a Remove the protective tape and film covering the machine, and also from the Touchscreen.

b Make sure you have all the components.

NOTE

•Save all packing materials and the box in case for any reason you must ship your machine.

•You need to purchase the correct interface cable for the interface you want to use (for USB or network connection).

USB cable

We recommend using a USB 2.0 cable (Type A/B) that is no more than 16 feet (five meters) long.

Network cable

Use a straight-through Category5 (or greater) twisted-pair cable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Network.

NOTE

•If you do not plan to use the fax feature on this machine, go to step 3 on page 4.

•To prolong the life of the print head, provide the best ink cartridge economy and maintain print quality, we do not recommend unplugging the machine frequently and/or leaving the machine unplugged for extended periods of time. Each time you plug the machine in, it automatically cleans the print heads, which uses some of your ink.

We recommend using to power down the

machine. Using allows minimal power to the machine, resulting in periodic, but less frequent, cleaning of the print heads.

c Connect the telephone line cord.

Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the jack marked LINE on the machine. Carefully guide the telephone line cord into the cable channel and out the back of the machine. Connect the other end to a modular wall jack.

IMPORTANT

The telephone line cord MUST be connected to the jack marked LINE on the machine.

IMPORTANT

•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 repeatedly insert and remove the cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the cartridge.

•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.

•Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the ink cartridges provided with your machine. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand replacement ink cartridges. Use or attempted use of potentially incompatible ink and/or cartridges in the Brother machine may cause damage to the machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of unauthorized third party ink and/or cartridges. To protect your investment and obtain premium performance from the Brother machine, we strongly recommend the use of Genuine Brother Supplies.

9 Choose the correct Receive Mode

The correct Receive Mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services (Voice Mail, Distinctive Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the Brother machine.

For details, see Using Receive Modes in chapter 5 of the Basic User’s Guide. If you are not using this machine for faxing, go to the next step.

Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?

Brother uses the term “Distinctive Ring” but telephone companies may have other names for this service such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Call, and Smart Ring. See Distinctive Ring in chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide for instructions on setting up your machine using this feature.

Will you be using Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?

If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. See Voice Mail in chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.

Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?

Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose External TAD as your Receive Mode. See the instructions below. For additional details, see Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) in chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide.

Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?

Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your Receive Mode. See the instructions below.

Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?

Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?

The Fax/Tel receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the same line. Choose Fax/Tel as your Receive Mode. See the instructions below. For additional information see Fax/Tel in chapter 5 of the Basic User’s Guide for instructions on setting up and using this receive mode. Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine when choosing the Fax/Tel mode.
