Machine and/or accompanying Consumable
and Accessory Items is covered by this
warranty and
to Brother or an Authorized Service Center
within the applicable warranty period, Brother
or its Authorized Service Center will evaluate
your report of a possible defect to determine

Brother or an Authorized Service Center will
provide “On-site Warranty Service” during
“Normal Working Hours” and will repair the
Machine and/or accompanying Consumable
and Accessory Items at no charge to you for
parts or labor. “On-site Warranty Service” shall
consist of the remedial service, as

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 the repair 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 andonly 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.
For a limited on-site warranty of 1 year labour and parts from the date of purchase, Brother
International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its authorized on-site service
providers, will repair or replace (at Brother’s sole discretion) this Laser Printer/MFC/Fax
machine free of charge if defective in material or workmanship. This warranty applies only to
products purchased and used in Canada. This limited Warranty does not include cleaning,
consumables (including, without limitation, toner cartridges and drum units, OPC belts, fixing
units, print heads, paper feed rollers, transfer rolls, cleaning rollers, waste toner packs, oil
bottles) or damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation
or any damage caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone
other than a Brother Authorized Service Representative, or if shipped out of the country. The
use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products may void your warranty.
This limited warranty ceases when this machine is rented, sold, or otherwise disposed of.
Operation of the laser printer/MFC/Fax 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. The Laser Printer/MFC/Fax machine will be
serviced on-site. Canadian Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt must be provided
if requested by the service personnel. In the event that geographical location does not permit
us to provide on-site service to you, Brother reserves the right to exchange your machine with
an equivalent or better one through a courier service.
When shipping or transporting your Laser Printer/MFC/Fax machine, please refer to your
Operation Manual for the proper packaging procedures. Failure to remove the Toner
Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit, waste toner packs or oil bottles on applicable models) during
shipping or transport will cause severe damage to the Laser Printer/MFC/Fax machine and
will void the Warranty.
Improper packaging may cause severe damage to the machine during shipping and will void
the warranty.
BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATIONS, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR 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 Centres, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty or
modify this warranty. The warranty states Brother’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy
against Brother for any failure of the Laser Printer/MFC/Fax machine to operate properly.
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this
Laser Printer/MFC/Fax 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 Province to Province.
Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized
Service Centres throughout Canada. For Technical
Assistance or for the name and location of your nearest

Chapter 2
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.
Your supplier should be informed that the
paper or envelopes will be used in a color
laser machine.
Preprinted paper must use inks that can
withstand the temperature of the
machine’s fusing process (392 degrees
Fahrenheit or 200 degrees centigrade for
a period of 0.1 seconds).
If you have selected a cotton bond paper,
paper having a rough surface, such as
cockle or laid finished paper or paper that
is wrinkled or puckered, 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:
If you use any of the types of paper listed
above, 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 will
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 pieces 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 MP tray.
Before you put envelopes in the tray, 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 figure below.
Note
• Before you print envelopes, you must ‘fan’
the stack to avoid paper jams and
misfeeds.
• Before you print a lot of envelopes, test
one to make sure that the print results are
what you want.
• Envelope joints that are sealed by the
manufacturer should be secure.
• DO NOT put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
• For proper printing, you must choose the
same paper or envelope size from your
software application as the paper or
envelopes in the tray.
• We recommend that you do not print
within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges of the
envelopes.
• See Acceptable paper and other media on page 12.

Types of envelopes to avoid2
DO NOT use envelopes:
CAUTION
• 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
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
• with sealing flaps that have not been
folded at purchase
• with sealing flaps as shown in figure
below
• with each side folded as shown in figure
below
If you use any of the types of envelopes
listed above, they may damage your
machine. This damage is not 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.
• with double flaps as shown in figure
below
16
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 belt 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 392 degrees
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a
period of 0.1 seconds.
Loading paper and documents
2
Label sheets should not exceed the paper
weight specifications described in this User’s
Guide. Labels exceeding this specification
may not feed or print properly and may cause
damage to your machine.
Labels can be fed from the MP tray only.
Types of labels to avoid2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,
wrinkled or an unusual shape.
Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet
exposed because your machine will be
damaged.

