IMPORTANT

Loading envelopes and postcards 2

About envelopes 2

 Use envelopes that weigh between 80 to

95 g/m

 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 have windows.

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.

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

• That have clasps or staples.

• That are pre-printed on the inside.

Glue Double flaps

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

Chapter 2

b Put envelopes or postcards in the paper

tray with the address side down and the leading edge (top of the envelopes) in first as shown in the illustration. Using 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.

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.

Loading paper

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 that is loaded in the tray.

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 uu page 18.)

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.

 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 printing on to transparencies, load

one extra sheet in the paper tray.

 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.

Chapter 2

IMPORTANT

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

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.

Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover

Up to 50 sheets of 80 g/m2 A4 paper.

 Transparencies and photo paper must be

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

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

a Press Hook. b Press # on the machine’s control panel.

Any digits dialled after this will send tone signals.

When you are finished with the call, the machine will return to the Pulse dialling service.

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will use the F/T Ring (fast double-ring) to alert you to pick up a voice call.

If you are at an external telephone, lift the handset of the external telephone, and then press Hook to answer.

If you are at an extension telephone, you'll need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring

Time and then press #51 between the fast 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 l 51.

Phone line services 6

Your machine supports the Caller ID subscriber telephone service that some telephone companies offer.

Features like Voice Mail, Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, RingMaster, answering services, alarm systems or other custom features on one phone line may create problems with the operation of your machine.

Do you have Voice Mail? 6

If you have Voice Mail on the phone 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 phone 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 on next page to ‘register’ the new Distinctive Ring pattern they give you. This is so your machine can recognise its incoming calls.

Chapter 6

Note

Telephone Service

The caller ID feature of this machine lets you use the caller ID subscriber service offered by certain telephone companies.

Caller ID (Caller IDentification) (not available in certain area)

The Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller's phone number 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 fax machine memory. Besides the standard Caller ID feature, you can also select a single caller's phone number and call back.

 To get the Caller ID service, you have

to apply for it at your local telephone company.

 FSK and DTMF are the two modes for

displaying your calls. Please ask your local telephone

company for whether your mode is FSK or DTMF. If your local telephone company uses DTMF mode, please switch your mode as follows. Contact your local telephone company or Brother dealer in the case that the feature does not work normally. Caller ID feature is not available in the following situation:

1 You have not applied for it at your local

telephone company.

2 The fax machine is connected to an

internal switchboard or other switch device.

3 Due to the switchboard problems or

line problems of local telephone companies, the feature may not work in some areas.

Note

IMPORTANT

Connecting an external TAD (telephone 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 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.

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

Timing is important in recording this message.

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.

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.

Chapter 6

Note

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, 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 to take the call at an extension telephone. (See F/T Ring Time (Fax/Tel mode only) uu page 31.)

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 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 uu page 32.)

Using a cordless external telephone 6

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. Wait for the chirping sounds then replace the handset. (See Fax Detect uu page 32.)

If you answer a fax call at the external telephone, you can make the machine receive the fax by pressing Mono Start and 2 to choose Receive when you select the

Fax Mode to Advanced Mode. (See Setting the Fax Logic (sending and receiving

sequence) uu page 11.)

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 (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.

Once the base unit of the cordless telephone has been connected to the same telephone line as the machine (see External and extension telephones uu page 37), 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 and press Hook to send the call to the cordless handset.

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. The preset Remote Deactivation Code is #51. If you want to, you can replace them with your own codes.

CAUTION

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 four cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will display a message on the LCD.

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

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

When one of the ink cartridges 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.

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. 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 B&W Print Only or Cannot Print.

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

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.

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

Routine maintenance

b Press the lock release lever as shown to

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

d Turn the green release lever on the

orange protective packing (1) clockwise 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

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

e Each color has its own correct position.

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 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 color. If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, be sure to press 2 (No).

• 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 colors 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.

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

• If the LCD shows No Ink Cartridge or Cannot Detect after you install the ink cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are brand new Original Brother and that they are installed correctly.

Note

Error Message Cause Action

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 the ink cartridges for each color have been replaced 12 times.

Telephone Line or Connections

Difficulty Suggestions

Dialling does not work. (No dial tone)

The machine does not answer when called.

Make sure the machine is plugged in and turned on.

Check the line cord connections.

Change the Tone/Pulse setting. (uuQuick Setup Guide)

Lift the external telephone’s handset and listen for a dial tone. If there is no dial tone, ask your telephone company to check the line and/or socket.

Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode for your setup. (See Receive Modes uu page 29.) Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is still no answer, check the telephone line cord connection. If there is no ringing when you call your machine, ask your telephone company to check the line.

Sending Faxes

Difficulty Suggestions

Cannot send a fax. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into

the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket on the machine.

Ask the other party to check that the receiving machine has paper.

feature on a single telephone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving faxes.

For example: If you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a fax, the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. Brother's ECM (Error Correction Mode) feature should help overcome this problem. This condition is related to the telephone system industry and is common to all devices that send and receive information on a single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding a slight interruption is crucial to your business, a separate telephone line with no custom features is recommended.

Copying Difficulties

Difficulty Suggestions

Poor copy results when using the ADF.

Vertical black lines or streaks appear in copies.

Fit to Page does not work correctly. Make sure your source document is not skewed.

Try using the scanner glass. (See Using the scanner glass uu page 24.)

Troubleshooting

Note

Dial Tone detection B

When you send a fax automatically, by default your machine will wait for a fixed amount of time before it starts to dial the number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to Detection you can make your machine dial as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting can save a small amount of time when sending a fax to many different numbers. If you change the setting and start having problems when dialling, you should change it back to the No Detection setting.
