W ARNING! Miscellaneous appro val conditions

National and European laws state that only approved apparatus may be connected to lines provided by Public T elecommunications Operators (PTOs). In the case of analogue Group 3 fax machines such as your Brother fax, this usually implies compliance with national technical requirements, and an approval certificate issued by the national authorities in the country of orig inal sale/import by Brother.

Any marking or certification of your fax machine to harmonised European “CE Mark” requirements for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), and for user safety according to the European LVD (Low Voltage Directive), ARE NOT indicativ e of approval for connection to public telecommunications lines in a country other than that in which the equipment is approved.

Brother advises that this product will not function correctly in a country other than that in which it was originally offered for sale, and does not offer any warranty in the event that this product is used on public telecommunication lines in a country other than that in which it is approved.

Brother further advises that any use of this equipment in such other countries contravenes national and European laws and in so using, the user renders himself or herself liable to prosecution and possible forfeiture of equipment according to local regulations.

Warning. Damage can result if this is not observed.

Features Offered by y our Multi-Function Centre

Your MFC-9050 can be used as a fax machine, a copier and as a 600 dpi laser printer. As well as sending and receiving faxes, you can also print, scan and duplicate documents easily and quickly.

In addition to the above features, the MFC-9550 can also be used as a scanner, an answering machine with electronic voice messaging and a PC fax that enables you to send faxes straight from your PC.

Both the MFC-9050 and the MFC-9550 can store faxes in their built-in memory, which enables you to access faxes that you have received while you are out of your office (a feature known as remote retrieval), or to have incoming faxes automatically forwarded to another fax machine for your convenience.

About Fax Machines

If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. You’ll soon get used to the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

INTRODUCTION

Fax T ones and Handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones, (CNG tones)—soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You’ll hear them when you dial and press Start, and they continue for about 40 seconds after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake” 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 soft beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the screen displays RECEIVING. If your fax machine is set to the Fax Only Mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your fax machine continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVING. To cancel the receiving mode, press

Stop.

When your fax machine is in Fax/Tel (F/T) Mode, it answers with a short beep. After this beep, the fax machine listens for CNG tones, and then responds with receiving tones.

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 the fax 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 40 seconds after the number is dialled. Therefore, it’s 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 determine the number of rings before the call is answered. Pay special attention to the directions in the Installation chapter for connecting a TAD (or answering machine) to your fax machine.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to check the integrity of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are possible only between machines that both have the ECM feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously checked for their integrity.

Sufficient memory must be available in your machine for this feature to work.

CHAPTER TWO

Choosing a Location

Place your machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket.

Avoid placing your machine where it may be knocked. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.

Ensure the airflow from the fan on the right hand side of the machine is not impeded.

CAUTION

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: If you need to remove the moulded mains plug in order to

fit an appropriate type, you must discard the moulded plug immediately having cut it off, in order that it is not inadvertently inserted into a live socket, thus presenting a shock hazard. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code.

Green-and-yellow : Earth Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

As the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol green or green-and-yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.

or coloured

The PC interface is a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) port as defined in EN41003. It must only be connected with a SELV circuit; only the MFL Pro for Fax cable kit (available in an option pack), satisfies this requirement.

NOTICE:

■ This machine must be fitted with an earthed plug.

■ Since the machine is earthed via the mains plug, you can protect

yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network by keeping the power to your machine on when you connect it to a telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move your machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power cord.

■ Do not touch the rollers at the paper exit.