Choose the correct Receive Mode6
The correct Receive mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber
services (Voice Mail, Distinctive Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the
Brother machine.
Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?
Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but different telephone companies may have other names for this
service such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call,
Date Ident-A-Call, Smart Ring and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing. See Distinctive Ring on page 47 for instructions on setting up your machine using this feature.
Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility
that Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. See
Voice Mail on page 46 for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother
machine?
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are
stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose External TAD as your receive mode.
See External TAD on page 42.
6
Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your receive mode. See
Fax Only on page 42.
Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?
Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?
The Fax/Tel receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the
same line. Choose Fax/Tel as your receive mode. See Fax/Tel on page 42. Important Note: You can not receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine
when choosing the Fax/Tel mode.
Do you expect to receive very few faxes?
Choose Manual as your receive mode. You control the telephone line and must answer every call
yourself. See Manual on page 42.
To set the receive mode follow the instructions below.

Fax Only6
Fax Only mode will automatically answer
every call as a fax.
Fax/Tel6
Fax/Tel mode helps you automatically
manage incoming calls, by recognizing
whether they are fax or voice calls and
handling them in one of the following ways:
Faxes will be automatically received.
Voice calls will start the F/T ring to tell you
to pick up the line. The F/T ring is a fast
double ring made by your machine.
(Also see F/T ring time on page 43 and Ring delay on page 43.)
Manual6
Manual mode turns off all automatic
answering functions unless you are using the

Voice Mail7
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone
line as your Brother machine, Voice Mail and
the Brother machine will conflict with each
other when receiving incoming calls.
For example, if your Voice Mail is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Brother
machine is set to answer after 2 rings, then
your Brother machine will answer first. This
will prevent callers from being able to leave a
message in your Voice Mail.
Similarly, if your Brother machine is set to
answer after 4 rings and your Voice Mail is set
to answer after 2 rings, then your Voice Mail
will answer first. This will prevent your Brother
machine from being able to receive an
incoming fax, since Voice Mail cannot

calls, and the second number rings with a
different ring pattern and is used for receiving
faxes. (See Distinctive Ring on page 47.)
OR
Set your Brother machine's Receive Mode to
"Manual." Manual Mode requires that you
answer every incoming call if you want to be
able to receive a fax. If the incoming call is a
telephone call, then complete the call as you
normally would. If you hear fax sending tones
you must transfer the call to the Brother

To avoid conflicts between your Brother
machine and your voice mail service, do one
of the following:
Get the Distinctive Ring service from your
telephone company. Distinctive Ring is a
feature of your Brother machine that allows a
person with one line to receive fax and voice
calls through two different telephone
numbers on that one line. Brother uses the
term 'Distinctive Ring,' but telephone

Distinctive Ring7
Distinctive Ring 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, such as Smart
Ring, Ring Master or Ident-a-Ring. 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.
Note
• You must pay for your telephone
company's Distinctive Ring service before
you program the machine to work with it.
• Please call your telephone company for
availability and rates.
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 below 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.
7
What does Brother’s ‘distinctive ring’
do?7
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 telephone
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.

Chapter 7
Before you choose the ring pattern to
register7
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.

gives you.

(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
Very important!7
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to On, your Distinctive Ring number will
receive faxes automatically. The receive
mode is automatically set to Manual and you
cannot change it to another receive mode
while Distinctive Ring is set to On. This
ensures the Brother machine will only answer
the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere
when your main telephone number is called.

