You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use Brother paper.

 When you print on inkjet paper (coated

paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to choose the correct print media in the Basic tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the machine’s menu.

Chapter 2

IMPORTANT

Recommended print media 2

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See the table below.)

If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.

We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transparencies.

Handling and using print media 2

 Store paper in its original packaging and

keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

 Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of

the photo paper.

 Avoid touching either side of the

transparency paper because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 2 mm or greater curl may cause jams

to occur.

• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

• Short grain paper

Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover

Up to 50 sheets of 80 gsm A4 paper.

 Transparencies and photo paper must be

picked up from the output paper tray cover one page at a time to avoid smudging.

Distinctive Ring 6

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.

Turning on Distinctive Ring 6

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. When Distinctive Ring is on, the LCD will show D/R as the Receive Mode.

Caller ID 6

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone number or name as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your machine memory.

To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.

Advantages of Caller ID 6

For Business

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.

How Does the Caller ID Work?6

The Caller ID Appears on the Display When Your Telephone Rings

As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number or name if the name has been stored as Speed Dial. Once you answer the call, the caller’s ID disappears.

•If ID Unknown appears on the display, it means that the call came from outside your caller ID service area or a public

phone.

•If ID Withheld appears on the display, it means the caller intentionally blocked the

transmission of his/her ID.

Depends on network function.

The Caller ID is Stored in Your Machine Memory 6

The machine can store a maximum of the last 30 incoming caller IDs in the memory, along with the time and date of reception. The 31st call will cause the oldest ID to be erased.

The Caller ID information stored in the memory can be used for the following.

 Printing the Caller ID List.

At Home

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.

You can review calls you received by checking the Caller IDs in memory. This report will list the Date, Time, Phone Number (Caller ID) name, and type of Call (Comment) if available.

FaxAbility 6

FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom that allows you to have an additional number on one phone 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 phones will ring. You can set an external answering device (TAD) to answer calls on the other number(s). (See the chart in this page.)

How Does FaxAbility Work? 6

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 phones will ring as usual. If the fax machine recognises 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 phones 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 phone during that time. You will quickly learn to recognise 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).

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.

NOTE

After you have set the FaxAbility feature to

NOTE

On, the receive mode is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or Voice Mail set up on the FaxAbility number, Manual mode means you must answer all the call yourself. You can not change the receive mode to the other mode while the FaxAbility is set to on. When FaxAbility is on, the LCD will show D/R as the Receive Mode.

How to Turn FaxAbility OFF or ON 6

The FaxAbility function is designed to accommodate the FaxAbility service provided by Telecom. To change the setting, repeat steps a-i; Step g is where you can choose either On or Off.

Call Waiting beeps caused by incoming calls on your main number can affect fax transmissions. If you have FaxAbility Service but don’t have Call Waiting, you need do nothing at this stage. If you do have Call Waiting as well as FaxAbility, set the Call Waiting menu option to On. See below.

Distinctive Ring (For Singapore and Hong Kong) 6

This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ring pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your machine.

Your machine has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes. You will need to set Distinctive Ring 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 Ring number.

TAD (telephone

Connecting an external

answering device)

You may choose to connect an external answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the machine, the TAD answers all calls and the machine “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it hears them, the machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it does not hear CNG tones, the machine lets the TAD continue playing your outgoing message so your caller can leave a voice message.

The TAD must answer within two rings (the recommended setting is two rings). The machine cannot hear CNG tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings, there are only 8 to 10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax “handshake”. Make sure you carefully follow the instructions in this guide for recording your outgoing message. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external answering machine if it exceeds five rings.

If you do not receive all your faxes, shorten the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.

Chapter 6

NOTE

Recording an outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD 6

Timing is important in recording this message.

a Record 5 seconds of silence at the

beginning of your message. (This allows your machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.)

b Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5 second silence because the machine may not hear the fax tones over a voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to include it.

External and extension telephones

Connecting an external or extension telephone 6

You can connect a separate telephone to your machine as shown in the diagram below.

Multi-line connections (PABX) 6

Most offices use a central telephone system.

Brother recommends that all our 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.

