Year 2000 Compliant
Brother is addressing the Year 2000 related issues for all Brother fax machines and multi-function centers. Our focus is to ensure that our bundled third-party software will continue to properly process date/time data after January 1, 2000.
Brother fax machines and multi-function centers will function properly after January 1, 2000, provided that all non-Brother hardware, software and firmware used by our customers in connection or combination with Brother fax machines, MFCs and bundled software, accurately exchange date data with the Brother products.
Please continue to check our Web page for updates at http://www.brother.com. All remedies will be provided to individual customers via software patches through software download or from Brother Customer Service.

BROTHER ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY and EXCHANGE SERVICE
(For USA Only)
This warranty gives you certain rights and you may also have other rights that may vary from state to state.
This warranty is given only to the enduse purchaser of the accompanying product (referred to in this warranty as “this Product”).
What is covered: Brother warrants to you for the Warranty Period that there are no defects in the materials, workmanship or Year 2000 compliance of this Product. The “Warranty Period” is 1 year from the date you purchased this product. The “Warranty Period” for consumable items, such as Toner, Drums, etc. is 90 days from the date of purchase, or the rated life of the Consumable item, whichever is shorter.
What is NOT covered: This warranty is VOID — that is, this Product has no warranty — if: (1) you did not purchase this Product from an authorized Brother reseller within the United States, (2) this Product has been serviced, modified or tampered with by anyone other than an Authorized Service Representative of Brother, (3) the serial number has been modified, defaced or removed from this Product, (4) this Product has been abused or damaged, (5) non Brother®- brand or non Brother approved parts, supplies, power supplies or other accessories have been used with this Product, or (6) this Product has been transported without the proper preparation and packaging.
What to do if you think your Product is defective:
Call our Customer Service Hotline at
1-800-284-4329, or if you suspect a defect in materials or workmanship in this Product, you can report it to a Brother Authorized Service Center. During the Warranty Period, supply Brother’s representative with a copy of your dated bill of sale showing that this Product was purchased within the United States.
For the name of your Brother Authorized Service Center, call 1-800-521-2846. After contacting the Brother Authorized Service Center, you may be required to deliver or send the Product properly packaged, freight prepaid, to the Authorized Service Center together with a photocopy of your bill of sale.
What Brother will do: Brother (or its Authorized Service Center) will evaluate your report of a possible defect to determine whether a defect exists, and if it does exist, Brother (or its Authorized Service Center) will repair or (at Brother’s option) replace the Product with a product that performs the same functions and performs as well as the original Product. Brother reserves the right to supply refurbished or remanufactured replacement products provided that the replacement products conform to the manufacturer’s specifications for new products. The repaired or replacement product will be returned to you at no cost.

Exchange service will expedite, in most instances by the next business day, the exchange of your non working Product with a refurbished or remanufactured product that conforms to the manufacturer’s specifications for new products. The refurbished or remanufactured Product you receive will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the replacement Product that is sent to you and must return (or be billed up to the cost of a new product) your original non working product, which shall become the property of Brother. You must call Brother Customer Service and if the representative cannot correct the product’s malfunction over the telephone and you elect the exchange service, you must provide information pertaining to this Product and you must also provide a valid major credit card number.

BROTHER MULTIFUNCTION CENTER/FACSIMILE MACHINE
LIMITED WARRANTY
(For Canada Only)
Pursuant to this limited warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase for labour and parts, Brother International Corporation (Canada) Ltd. (“Brother”), or its Authorized Service Centers, will repair this MFC/Facsimile machine free of charge if defective in material or workmanship. This Limited Warranty does not include cleaning, consumables (including, without limitation, print cartridges, print head, toner and drum) or damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse or improper installation or operation, any damage caused from service, maintenance, modifications, or tampering by anyone other than a Brother Authorized Service Representative, or from the use of supplies or consumable items that are non-Brother products. Operation of the MFC/Facsimile machine 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. In order to obtain warranty service, the MFC/Facsimile machine must be delivered or shipped freight prepaid by the end user/purchaser to a “Brother” Authorized Service Center, together with your Proof of Purchase in the form of a Sales Receipt.
For laser products: Failure to remove the Toner Cartridge (and Toner Drum Unit on applicable models) during shipping will cause severe damage to the MFC/Facsimile and will VOID the Warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)
For ink-jet products: Do not remove the ink cartridges during shipping. Damage to your print head resulting from packing without the ink cartridges will VOID your warranty. (Refer to your Operation Manual for proper packaging.)
BROTHER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS 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 Centers, Distributors, Dealers, Agents or employees, shall create another warranty or modify this warranty. This warranty states Brother’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy against Brother for any failure of the MFC/Facsimile machine to operate properly.
Neither Brother nor anyone else involved in the development, production, or delivery of this MFC/Facsimile 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 Providence to Providence.
Warranty Service is available at Brother Authorized Service Centers throughout Canada. For Technical Support or for the name and location of your nearest Authorized Service Center call 1-800-853-6660. Within Montreal, please call 685-6464.

Introduction
Using This Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Brother Multi-Function Center (MFC). This MFC has been designed to be simple to use, with LCD screen prompts to guide you through functions. However, you can use your MFC to its fullest potential by taking a few minutes to read this manual.
Additionally, your MFC has a Help Key. Press Help to print a list of basic operational steps and functions.
Finding Information
All chapter headings and subheadings are listed in the Table of Contents. You will be able to find information about a specific feature or function by checking the Index in the back of this manual. Also, throughout this manual, you’ll see special symbols alerting you to important information, cautions to avoid damaging the machine, and warnings to avoid hurting yourself. Illustrations of some screen displays also help you choose the correct key-presses.
Test Sheet Procedures (For USA Only)
After programming your Station ID, please fill out the TEST SHEET included with your MFC and fax it to Brother’s Automated Fax Response System as your first transmission. This will verify that your MFC is properly installed. (See Setting Station ID, pages 4-2 to 4-3.)
When this document is received, a confirmation sheet will be sent back to your MFC. In order to receive a response, be sure to set up your Station ID.

About Fax Machines
If you’re a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little mysterious. Soon, you’ll recognize the unusual fax tones on your phone line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.
Fax Tones and Handshake
When someone is sending a fax, the MFC 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 dialing. 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 will 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 MFC is set to the FAX mode, it will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the other party hangs up, your MFC continues to send the “chirps” for about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVING.
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 last for only about 40 seconds after the number is dialed. 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 Assembly and Connections chapter for connecting a TAD to your MFC.
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
ECM is a way for the 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.

Choosing a Location
Place your MFC on a flat stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and shocks. Place the MFC near a telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet. Choose a location where the temperature remains between 50°F and 95°F (10°–35°C).
Avoid placing your MFC in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the MFC to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Do not connect your MFC to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the MFC’s memory. Do not connect your MFC 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.