Telephone services and external devices
Connecting an external
TAD (telephone
answering device)
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.
Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, the
TAD must be connected to the EXT jack of
the machine.
1
Connections7
The external TAD must be plugged into the
back of the machine, into the jack labeled
7
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 back of the
machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
b Plug the telephone line cord from your
external TAD into the back of the
machine, in 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

Chapter 7
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 Fax Receive Code for people
sending manual faxes. For example:
“After the beep, leave a message or
send a fax by pressing l51 and Start.”
Note
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,
then you should re-record the OGM to
include it.
Special line considerations7
Roll over telephone lines7
A roll over telephone 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 telephone line in a
preset order.
Two-line telephone system7
A two-line telephone system is nothing more
than two separate telephone numbers on the
same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers
can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined
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 two-line telephone and see if it can access
both lines. If it can, you must separate the line
for your machine. (See Easy receive on page 44.)
Converting telephone wall outlets7
There are three ways to convert to an RJ11
jack. The first two ways may require
assistance 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 telephone numbers to it.
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.
RJ14
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 would be
transferred to a line that does not have a fax
machine. Your machine will work best on a
dedicated line.

Installing machine, external two-line
TAD and two-line telephone7
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.
Place the two-line TAD and the two-line
telephone next to your machine.
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.
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.
Plug one end of the second telephone line
cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the twoline TAD. Plug the other end into the EXT.
jack on the left side of the machine.

2
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) 7
We suggest you ask the company who
installed your PBX to connect your machine.
If you have a multi line system we suggest
you ask the installer to connect the unit to the
last line on the system. This prevents the
machine being activated each time the
system receives telephone calls. If all
incoming calls will be answered by a
switchboard operator we recommend that
you set the Receive Mode to Manual.
We cannot guarantee that your machine will
operate properly under all circumstances
when connected to a PBX. Any difficulties
with sending or receiving faxes should be
reported first to the company who handles
your PBX.

Operation from extension
telephones7
If you answer a fax call on an extension
telephone, 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 l51 the machine
starts to receive the fax. (See Easy receive on page 44.)
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, use
the Telephone Answer Code #51 to take the
call at an extension telephone. (See F/T ring time on page 43.)
If you answer a call and no one is on
the line:7
You should assume that you’re receiving a
manual fax.
Connecting an external or
extension telephone7
You can connect a separate telephone
directly to your machine as shown in the
diagram below.
Connect the telephone line cord to the jack
labeled EXT.

When you are using an external telephone,
the LCD shows Telephone.
Press l51 and wait for the chirp or until the
machine’s LCD shows Receiving, and then
hang up.
For Fax/Tel mode only7
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.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and
then press Hook to answer.
If you’re at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 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.

Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the EXT. jack of the machine
(see page 52) 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.
Using remote codes7
Fax Receive Code7
If you answer a fax call on an extension or
external telephone, you can tell your machine
to receive it by pressing the fax receive code
l51. Wait for the chirping sounds then
replace the handset. (See Easy receive on page 44.)
If you answer a fax call at external telephone,
you can make the machine receive the fax by
pressing Black Start.
Telephone Answer Code7
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
(make sure you press this between the rings).

Fax reports11
Some fax reports (transmission verification
and fax journal) can be printed automatically

Transmission verification
report11
You can use the transmission report as proof
that you sent a fax. This report lists the time
and date of transmission and whether the
transmission was successful (shown as
“OK”). If you choose On or On+Image, the
report will print for every fax you send.
If you send a lot of faxes to the same place,
you may need more than the job numbers to
know which faxes you must send again.
Choosing On+Image or Off+Image will print
a section of the fax’s first page on the report
to help you remember.
When the verification report is turned Off or
to Off+Image, the report will only print if
there is a transmission error.
Fax journal11
You can set the machine to print a fax journal
(activity report) at specific intervals (every 50
faxes, 6, 12 or 24 hours, 2 or 7 days). The
default setting is Every 50 Faxes, this
means that your machine will print the journal
when the machine has stored 50 jobs.
If you set the interval to Off, you can still print
the report by following the steps on the next