Operation from external and extension telephones 6

If you answer a fax call on an extension or an external telephone, you can make your machine take the call by using the Remote Activation Code. When you press the Remote Activation Code l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand), the machine starts to receive the fax.

If the machine answers a voice call and fast double-rings for you to take over, use the Remote Deactivation Code #51 (#91 for New Zealand) to take the call at an extension telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) on page 45.)

If you answer a call and no one is on the line:

You should assume that you're receiving a manual fax.

Press l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand) and wait for the chirp or until the Touchscreen shows Receiving, and then hang up.

You can also use the Fax Detect feature to make your machine automatically take the call. (See Fax Detect on page 46.)

Using a cordless external telephone 6

Once the base unit of the cordless telephone has been connected to the same telephone line as the machine (See External and extension telephones on page 56.), you can answer calls on the cordless handset during the Ring Delay.

If you let the machine answer first, you will have to go to the machine and press Pickup to send the call to the cordless handset.

Using remote codes 6

Remote Activation Code 6

If you answer a fax call on an extension or external telephone, you can tell your machine to receive it by dialling the Remote Activation Code l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand). Wait for the chirping sounds and then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect on page 46.)

If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Fax Start and choose Receive.

Remote Deactivation Code 6

If you receive a voice call and the machine is

in Fax/Tel mode, it will start to sound the F/T Ring (fast 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 fast double-rings for you to take over, you can take the call at the external telephone by pressing Pickup.

Changing the remote codes 6

If you want to use Remote Activation, you have to turn on the remote codes. The preset Remote Activation Code is l 51 (l 91 for New Zealand). The preset Remote Deactivation Code is #51 (#91 for New Zealand). If you want to, you can replace them with your own codes.

Routine maintenance A

Replacing the ink cartridges

Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the four cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will display a message.

For example, when one of the ink cartridges is nearly empty, the Touchscreen will display Ink low (name of colour).

You should purchase a replacement cartridge in preparation for when the machine indicates the colour is completely empty.

When one of the ink cartridges is empty, the Touchscreen will display Cannot Print or B&W Print Only.

You should only replace the actual ink cartridge when this message Cannot Print or B&W Print Only appears on the Touchscreen.

The Touchscreen will show which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the Touchscreen prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order.

If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.

Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance and reliability when used with Brother Original ink cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance and reliability if ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges or the refilling of used cartridges with ink from other sources. Damage to the product caused by the use of consumables manufactured by third parties may not be covered by the product warranty. See the terms of the product warranty.

a Open the ink cartridge cover.

If one or more of the ink cartridges have reached the end of their life, the Touchscreen shows B&W Print Only or Cannot Print.

Even though the machine tells you to replace an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.

b Press the lock release lever as shown to

IMPORTANT

release the cartridge indicated on the Touchscreen. Remove the cartridge from the machine.

d Turn the green release lever on the

orange protective packing (1) counterclockwise until it clicks to release the vacuum seal. Then remove the orange protective packing as shown.

c Open the new ink cartridge bag for the

colour indicated on the Touchscreen, and then take out the ink cartridge.

DO NOT touch the area of the cartridge indicated (2); this can prevent the machine from detecting the cartridge.

e Each colour has its own correct position.

NOTE

IMPORTANT

Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of the arrow on the label.

f Gently push the back of the ink cartridge

marked “PUSH” until the cartridge lever lifts, and then close the ink cartridge cover.

Routine maintenance

• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for example Black, the Touchscreen may ask you to verify that it was a brand new one (for example, Did You Change

Black). For each new cartridge you installed, press Yes to reset the ink dot counter for that colour. If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, be sure to press No.

• If the Touchscreen shows

No Ink Cartridge or Cannot Detect after you install the ink

cartridge check that the ink cartridge is a brand new Brother Original cartridge and that it is installed correctly. Remove the ink cartridge and reinstall it slowly until the cartridge lever lifts.

g The machine will automatically reset the

ink dot counter.

• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

•

DO NOT touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your skin.

• If ink gets on your skin or clothing immediately wash it off with soap or detergent.

• If you mix the colours by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, the Touchscreen shows Wrong Ink Colour. Check which ink cartridges are not matched by colours to their ink cartridge positions and move them to their correct positions.

• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge; this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

Cleaning and checking

Cleaning the scanner glass A

a Unplug the machine from the electrical

socket.

b Lift the document cover (1). Clean the

scanner glass (2) and the white plastic (3) with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with a non-flammable glass cleaner.

In addition to cleaning the glass strip with a non-flammable glass cleaner, run your finger tip over the glass strip to see if you can feel anything on it. If you feel dirt or debris, clean the glass strip again concentrating on that area. You may need to repeat the cleaning process three or four times. To test, make a copy after each cleaning attempt.

c (MFC-J4410DW and MFC-J4610DW)

In the ADF unit, clean the white bar (1) and the glass strip (2) with a lint-free cloth moistened with a non-flammable glass cleaner.

After the glass strip is cleaned the vertical line is gone.

Cleaning the print head A

IMPORTANT

NOTE

Routine maintenance

To maintain good print quality, the machine will automatically clean the print head when needed. You can start the cleaning process manually if there is a print quality problem.

Clean the print head if you get horizontal lines in the text or graphics, or blank text on your printed pages. You can clean Black only, three colours at a time (Yellow/Cyan/Magenta), or all four colours at once.

Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.

DO NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause permanent damage and may void the print head's warranty.

a Press (Settings).

• If you clean the print head at least five times and the print has not improved, try installing a new Brother Original Innobella™ ink cartridge for each problem colour.

One or more of the colour ink cartridges have reached the end of their life.

You can use the machine in monochrome mode for approximately four weeks depending on the number of pages you print.

While this message appears on the Touchscreen, each operation works in the following way:

 Printing

If you choose Greyscale in the Advanced tab of the printer driver,

you can use the machine as a monochrome printer.

2-sided print is not available when this message appears.

 Copying

If the paper type is set to Plain Paper you can make copies in monochrome.

Replace the ink cartridges. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 79.)

The machine will stop all print operations, you cannot use the machine until a new ink cartridge is installed in the following cases:

• If you unplug the machine or take out the ink cartridge.

• If the paper type is set to anything except Plain Paper or Inkjet Paper.

• (Windows

) If you check

Slow Drying Paper in the Basic tab of the printer driver.

(Macintosh) If you check

Slow Drying Paper in the Print Settings of the printer driver.

2-sided copy is not available when this message appears.

 Faxing

If the paper type is set to

Plain Paper or Inkjet Paper, the machine will

receive and print the faxes in monochrome.

If a sending machine has a colour fax, the machine’s “handshake” will ask that the fax be sent as monochrome.

Cannot Detect You installed a new ink cartridge too

quickly and the machine did not detect it.

An ink cartridge is not installed correctly.

If you are using non Brother Original ink the machine may not detect the ink cartridge.

Take out the new ink cartridge and re-install it slowly until the cartridge lever lifts. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 79.)

Replace the cartridge with a Brother Original ink cartridge. If the error message remains, contact Brother customer service or your local Brother dealer.

Ink Absorber Full The ink absorber box or flushing box is

full. These components are periodic maintenance items that may require replacement after a period of time to ensure optimum performance from your Brother machine. Because these components are periodic maintenance items, the replacement is not covered under the warranty. The need to replace these items and the time period before replacement is dependent on the number of purges and flushes required to clean the ink system. These boxes acquire amounts of ink during the different purging and flushing operations. The number of times a machine purges and flushes for cleaning varies depending on different situations. For example, frequently powering the machine on and off will cause numerous cleaning cycles since the machine automatically cleans upon power up. The use of non-Brother ink may cause frequent cleanings because non-Brother ink could cause poor print quality which is resolved by cleaning. The more cleaning the machine requires, the faster these boxes will fill up.

The ink absorber box or flushing box will need to be replaced. Contact Brother Customer Service or your local Brother Authorised Service Centre to have your machine serviced.

Other reasons for cleaning are:

1 After a paper jam has been

cleared, the machine automatically cleans itself before the next received fax is printed.

2 The machine automatically cleans

itself after sitting idle for more than 30 days (infrequent use).

3 The machine automatically cleans

itself after ink cartridges of the same colour have been replaced 12 times.

Repairs resulting from the use of non-Brother supplies may not be covered under the stated product warranty.
