accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances. 7 If a charge for local calls is acceptable, the “Dial Button” should not be used for local calls. Only

the 7-digits of the local number should be dialled from your telephone. Do not dial the area

code digit or the “0” prefix. 8 This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom ‘111’ Emergency

Service. 9 This equipment should not be used under any circumstances which may constitute a nuisance

to other Telecom customers. 10 Not all telephones will respond to incoming ringing when connected to the extension socket. 11 The answer delay setting of this equipment shall not be set to less than the default setting as

this will destroy Caller ID information. 12 All persons using this device for recording telephone conversations shall comply with New

Zealand law. This requires that at least one party to the conversation is to be aware that it is

being recorded. In addition, the Principles enumerated in the Privacy Act 1993 shall be

complied with in respect to the nature of the personal information collected, the purpose for its

collection, how it is to be used and what it disclosed to any other party. 13 Do not place this product on an unstable surface, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing

serious damage to the product. 14 Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation; to ensure

reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not

be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed,

sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator

or heater. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation

23 This unit will only work in conjunction with a tone signalling (DTMF) telephone, but some

telephones are not compatible. Since noise or speech from the telephone can upset dialling

from this unit, errors may result if the devices are used together in other than quiet conditions. 24 Where it is necessary to dial prefix digits, such as a Caller Display override code (“0196” or

“0197”), this unit will have to be used in conjunction with an associated tone signalling (DTMF)

telephone. 25 Note that some telephones are not compatible with this unit and dialling errors may result if the

two devices are used together in other than quiet conditions. The Telecom Faults Service is

not to be called should such problems arise. In such cases, it is recommended that the prefix

and wanted number are dialled manually. 26 This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device

connected to the same line.

27 This equipment is not capable, under all operating conditions, of correct operation at the higher

speeds for which it is designed. Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances. This condition typically applies to 56 kbit/s modems and facsimile machines operating at >14.4 kbit/s.

28 When using the Caller Line Identification incorporated in this device, verify the integrity of the

recorded digits prior to dialling.

29 Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s Telepermit requirements are

dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:

 There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute

period for any single manual call initiation.

 The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end

of one attempt and the beginning of the next call attempt.

 Automatic calls to different numbers are spaced such that there is not less than 5 seconds

between the end of one call attempt and the beginning of another.

 Equipment shall be set to ensure that calls are answered within 3 and 30 seconds of the

receipt of ringing.

30 In the event of any problem with this device, it is to be disconnected, and a CPE item connected

to one of its terminal ports may be connected directly in its place. The user should then arrange for the product to be repaired. Should the matter be reported to Telecom as a wiring fault and the fault is proven to be due to this product, a call out charge will be incurred by the customer.

31 The Caller ID telephone numbers that are displayed and stored in this equipment include the

caller’s area code but not the toll access “0” prefix. When calling back it is necessary to add a “0” to the telephone number, or if the telephone number is a local number, omit the area code digit. If the toll services of a service provider other than Telecom are being used then a toll charge may be incurred if the “0” prefix toll access code and area code are used.

Loading envelopes and postcards 2

About envelopes 2

 Use envelopes that weigh between 80 to

95 gsm.

 Some envelopes need margin settings to

be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes.

DO NOT use any of the following types of envelopes, as they will cause paper feed problems:

• That are of a baggy construction.

• That are embossed (have raised writing on them).

i While holding the paper tray in place,

pull out the paper support ( ) until it clicks and unfold the paper support

flap ( ).

• That have clasps or staples.

• That are pre-printed on the inside.

Glue Double flap

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.

DO NOT use the paper support flap for Legal size paper.

Chapter 2

IMPORTANT

Loading envelopes and postcards 2

a Before loading, press the corners and

sides of envelopes or postcards to make them as flat as possible.

If envelopes or postcards are “doublefeeding”, put one envelope or postcard in the paper tray at a time.

b Put envelopes or postcards in the paper

tray with the side to be printed on face down, and the shortest edge in first as shown in the illustration. With both hands, gently press and slide the paper side guides (1) and paper length guide (2) to fit the size of the envelopes or postcards.

Loading paper

If you have problems printing on envelopes with the flap on the short edge, try the following:

a Open the envelope flap. b Put the envelope into the paper tray with

the address side down and the flap positioned as shown in the illustration.

