactivation Code to another three-digit code using the numbers 0-9, l, #.
• Remote Codes might not work with some telephone systems.
• Not all brands of cordless telephones are compatible for use with your machine.
Using Remote Codes 7
Remote Activation Code 7
If you answer a fax call on an external or extension telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by pressing the Remote Activation Code l51 (l91 for New Zealand). Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect on page 49.) Your caller will have to press start to send the fax.
If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Start.
Remote Deactivation Code 7
If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T mode, it will start to sound the F/T (double-ring) after the initial ring delay. If you pick up the call on an extension telephone you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51 (#91 for New Zealand) (make sure you press this between the rings).
If the machine answers a voice call and pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Hook.