Removing small printouts

from the machine 2

When the machine ejects small paper onto the output paper tray cover you may not be able to reach it. Make sure printing has finished, and then pull the tray completely out of the machine.

c Adjust the size and margin in your

application.

e Press Stop/Exit.

The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face up onto the paper tray in front of the machine. When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Chapter 2

Acceptable paper and other print media

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

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 menu. (See Paper Type on page 15.)

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

 When you print on Brother Photo paper,

load one extra sheet of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose.

 When you use transparencies or photo

paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

 Avoid touching the printed surface of the

paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

 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

photo paper. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.

 Avoid touching either side of

transparencies 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.

IMPORTANT

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

Loading 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.

What is the Advantage of using

Telstra

Using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® 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.

FaxStream® Duet® Function?6

How does Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® Work?

Incoming calls to the voice number, will have the standard ring pattern of long, long tone, followed by a pause, repeated, while the new fax number will have a different ring pattern of three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular intervals.

When FaxStream receive a voice call all extension and external phones will ring with a standard ring pattern. The fax machine will ring on the third ring with a standard ring pattern. All external and the extension phones will continue to ring, until you or a telephone answering device can answer the voice number.

When FaxStream receive a fax call on the Duet

Fax machine will answer and automatically receive the fax message without ringing. On the other hand, all extension and external phones will ring twice with a distinctive ring pattern. Do not answer the phone as you are receiving a fax message.

As your telephone rings, the display shows you the caller’s phone number or name if the name has stored in the Speed Dial. Once you answer the call, the caller’s ID disappears. You will see up to the first 16 characters of the number on the display.

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

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 the following page.)

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.

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. (See How to print

a report in chapter 6 in the Advanced User’s Guide.)

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.

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 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 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 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).

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-g; Step e is where you can choose either On or Off.

Note

(Example for Australia)

Telephone and external devices

TAD (telephone answering device)

You may choose to connect an external answering device. However, when you have an

external

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 you 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.

DO NOT connect a TAD elsewhere on the

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 cannot hear fax tones over a resonant or loud voice. You may try omitting this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving, then you must re-record the OGM to include it.

Multi-line connections (

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 27.)

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 LCD 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 28.)

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 38), it is easier to answer calls during the Ring Delay if you carry the cordless handset around with you.

If you let the machine answer first, you will have to go to the machine so you can press

Hook 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 then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect on page 28.)

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

Remote Deactivation Code 6

If you receive a voice call and the machine is in F/T 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 Hook.

IMPORTANT

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 4 cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will tell you with a message on the LCD.

For example, when one of the ink cartridge is nearly empty, the LCD 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 cartridge is empty, the LCD 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 LCD.

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

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 genuine 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 genuine Brother Original cartridges or the refilling of used cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is caused to the print head or other parts of this machine as a result of using incompatible products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

a Open the ink cartridge cover.

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

b Press the lock release lever as shown to

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

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.

Routine maintenance

Note

c Open the new ink cartridge bag for the

colour shown on the LCD, and then take out the ink cartridge.

d Turn the green knob on the protective

yellow cap clockwise until it clicks to release the vacuum seal, then remove the cap (1).

e Each colour has its own correct position.

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

f Gently push the ink cartridge until it

clicks, and then close the ink cartridge cover.

g The machine will automatically reset the

ink dot counter.

• If you replaced an ink cartridge, for example Black, the LCD 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 1 (Yes) to automatically reset the ink dot counter for that colour. If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, be sure to press 2 (No).

• If the LCD shows No Ink Cartridge or Cannot Detect after you install the ink cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

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

Cleaning and checking the machine

Cleaning the scanner glass A

• 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, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation.

• 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.

a 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.

b (MFC-J410 and MFC-J415W only)

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.

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

Routine maintenance

Note

Cleaning the paper pick-up

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.

When there is a spot of dirt or correction fluid on the glass strip the printed sample shows a vertical line.

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

Cleaning the print head A

IMPORTANT

Note

Checking the print quality A

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 and ink cartridges if you get a horizontal line in the text or graphics, or blank text on your printed pages. You can clean Black only, three colours at a time (Cyan/Yellow/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.

If faded or streaked colours and text appear on your output, some of the nozzles may be clogged. You can check this by printing the Print Quality Check Sheet and looking at the nozzle check pattern.
